All the symbols depicted in the hate symbols database must be evaluated in the context in which they appear. Few symbols represent just one idea or are used exclusively by one group. For example, 100% is often used as an amount or an expression and it is also used by some white supremacists as shorthand for "100% white." Similarly, other symbols in this database may be significant to people who are not extreme or racist. The descriptions here point out significant multiple meanings but may not be able to relay every possible meaning of a particular symbol.

The Mississippi Aryan Brotherhood is a large white supremacist prison gang based in the Mississippi state prison system. Despite the similarity of its name, it has no connection to the "original" Aryan Brotherhood, based in California and the federal prison systems.
The logo of the Mississippi Aryan Brotherhood consists of a highly-stylized rendition of a combined A and B (many people confuse it with the letters P or R). Typically SS bolts appear within the AB and a swastika next to it. Also part of the symbol is the number 13 (standing for M or Mississippi) and one or more other numbers, which can vary.
