Let me make one thing perfectly clear: I don't care what JR Smith says he was doing. I don't care that he says that he was doing the "upside down 3." I simply don't care because it doesn't matter. Now, you might not care because you have millions of dollars, a big house and a lot of cars. You might not care about what the general public thinks.

The blogger is not saying that JR Smith is flashing "gang signs". He's saying that a black person can't even celebrate by throwing any sort of hand signals, because there are too many people out there that will just assume that the player is gang related.He's saying that even the slightest hint of impropriety means that people have to expend energy explaining that it's a non-issue. He's saying that this kind of immature behavior kickstarts stereotypes and sets back positive images of black people.

Maybe a basketball fan knows what he is doing, but a casual fan does not and assumes the negative.
