That gesture is always going to mean okay...nothing else....

:rolleyes: And the (Bellamy) stiff arm salute was used by American children in front of the flag until it meant something else.

You really enjoy showing just how utterly stupid you are. Did you even read the article I posted, or are you just too stupid to understand the big words like "the"?

"Reaction to the “OK” symbol hoax was so widespread in the spring and summer of 2017 that a number of people on the far right began deliberately to use the gesture—typically making the sign while posing for photographs uploaded to social media—in order to continue the trolling and spread it further.

Over the year and a half since the original hoax campaign began, ADL has tracked its usage by a variety of figures on the far right, including some well-known white supremacists, though it seems to be even more popular among the so-called alt lite. Use of the “OK” gesture has spread beyond the far right and can now also be found within the broad community of mainstream Donald Trump supporters—some of whom seem to have no idea of its origins."

Now, I do not know what part of the world you live in, however, in my part, the Northwest, "A-OK" was symbolized by either the thumb up (most common) sign, or the circled thumb with index finger, and the remaining three fingers slightly curved over the index to form a kind of "A".

Of course, your useful idiot friends would say anything if it could mean denigrating someone who disagrees with them.

Since I don't use social media, it is very possible that I am not up on every fad. I don't recall one thread started on JPP about this craze and I don't remember seeing news reports on PMSNBC. Again, those things do not mean it is not true.

The point is that you are either being played OR you are trying to conflate this into an effort to brand anyone you don't like a racist, white supremacist and bully them into bowing to your leftist bilge.

Unfortunately, being labeled a racist is a very powerful weapon of the left. It is why shit stains like blackasscancer (may he die soon) uses it so regularly. People will do anything to not be called a racist. Fortunately, I long since cared about what douchetips like you and blackasscancer call me.

I don't give a shit if some white supremacist group has claimed this symbol as their own. Does that mean we have to let them?

Spare me your faux indignation.

Did you notice that the thumb, and index, finger are not forming an "O", but rather a grasping indication?

Did you know that the hoax did not begin until 2017?

Of course not. Your just another whining right winger with more lies to tell then your lord and master.

Can you come up with a lamer excuse than it's not a perfect O, so it must mean something else? By you own admission this bullshit didn't start till last year! Isn't that interesting. Funny how you lefties can find the most innocent things to be offended about.
 
Common sense. Maybe a LOT of us are too old to take this seriously. For most of our lifetimes we have recognized this simple innocent gesture as "OK". And, that's how MOST people will continue to use this particular hand signal. We will refuse to have our every word and gesture co-opted as some new cryptic code that SOME warped-minded people use in a new pc culture. I might be able to make a reasonable connection of racism to this C.G. guy if someone produced a few screen shots of his alleged "white power" Twitter & FB posts. Thus far I haven't seen any. Are people who SPEAK or WRITE the term "OK" out loud now also going to be fired, mocked and ostracized as well? People need to lighten up and enjoy whatever time we all have in this life.

On the OTHER hand (no pun intended) there HAS been a hand signal out there which has ALWAYS had one singular message of division, segregation, hate and power and THAT hand signal looks like THIS...........

That fist in your post .. we didn't hide anything about what it meant, what it stood for. There was no ambiguity nor subterfuge about it.

There was a time when racists could wear their racism openly and overtly .. but these ain't (eb) those times.

Today, racists and racism have to hide in the shadows. They're forced to use code and gestures to mask who they are. When they're caught, they'll deny knowing what you're talking about .. because they are rejected people in today's society, and it's only going to get worse for them as the American population becomes more diverse.

That's what Trumpism is all about. It's not about trying to keep America safe. It's about trying to keep America white.

All this may be unknown to you, but that's OK .. we've got your back. :0)

Was that a black power fist at the end of Breakfast Club?

Neither do you. Since you don't use quotes we never know who you're replying to, we have to guess.

Never saw Breakfast Club. Was it? If so, were you offended?

Why would I be offended?

I looked it up, it's over 30 years old. You brought it up because of the clenched fist, why did you go back three decades to find that symbol?

So we're all even then. Blacks can keep their fists in the air and whiteys can evidently keep their OK's in the air. Everybody's happy. Have you addressed this OK issue in here anywhere in the last year and a half? Have you ever innocently used the OK sign? Or typed OK? Are you now going to bow down and obey the new retarded whitey pc rule and never say or write "OK" again?
