I read the whole article before commenting. So now we are investigating white people for simply throwing the OK sign at a ball game?

WTF.

Only the ones who constantly look for racism in nothing.

This makes me laugh.
Its the sign for OKAY. pure and simple OKAY.
Only complete idiots would actually believe that one group can decide to change a centuries old hand gesture for OKAY into something racist. Only complete morons would fall for this leftist attempt at accusing everyone of being a racist who flashes the okay sign.

Its the international sign for OKAY....OKAY....OKAY

Have you heard about this new thing called the internet? About the new way the word "viral" is used?

But you're right. Law enforcement, the military, the Anti-Defamation League, all idiots. You know better than them.

Have you heard about this thing called “manufactured outrage?”

A troll says: “hey, let’s make the unhinged left believe something totally fake. Spread the word”.

Unhinged left: OMG YOU RACISTS!

Everyone else: HAHA fooled you it’s totally fake.

Unhinged left: WE JUST MADE IT REAL. RACISTS!!!

I was thinking wtf while reading the whole article. Thank you for providing a link btw. I’m a bit flabbergasted that the response is to empower these hate groups.

It’s really quite simple. The more fake outrage they can get the most ignorant of their base riled up about, the angrier and more unhinged they get as time goes on. (Case in point - ANTIFA)
Let’s not forget… There’s only one goal. One. And that is to remove President Trump and the GOP. They will manufacture any lie, they will cheat in every way, and they will do anything to achieve that goal. Even if it means creating more hate.

But in recent years, it (the OK sign) has also been appropriated for a more malign purpose — to signify “white power.” The gesture has become an extremist meme, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

OK, put the emojis down, you're looking like the person that you always criticize.

So are you claiming the Anti-Defamation League are all a bunch of idiots, who even though this is their line of work, even though they have been doing this forever, that they got this wrong? The FBI who also has a job to investigate hate groups (on the left and right), they are wrong? That the sign has not been appropriated?

lol, the proud boys arent a "white nationalist" group. I am not even some fan of theirs but this lie is constantly repeated and just proves to me that the MSM does no independent research. their sources are other biased "journalists" instead of the original source (proud boys). they say it on their main page that all races are welcome, they have members of all races and the founder isnt even married to a white woman and has biracial children. He has explicitly stated he is not a white nationalist.

btw, the 4chan hoax included convincing dumb asses that the O and K meant W, P for white power. that's the joke.

Proud Boys are white nationalists. Racists make exceptions for themselves all the time. They can write anything they want on their websites, they are being judged on their actions.

It’s kind of funny idiots at 4chan would come up with this and their fellow racists are like, hey! That’s actually a cool idea. We’ll take it. A lot of them now are quite open about it.

ok- WHAT ACTIONS? Anyone can make up any accusation based on your standards. the burden is on those making the accusations to support them.

again, which racists are using it? the new Zealand shooter flashed it to TROLL THE MEDIA. the same reason he said Candace Owens influenced him (shes black) and pew de pie, the most popular youtuber. Even evil killers like to f**k with people/play games for entertainment.

4chan trolls think its funny that all they have to do it start a rumor that something innocent is racist and hysterical activists will eat it up. they are controlling you for laughs and as a political strategy and you fall for it. the goal is to demonstrate how absurd the left's behavior is and its working.

So long as the left reacts to it, people will keep on using the ok sign to mess with you.
