Yeah, I watched a YouTube video from 16 years ago where they called out that people had been doing fist bumps for at least a decade at that point. Personally I don't remember when I first did a "pound". I don't think it was common when I was in highschool in the 90s, but I was certainly aware of it not being a terrorist fist jab in 2008.

I mean…is “terrorist fist jab” even a thing? This was the tea party, still increasingly blatant yet not totally mask-off dogwhistle racism era. They knew there was no such thing. We knew there was no such thing. It’s just that their rabid fan base would take that ball and run with it because this was the era of birtherism, “secret muslim” accusations, etc.
