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.

it's all a grand conspiracy against white people.is that it? . nothing in a conservatives world can mean more than one thing..?

So the ok sign can't be used by white supremacists and still be used as intended as ok or (I am all right )


https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/...ght-wing-troll


Dismissing the spread of the hand signal as a hoax overlooks two hard realities: first, that its increasing use gives open license to actual racist ideologues to operate and recruit under the cover of the “plausible deniability” established by less ideological young trolls; and second, that any kind of wink-and-nudge interaction with the racist right is a direct route to its normalization.

sure they are. I've heard them used.

So you think things have changed and what may have been appropriate years ago may not be appropriate today?

John and TDF are not anyone's idea of hard-core right wingers. Yet they got frustrated at the knee jerk reaction of the left to label these kids racists, and then not apologize after they were exonerated.

The lefties here who are angry or don't get where John and TDF are coming from, you are a big part of why Trump is president. You just don't get it, and you have learned absolutely nothing from the 2016 election. CNN was merciless in branding these kids as white supremacists. You're all doing everything you can, to help Trump get re elected.

No, just a temper tantrum from the left in response to getting creamed in an election they thought was in the bag.

I'll tell the superintendant in my town that all the schools need to be investigated, because at every single bus stop, you'll see 8 year-olds playing the same exact circle game that these kids were playing. What deplorable racists.

1) Presumption of innocence.
2) The significant majority of people are not racists.
3) Why are you assisting a bunch of asshats in co-opting normal speech and symbology. You are doing their work for them. Eff 'em, I am reclaiming my OK sign.

Yes, it is the righties on this site who resort to childless insults and vile comments. Look at your typical post vs the typical "lefty" post and tell me who is the angry one here?

The admin. said they needed to look into the symbols and based on what the cadets said (that it was part of a game) didn't punish them. The CG had the same issue and determined the cadet in their case was using it as a racist symbol. It is not a knee jerk reaction to view a symbol that racists use as a racist symbol.

See - more insults from the right - and yet you claim the left is having a temper tantrum or is angry. You don't see those type of insults from the people on the left here.

Tell the super. that and come back and let us know what he says.

It was intended to be an insult - a very valid insult, with all kinds of evidence to back it up.

"you claim the left is having a temper tantrum"

I'm stating a fact. I'm not angry. Just stating a fact. I don't generally get angry when my opponents act in a way that increases my chances of winning. That makes me happy, not angry. Many, many times here you've accused me of being angry. It's a desperate hail mary on your part, when you can't refute what I'm saying, nor can you admit I have a point.

The super would laugh in my face. Good for him.

There's a time for genuine, principled outrage. When kids flashing the OK sign sends you all into a frothing fit, maybe ask why that is. Or keep doing it. It's working wonders, which explains why republicans haven't won any elections anywhere since the left began this tactic in the late 2000's. In response, naturally, to getting humiliated, that time by Bush.

CNN called them disturbing and hurtful.

If not everyone is racist, why do you assume we need to investigate when the kids did this at a football game, when everyone was in a good mood? There was no evidence it was anything resembling racism, except for (1) the OK sign, and (2) the willingness of snowflakes to go bonkers for no reason. That was enough.

If one of the white kids was caught on camera yelling "hey, n***er", right before flashing the sign, OK. But there was nothing to suggest it was anything other than what it turned out to be.

You don't think the left immediately convicts accused racists? Again, tell that to the Duke lacrosse players, god knows how many white cops convicted in the media, or that Sandman kid who be a zillionaire soon. How many examples would I have to cite, exactly, before you might say "you know what, maybe there IS a pattern here." How many? Because whatever the number is, I can cite that many. Al Sharpton made a career out of false racism accusations, and you can't run for POTUS as a democrat without getting on your knees and kissing his ring.

You can't say out loud that your side uses the race card repugnantly. Because liberals are never wrong.

I'm stating a fact. I'm not angry. You come across that way - constantly insulting people. Just stating a fact. I don't generally get angry when my opponents act in a way that increases my chances of winning. That makes me happy, not angry. Many, many times here you've accused me of being angry. It's a desperate hail mary on your part, when you can't refute what I'm saying, nor can you admit I have a point.

The super would laugh in my face. Good for him. Then why mention it when no one has EVER suggested that.

There's a time for genuine, principled outrage. When kids flashing the OK sign sends you all into a frothing fit, maybe ask why that is. Or keep doing it.

If the post below isn't considered angry, you need to get some help to determine what angry is.

vague insults from a little
twerp who can never criticize his own side or compliment the other side. bleating of the sheep XXXX, that’s 90% of what you do. what did i stay exactly, that was wrong?

from a guy who literally couldn’t bring himself
to showup here for weeks after the election

You can't say that. Because liberals are never wrong.
So why did the CG punish one of their cadets for doing the same thing?

Presumably because HE did it. That doesn't say anything about anyone else.

Good lord man, if a black guy kills someone in Chicago this weekend, does that mean every time someone is murdered, we investigate blacks first?

You're holding others responsible for the acts of someone else.

Paul, Al Sharpton literally made a career out of false claims of racism. And you can't run for POTUS as a democrat without getting on your knees and kissing his ring. Instead of hounding him from the public square, he is still enormously powerful on the left. Because dishonestly playing the race card is a major, major component of liberalism. Because it works. Who cares if innocent lives are ruined?

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.
