Donald Trump Jr criticizes 'insane' white supremacist term

He mentioned in the post, "These people are 100% F**king insane. This is a term used by virtually anyone discussing probability on a daily basis. They will find racism in anything and everything and it needs to stop now! Enough of this BS!"



 

Notably, the ADL claims on its website that the phrase "100%" is used by those who believe that white people are superior to other races and ought to govern society because it is "shorthand for 100% white."

The Glossary page mentioned by Donald Trump Jr in his article notably lacks a complete explanation of the term "100%" according to the ADL.

The organization clarified that variations exist, as per their comprehensive definition of the phrase, provided to Newsweek on Wednesday night.

In a statement to Newsweek, ADL stated, "All the symbols depicted here must be evaluated in the context in which they appear. Few symbols represent just one idea or are used exclusively by one group."

It continued, "For example, the Confederate Flag is a symbol that is frequently used by white supremacists but which also has been used by people and groups that are not racist. Similarly, other symbols in this database may be significant to people who are not extreme or racist."

In addition, the ADL said that it was revising the Glossary to reflect the complete definition of the word and a disclaimer that states, "Caution must be used in evaluating instances of this symbol's use, as most uses of this symbol are not, in fact, white supremacist in nature."
