go back and read my post I said sometimes the okay signal is considered a white supremacist symbol and sometimes it's not. Obviously the military was concerned enough to investigate. Snarky snarky snarky

if they didn't "investigate" they would be knee-jerk labeled "racist" by your ilk

They already were before the investigation was started. Pretty Sad if you ask me.

Those bitching about the racial divide constantly, need to look in the mirror to see what the cause is.

The findings were't reported with the same enthusiasm with which the accusations were reported.

False claims of racism? Get outta here...

The three stooges were up in arms and wishing for racism. The disappointment is evident.

The use of the gesture as a racist message originally started as a hoax, but has since been adopted in earnest by actual white supremacists and members of the so-called "alt-right. Per anti defamation league.

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

Wayne, if I were to fix this for you It would add that it was a hoax for a reason. It was to lay fake bait for Democrats and watch them run with it. Guess what? They took the bait,gut hooked they ran with this hoax.

Does this sound familiar Wayne?

The kids in our elementary school play this circle game all the time. They are constantly flashing the OK sign to each other. We better investigate.

Was there any evidence, other than the usual nonsensical shrieking from the snowflake social justice warriors, that this was ever anything but the circle game?

The left needs to take a big, deep breath, and mellow out. Aren't they all into pot and yoga and Feng Shui? It's not working...

it's a well-known racism symbol along with being the okay sign and part of the game. The administrator saw it so they decide to investigate.

No, knuckleheads saw it on TV and lost their friggin minds (par for the course) and then the administrator HAD to investigate it To shut them up.

If they didn’t, it would have been an endless stream of “This is Trumps America” from the same knuckle heads.

Money and time wasted to coddle stupidity.

not to mention baseless charges of racism in national tv, against some of the best kids in the country. Nothing is sacred.

Whether they saw it live or someone told him about it what difference does it make? None at all. If it wasn't a known symbol they wouldn't have investigated. Using your logic the Coast Guard shouldn't've investigated. They did investigate and they punished one of their Cadets for the same exact symbol.

Racism is bad. Turning sophomoric games into a national crisis is bad. This is a common occurrence for the left. I am sure they were ready to blame it all on Trump. Guys on this board( you know who you are) were so anxious to indict these young men that they had predicted expulsion from the service before ANY knew the facts. You can be sure as sugar that this would have been ALL Trump’s doing.

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?

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