Im sure you would have been called all sorts of things if you tried to stop white power movements 100 years ago, doesn't mean much really.

Oh really? Guess you haven't seen that (white) racism in SA can land you in jail...

Shame, just wipe that blood of your nose. It's not that bad. You and I have been having that discussion already from post 185... I think we can all see who the thick on in here is can't we Unhappy438?

Yeah, trying to stop slavery would have done the same. Doesn't mean we should have made slavery universal, that's not how you achieve progress.

Are you white? Are you going to stand up and shout that the black movements in this country are racist and should be stopped?

Oh ffs, 13 pages on a dude showing the OK sign

People see a camera and do stupid things, photo bomb, wave, make rude signs, do all sorts of ****.

But wait this 2018, someone has to be offended by something, twitards or running out of stuff to bitch about.

Zina Bash was unfairly attacked for her hand gesture as per the photo you posted.

How generous you are to take her at her word. Because like... undercover racists will always own up to being racists.

She then went on to troll the media because of the unfair and unrelenting attacks. She is making fun of the entire incident, because it's not a real thing.

So, first time - not deliberate. Second time - deliberate, but she's 'trolling'. Only she's not trolling the way 4Chan thinks, she's trolling us because we think she's racist so she's showing us that she's just a troll. Lovely. Here you go leftists, you like some OK signs? Have some more. Not that I'm a real actual racist, I just love making hand signs. Don't go making issues out of non-issues now.

What is funny is that a troll's greatest weapon lies in weaponising anger. Being offended by such silly signs is what they want. If this offends you, what won't you be offended by?

Anyone is allowed to be a troll, but the whole point of this OP is the unprofessionalism of doing it on live TV at your work.

If you have zero proof to convict a murderer would a confession be enough to put them in jail?

If you have no proof to convict a murderer and they don't confess, would you be able to get a conviction?

You are reaching and it's hilarious? We're now not to take people's word for what their actions are and are not intended to be? You have proof she did it to be racist?

Who's saying anything about putting people in jail or convicting them of murder? You're the one reaching here. She made exactly the same symbol twice in a very deliberate way. We can debate her intention, but it's highly unlikely that she had no intention to convey a meaning.

Same thing applies.

Unless you have proof that she is a racist, your assessment is what exactly? Who are you and I to say what she wanted and didn't want to do? You don't see an issue with this view of yours?

I'll win him in a dick measuring contest any day. I'm 100% convinced of that :D
LOL. Why wife is looking at me strangely wondering why I cry and laugh at the same time. She thought something serious maybe happened.

I'm not at all sure what Zina Bash's beliefs are, or this coastguard. It could be anywhere from vague, anti-left wing trolling, to full on fascism. It certainly isn't innocuous, it is signaling, and it is not appropriate at work. For the 100th time.
