Yes what's the harm in asking what they meant by using a known racist sign? The Coast Guard had the same issue they asked and determined it was a racist sign and punished a Cadet in some way. Using your logic they would not have done anything and the racist would have continued to be able to make his racist sign. There's no equivalent to some 10 year olds making that sign and punching each other in the arm total false equivalency

Whether they saw it live or someone told him about it what difference does it make? None at all. If it wasn't a known symbol they wouldn't have investigated. Using your logic the Coast Guard shouldn't've investigated. They did investigate and they punished one of their Cadets for the same exact symbol.

It never stops. Even a baby eventually learns not to touch a hot stove. Liberals never, ever learn.
There’s racism that needs to be rooted out. But not everyone who presents any kind of political threat to democrats, is a Klansman.

right. so it’s used for

motive. And when they’re cleared of doing anything wrong, no one apologizes, and for damn sure no one learns any kind of lesson. Because your side can’t win the debate of ideas ( when your ideas are open borders, free everything, and abortion until age 10), so everything is a personal attack.

2) The significant majority of people are not racists.True - no one claimed the majority of all people are racist or that everyone flashing the symbol is doing it with racist intent (regardless of how Jim keeps talking about his sons playing a game)
3) Why are you assisting a bunch of asshats in co-opting normal speech and symbology. You are doing their work for them. Eff 'em, I am reclaiming my OK sign.
Reclaim it and use it when people ask if you want to go to lunch in 5 min. and you're on the phone so you can't talk.
Jim in CT 12-23-2019, 01:33 PM See - more insults from right - and yet you claim the left is having a temper tantrum or is angry. You don't see those type of insults from the people on the left here.
Tell the super. that and come back and let us know what he says.
It was intended to be an insult - a very valid insult, with all kinds of evidence to back it up.
"you claim the left is having a temper tantrum"
I'm stating a fact. I'm not angry. Just stating a fact. I don't generally get angry when my opponents act in a way that increases my chances of winning. That makes me happy, not angry. Many, many times here you've accused me of being angry. It's a desperate hail mary on your part, when you can't refute what I'm saying, nor can you admit I have a point.
The super would laugh in my face. Good for him.
There's a time for genuine, principled outrage. When kids flashing the OK sign sends you all into a frothing fit, maybe ask why that is. Or keep doing it. It's working wonders, which explains why republicans haven't won any elections anywhere since the left began this tactic in the late 2000's. In response, naturally, to getting humiliated, that time by Bush.

"They weren't guilty until proven innocent. They were questioned and then the admin. announced the symbols were a part of a game."
CNN called them disturbing and hurtful.
If not everyone is racist, why do you assume we need to investigate when the kids did this at a football game, when everyone was in a good mood? There was no evidence it was anything resembling racism, except for (1) the OK sign, and (2) the willingness of snowflakes to go bonkers for no reason. That was enough.
If one of the white kids was caught on camera yelling "hey, n***er", right before flashing the sign, OK. But there was nothing to suggest it was anything other than what it turned out to be.
You don't think the left immediately convicts accused racists? Again, tell that to the Duke lacrosse players, god knows how many white cops convicted in the media, or that Sandman kid who be a zillionaire soon. How many examples would I have to cite, exactly, before you might say "you know what, maybe there IS a pattern here." How many? Because whatever the number is, I can cite that many. Al Sharpton made a career out of false racism accusations, and you can't run for POTUS as a democrat without getting on your knees and kissing his ring.
You can't say out loud that your side uses the race card repugnantly. Because liberals are never wrong.

If the post below isn't considered angry, you need to get some help to determine what angry is.
vague insults from a little
twerp who can never criticize his own side or compliment the other side. bleating of the sheep XXXX, that’s 90% of what you do. what did i stay exactly, that was wrong?
from a guy who literally couldn’t bring himself
to showup here for weeks after the election

