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.

you said it was good they investigated. So to you, merely making the ok sign, is probable cause of racism. Can’t have it both ways Paul.

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.

they were not using racist symbols.....if I flash you the peace sign and you get offended because you heard somewhere that some people might have used the peace sign to mean two middle fingers....it's not that I've insulted you it's that you are an idiot |

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

Yes what's the harm in asking what they meant by using a known racist sign? The Coast Guard had the same issue they asked and determined it was a racist sign and punished a Cadet in some way. Using your logic they would not have done anything and the racist would have continued to be able to make his racist sign. There's no equivalent to some 10 year olds making that sign and punching each other in the arm total false equivalency

you posted my response to your reply to my original post so it appears out of context. Sleazy.
A peace sign has no known racist connotations. That symbol does and if you don't know that you're an uneducated idiot

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.

There was in the CG case and the WP & NA. Admin. thought they needed to look into it.
You constantly get your panties in a bunch whenever anything is posted dealing with racism.

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?

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.

Paul and his like occasionally base their very existence as a platform for racism. They can find it anywhere and are only to anxious to accuse others of such. It seems like a desperate lifestyle to me. I hope next year that the world and Santa does not have to deal with these boys who cry wolf. Merry Christmas

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

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? |
