That's what happens when "our country and people first" gets classified as white supremacism.



Phrases like "our country and people first" get classified as white supremacy because they are used as dog whistles by white supremacists.


How would you phrase the sentiment differently? Or is it inherently white supremacist?

What if the country isn't majority white?


But that's as silly as classifying the "ok hand" emoji as white supremacist too.


The Streisand Effect when people try to pile on these things as being some kind of secret masonic handshake is insane.

I don't think actual white supremacists could ever come up with propaganda anywhere near as effective.


The phrase "America First" has some... historical baggage.

If you're aware of this and comfortable with it, more power to you, but sometimes it seems like not everyone saying it knows about this.

Normally I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole, but in this case I genuinely wish to be helpful. Best.
