Extremist Meaning or Representation

"I have nothing to say."
Background/History

This numeral represents the expression,"5 words," which signifies, "I have nothing to say." Alex Curtis, a San Diego-based white supremacist who coined the phrase, believes that white racists in the United States should use the five words to demonstrate a "code of silence" and to help avoid prosecution by law enforcement.
