Is it just me or are some people getting a little too hung up on symbolism?

Laughable but epic bad timing for hair fashion, though. :)

This 👌 is racist? But having your pants down past your ass with your underwear showing is not! Hey, SJW, stop being offended by things that doesn't have anything to do with racism!!!

That is an accurate explanation of the use of the “OK sign” today.

And it explains perfectly why no one should jump to conclusions.

Here is another example of the Alinsky takeover of the narrative and manipulation of words and symbols.

The best response is not to react or defend.

Just calling the takeover STUPID, IGNORANT and to BE IGNORED

The only thing that works is to consistently and without let up, marginalize their damned lists.

Make the lists the butt of all jokes and point out that they are lies.

Do not ever engage in trying to PROVE that the leftists are wrong, instead diminish them and their importance in the narrative.

I will continue to use the Okay sign as long as I have fingers.

The ADL isn’t a serious organization and no one should really pay them any attention.

So, is the NFL and every other officiated game of football going to find way to skip 3rd down?

The “3 fingers” extended to indicate 3rd down is conventionally the last 3 fingers, not the middle 3.

Maybe cease all football for a season or two to re-educate refs at all levels of football on the right level of racial finger sensitivity.

And I won’t even mention the NASCAR 3 finger salute to former #3 Dale Earnhart, certainly those people have no role in a woke society and should just be summarily executed, they can’t be re-trained.

It isn’t just the ‘OK’ sign, the moonbats claim the ‘Sun with sunglasses’ emotion is also a white power symbol, which is pure horse$hit.

The ‘Sun with sunglasses’ is used on all the “Like a Boss” youtube clips, and those feature people of every color in the rainbow!

...members of the website 4chan...

Shows how much the Anti-Deformation League knows. 4chan doesn't have "members".

Everything in this country is a symbol of something. Nothing is just what it is. Everything “means” something. NO. Sometimes a red ribbon is just a red ribbon.

The kid who “shapes his fingers into a gun” is arrested and expelled from school for threatening. The pop tart is “chewed into a gun.”

Just a sign of the collective pathology that is sweeping the country.

ADL has now jumped the shark into irrelevancy. This is more of an attempt to garner attention as the only remaining racists are all leftists. Now they could accuse anyone.

They can all burn for all I care.

The “okay” gesture hoax was merely the latest in a series of similar 4chan hoaxes using various innocuous symbols; in each case, the hoaxers hoped that the media and liberals would overreact by condemning a common image as white supremacist.

And the 4chans were right. It’s insanely easy to get libs to buy into a hoax; the more outrageous the better. Like the MSM gravely reporting on a green cartoon frog named “Pepe” being some symbol of hate. The Left are so consumed with hate they can’t see they’re being pranked.

“Everything you know is wrong” is the first brainwashing step.

All part of the demonization of whites. Little by little and people are terrified of “being offensive”. Not us, but a great many are.
