The image, which plays off Sylvester Stallones geriatric action movie The Expendables, shows Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his sons alongside such hard working men as prominent conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Breitbart commentator Milo Yiannopouloswho was banned from Twitter for inciting hateful rhetoricand Pepe the Frog, an amphibian meme that has been appropriated by Trumps alt-right followers, some of whom use the image to peddle racism, anti-Semitism, and white nationalism.
Roger Stone, a longtime Trump ally, tweeted the same image on Saturday, while former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who is running for Senator in Louisiana, tweeted his own version of the meme, boasting the tagline: Anti-Racist is a code word for anti-white.

"Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white" is a straw man phrase used by white nationalists, white separatists, white supremacists and their ilk. Individuals who make this claim allege that the real bigots are actually the people who claim to be anti-racists, as they have a secret anti-white agenda. This phrase can be found copied and pasted in any comments section of a YouTube video or other web page discussing racial matters.

Thanks for the explanation - I have stayed away from racist/alt right stuff as much as possible.
