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. |

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. |

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

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

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

So why not ask the cadets what their intent was? |

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. |
