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.

Just hand the reigns over to AOC, let her drive the democrat wagon right off the left-edge of the earth.

So why did the CG punish one of their cadets for doing the same thing?

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.

Nobody ever denied it, we just didn’t lose our collective minds and immediately jumped to racism when we saw it.

I'm not making anything up. People have their panties all in a bunch.

Correct, nobody ever denied it (though I have to admit it was the first I'd heard of it).

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

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 s in the arm of being racist.

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.And what do you call evangelicals supporting a vile man or the right afraid to criticize a President who insults women, the military generals, dead war hero's ,steals $ from charities, I can go post how ever many posts you want to show the outright hypocrisy of the right.

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.

Tell the super. that and come back and let us know what he says.

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?

Btw , Seadogg posted his opinion. None of which was directed at you personally. The insult was directed towards democrats. You chose to make an ad hominem attack because you take their mistakes personally. But keep complaining about the mean republicans while you mimic what you are crying about. P*ssy,you are the face of the left.������

Oh that's right, you 'call it like you see it's... One might say, if they were to call it like they see it, that your posts on here reflect those of an angry, name calling middle-aged white guy. Perhaps you are the face of the right?
