no. but getting a bit tired of
endless and baseless charges of racism from your side. It never stops, and we never wait for the facts. Ask that Sandman kid. Or the duke lacrosse teams.
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.

kiss all over the country are playing it. that’s what the cadets were doing. It’s called the circle game.
I saw some guy tying a knot in a rope, should we investigate him to see if he’s in the klan, planning a lynching?

Is the knot a known racist symbol?

right. so it’s used for
multiple things. but when heroic, selfless kids who answer the call to serve the nation do it, your side assumes the worst possible
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.

Look at the CG - someone made the symbol and the admin. decided that the heroic, selfless kid who answered the call to serve the nation made a racist symbol and assumed the worst possible motive - why don't you contact them or your congressman to complain instead of complaining on a fishing website?

Every Single One Of You Posting on this thread has used the OK sign 10, 20, 50 times yer year? Hundreds for some of you? Thousand in some trades? Multiply that by your age so tens of thousands of OK symbols? You must ALLLLLL be racists.
This is like the Woke Bullsh!t Bingo Game runamok. How many perceived co-opted racist microaggressions can we find?
This is effing out of control.

Investigate and determined it wasnt their intent. I can accept that.
We could ask Stephen Miller what he thinks
Hes familiar with the ok corral and runs in those types

And it is silly to have to have an investigation every time the Woke Mob sees a perceived threat.
This is like reporting on your neighbors STALINIST style.

The admin decided to investigate because the WokeMob demanded it.

God forbid you get a pair of Doc Martins for Christmas, that should trigger an immediate investigation.
