The whole world could spot him... nothing needs to happen. You and your fascist commi socialist collective want someone strung up cos you've taken 'offense' to something you were told and therefore assumed was offensive, and now even after seeing the facts, you still demand blood cos, in your words, 'its inappropriate'. Your collective will be so proud.

Really? Because it's exactly the dialogue that's unfolded on this thread.

No, that is the dialogue you want. It's not the dialogue.

More like:
Bored person: Let's troll a few people, let's tell them that the international sign for OK is a racist sign.
/Shares on 4chan
4chan distributes this and feeds it to the gullible

Libtards: THE OK SIGN IS A SIGN OF WHITE POWER!!!!
Normal people: :erm:
Libtards: It is, here, I have proof <inserts link to confirm it's a hoax>
Normal people: :erm:
Libtards: I am right you are wrong
Normal people: *points and laughs

Nope its quite obvious this guy wasnt ok signing an office mate whilst on a conference call because they asked him a question. Im pointing out he obviously is trolling whilst using the diving meme to try and ram it through your skull.

My skull?

Sorry you lost me, I don't need convincing it's not a racist sign... You are pretty confused it seems :D

Yes that, except then it started being used by real people in obvious trolling attempts - like Zina Bash, and this coastguard cretin. Once again, from the video it's more than clear that the gesture was intentional. And even if his intention was just "let's troll liberals by making them think I'm a white supremacist", is that any better?

So sure, it's just one enormous gaslighting troll; it doesn't mean it's not a real thing.

You're missing the point... this is how its playing out so far
a) Offensive taken cos we were told its offensive and therefore are offended
b) Here is evidence to show you why its not offensive and you have no need to be offended
c) Well, we're offended that we were offended... kill him
d) He did it to himself
and now
e) Look, heres evidence showing its racist
f) No, that shows its not racist
g) Well I'm still offended regardless of the facts, and will continue repeating that its racist cos the more I say it, the truer it becomes
to be continued...

Ah so they use symbols intended to make people think they're racists, but they aren't actually racists? Like, how is that any better?

I did read it. It's a meme that turned into a hoax that turned into a real thing when it started being used by alt-right figures like Cernovich and Milo.

It goes like this:

/Right-wing person A flashes the OK hand symbol on TV
/Left-wing person B says Hey that's a racist symbol, these days
/Right-wing person A says how dare you good sir I am outraged that you would defame my good name and take a perfectly harmless gesture and twist it don't you realize I'm 1/20th Cherokee etc etc
/Media outrage ensues
/Right-wing trolls react to media outrage by talking about how oppressive and hysterical the left-wing have become that they can even take something as innocent as an OK gesture and turn it into racism, they just see racism everywhere, see the left are the REAL oppressors of free speech.
/Right-wing person A is very happy.
Sounds a lot like the KFC gibberish to me. That's why I only buy Nanso's and prefer to refer to Nando's parties.
