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

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.

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.

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. |

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