Good, I'll have to make sure I do it at every opportunity. F*****g whiners, quite frankly I'm tired of it. Grow a pair and quit being so damned thin-skinned. I REFUSE to allow the debate to be framed by friggin' crybabies.

I keep hearing these stories, but I have no idea about how, or by what group/individual, this hand gesture was adopted as a "white power" symbol. I hope somebody posts an answer to that. I wonder if this "white power hand sign" is some BS story that a snowflake came up with, and now the media is just going with it.

Not that I give a damn, I'm just curious.

Manufactured outraged.

"The Anti-Defamation League previously noted that the “OK” gesture isn’t a hate symbol. “Has the simple thumb-and-forefinger ‘OK’ hand gesture become a white supremacist hand sign? Well, no, it hasn’t, but you are likely to hear just the opposite from social media, thanks to the latest hoax from members of notorious website 4chan,” read a post from the anti-racism group."

I guess all divers, regardless of race, are white supremacists.

Its not, no one thinks it is... people just scream “racist” at random stuff to either try to get it to stick, or as a meme and people take it serious.

Good info here. I was all confused. Now it makes sense. Hyper sensitive politically correct all inclusive feel goods got pranked by 4chan.

Guys on 4chan literally made it up as a prank and started spreading it around. The media is just dumb enough to pick it up and run with it.

Because so many idiots WANT it to be true.
