Reply to comment by Necessary_Cat_4801 in Burlington High girls’ basketball team calls out ‘culture of racism’ in Vermont school sports by RamaSchneider

Nah, he claims he named it after his first car or something like that.

Also, I do notice that you don’t have an 88 in your handle. Nor a 14. I’m not sure about Reddit, but most online spaces avoid these numbers because they are so commonly used by white supremacists.

Now, we can certainly make the argument that folks might not be aware of that. To which I say, now you know, go ahead and change it if you don’t want to be seen as a white supremacist in online spaces. This isn’t new. They’ve been using those numbers since the dawn of the internet. Ignorance isn’t a valid excuse at this point.

I honestly have no idea about the significance of 88 or 14. I am definitely not a white supremacist though, Ive spent way too much time around white people to think we are special in any way.