So why did the CG punish one of their cadets for doing the same thing?
Jim in CT 12-23-2019, 01:43 PM So why did the CG punish one of their cadets for doing the same thing?
Presumably because HE did it. That doesn't say anything about anyone else.
Good lord man, if a black guy kills someone in Chicago this weekend, does that mean every time someone is murdered, we investigate blacks first?
You're holding others responsible for the acts of someone else.
Jim in CT 12-23-2019, 01:45 PM Paul, Al Sharpton literally made a career out of false claims of racism. And you can't run for POTUS as a democrat without getting on your knees and kissing his ring. Instead of hounding him from the public square, he is still enormously powerful on the left. Because dishonestly playing the race card is a major, major component of liberalism. Because it works. Who cares if innocent lives are ruined?
PaulS 12-23-2019, 01:46 PM Presumably because HE did it. That doesn't say anything about anyone else
Exactly - you made my point. He got in trouble for making the ok symbol bc the intent of the symbol was somehow racist and not the way a 11 year old is using it.
And how did the CG know his intent? - They asked him.

And if I said that no one is racist, you'd have a point. I didn't, so you don't.
And where are the apologies from the people in the media who immediately concluded it was racist, Paul? How come you never address that?
Just hand the reigns over to AOC, let her drive the democrat wagon right off the left-edge of the earth.
PaulS 12-23-2019, 01:57 PM And if I said that no one is racist, you'd have a point. I didn't, so you don't.
I do have a point - the CG found that the symbol was racist. All the people on this thread other than WDMSO are totally denying it has any racist intent.
And where are the apologies from the people in the media who immediately concluded it was racist, Paul? How come you never address that?You never asked about that. But let them apologize.

Who is AOC? 1 rep. with 1 vote. Didn't Pelosi say something like "who cares they have 4 votes" when talking about the squad.

So you don't concede AOC is a major influence in the Democrat party right now?
How long does it take to acquire the ability to deny irrefutable truths, if they happen to be politically inconvenient?
Pelosi did say that. And then she flip flopped on impeachment, thanks largely to the squad. Pelosi had been saying all along that impeachment had to be bipartisan.

Really, go back and reread the whole thread and tell me people weren't claiming the symbol didn't have racist connotations and it was nothing more than an okay symbol or part of a game.

The symbol does not have racist connotations 99+% of the time yet whenever someone not with their Left Party Card does it they are immediately called out as racists, and suffer the onslaught or media and the Social Media defenders of Woke.
This is a bigger problem than anything.
And for the tiny handful that do want it to be a symbol of hate, they’re getting a LOT of help from the useful idiots

I agree it doesn't have racist connotations 99+% of the time. This time it might have. It was presented upsides down which I believe is further indication it is racist and it had no connection to anything else that was going on - The video clip on the news I saw did not have cadets punching each other in the arm and I didn't see it live when I was watching the game. For those reasons, I don't think the academies where out of line in looking into it, asking questions and stating the cadets didn't have racist intentions.
There hasn't been any big uproar where people have seen the symbol and are calling people racist. It is as much if not more about the right complaining about it as anyone on the left actually doing it - red herring.
No one would ever accuse some 11 year old in Jim's town at the bus stop who flashed the sign and then punched someone in the arm of being racist.

the Sandman kid was 16 when he was called the next James Earl Ray in every tv station except for one.
True or false? the tv clips we all saw, failed to show that the kids were victims of racist taunts, not perpetrators. watch what you are fed by the media Paul. They obviously have an agenda. Again, how many examples do you need to admit that, because whatever the number is, I can post that many examples.
your side is un-hinged.
The circle game as it’s called, is popular in high schools and colleges too. it requires the ok sign to be flashed upside down. but let’s assume it means Heil Hitler.

Start a thread about sandman if you want - You bring up him and the Duke kids as much as you can. I suppose the right has apologized to Hillary for all the lies that were said about her - they obviously have an agenda. Did you ever see the stat that said people who get their news from Fox actually know less than people who don't watch the news.

The thread is about your sides willingness to go on national TV, and label anyone who disagrees with them, a racist. This is just the latest manifestation.
Hilary is innocent? he didn't lie to protect her predator husband, and lut-shame his victima on national TV? That's all made up?
Children, Paul. I'm talking about kids who did absolutely nothing wrong, but found themselves in yoru sides crosshairs. Deny it all you want. Because lberal=good, aways. A der der.

It certainly was meant as an insult - I returned the venom he posted. I knew he would throw an insult and run away - and that is exactly what happened.
It is like with you, I don't take your rude, vile comments. What kind of person calls people on-line a POS, makes comments about people's wives and kids?
