Well, well, well.....After investigation and interviews it has been determined the gestures were NOT racially motivated but part of the “circle game.”
An investigation into accusations that students at last week's Army-Navy football game made white supremacist gestures determined that the students were playing a game and had no racist intentions, according to officials at West Point.

Don't worry. The left will conjure up some more nonsense in the attempt to push their narrative that all straight white men are terrorists.

I thought that is what they were doing. People here said that no one does it anymore. Which was news to me since I work with teens every now and then.

Hate is NOT alive and well in our young military and shame on those who judge and persecute them wrongly. These young men are heroes.

"Still, "we are disappointed by the immature behavior of the cadets," said Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams, 60th superintendent, U.S. Military Academy. The cadets will be disciplined, according to the statement."

"We must be mindful of behavior which brings that trust into question and ensure our actions meet the high ethical and professional standards our nation expects the American Soldier to uphold," Chief of Staff of the Army, Gen. James C. McConville said."

If that was one of mine, I'd slap a knot on his head.

It was a very immature thing to do but it was not what they were accused of doing.

Generalizing on the part of anyone never works.

You'd be perfectly fine with your West Point cadet acting like a disrespectful fool?

So what’s the final answer?
Did they or didn’t they use a white supremacy symbol???
The military really isn’t bigoted- at least when we were a military family for 21 years we knew a bunch of good people in the USA and Europe. Good people of different races and nationalities who all worked together and cared.
This seems to be an overreaction.
