According to our political “betters” it is a secret sign for “white power”. I have never used the OK sign in my life but I might start if it will troll the libs.
Brawndo gots electrolytes. It’s what plants crave.

We’re doomed. Everyone walk around like robots not saying anything or moving our hands.
When I was a kid it meant “ok” ... to turn it into the sarcastic “ok, asshole” you’d stick your opposite hand’s index finger in it ...do it repeatedly and it meant “f u, asshole.” Oh, and squish the fingers into an oval it becomes the sign of the master race, a peacock. ;-)
Yeah, if you look at the photo he definitely wasn’t doing a standard OK. If you look at the still photo it looks like the guy’s fingers just felt that way on the girl’s shoulder. But there is a video out there that shows him making the symbol. It honestly looks like the guy was probably trying to play “made you look” with the pic. Poor guy had no idea he was going to be fired for white supremacy!

But it is an anti gang symbol to show black solidarity. How can it be racist?

Yeah, it definitely looks like he was doing “made you look “. I’m sure he thought it would be cute for the little girl to notice in the picture later. Poor SOB probably had no idea about the ADL or hate symbols or any of that crap. Probably didn’t know what hit him when they fired him. He probably didn’t even know how to defend himself since he never heard of any such nonsense. How many people have?
Check the article photo with the kid in front - he’s making the same gesture.
That is not the ok sign. It’s upside down representing a W for whitepower. Stop confusing the issue.
72 years old and never made an OK sign like that.
I scoffed till I watched the video... so I am guessing he knew how it would be interpreted and did it anyway whether to scoff at the idea that it is racist or he truly meant it as racist we will never know BUT it was purposeful and he took that chance doing it.
nothing’s wrong with it, other than it’s Western Culture. Southern Poverty Law Center has therefore decreed it a hate sign.
Although they’ve yet to declare any of a hundred gang-sign hand signals as ‘hate signs’.
Do you know what the “made you look “game is? Don’t you think that’s a more reasonable explanation? That the actor just thought it would be something cute to be discovered in the photo later?
Just about every guy at junior high school in the mid 60’s played that game.
Even so, still not appropriate.
I didn’t see that
