So the ok sign can't be used by white supremacists and still be used as intended as ok or (I am all right )

https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/...ght-wing-troll

Dismissing the spread of the hand signal as a hoax overlooks two hard realities: first, that its increasing use gives open license to actual racist ideologues to operate and recruit under the cover of the “plausible deniability” established by less ideological young trolls; and second, that any kind of wink-and-nudge interaction with the racist right is a direct route to its normalization.

1) Presumption of innocence.
2) The significant majority of people are not racists.
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.

"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.

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.

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.
