US Coast Guard employee removed for 'white power sign' on air

[Grant]

There is an OK sign conspiracy unfortunately, that's not a made up thing. It's bizarre and pathetic, but it does exist.

I'm calling out their dog-whistle racism, nothing more. If I had workplace authority over them, at the very least I'd call them up for a disciplinary hearing. In the real world things have meaning and people aren't as stupid as you think we all are.

Well thank heavens you dont run a foundry or steel works, where the only method of communication is by hand gestures due to the noise.
Your entire workforce would have unsolicited disciplinary hearings against them.

and the loser sign? is that a secret liberal sign?

 

[Eniigma]

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.

At first I thought this was stupid to discuss, as I read more and more of this I'd swear I was reading the script for a Monty Python skit if it was 1976. Surely no-one can be that stupid...

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

You think she intentionally made the "Ok" sign the first time round?

Never mind. I take it all back. She was not trolling. Should have just watched the source video to start off with.

Is she an undercover racist?

 

[Temujin]

Oh, and posting a pic of the ahole milo to show 'racists' use it... does his SO know? better run off and tell him

 

[Pitbull]

Never mind. I take it all back.

Is she an undercover racist?

Going by the Libtard MSM yes!

 

[Eniigma]

@cerebus , @Unhappy438 I highly encourage you to start scuba diving.

I'll even pay, just please let me come along so I can watch the meltdown when your buddy signals ok.

I fully agree. The more you get into 4Chan alt-right culture, the more infantile and stupid it becomes. These are the same people who brought us Pepe the Frog and Kekistan. Do you think I enjoy trying to point out how the OK symbol now means white supremacy in certain circles, even though it has another ubiquitous, innocent meaning? It's this bizarro nightmare where the consequence of pointing out racism is to be called a tin-foil loon, which is exactly the intended aim of the trolls.

You think she intentionally made the "Ok" sign the first time round?

In for a penny, in for a pound... why not? Sure. Yes she knew what she was doing.

But why even try and differentiate between the two then? You only making life hard for yourself. Someone shows an OK signal. So what, how will that affect your life in any way, shape or form?

Give link to your supplement store... I'm in need of some that'll prevent moon nazi brain lasers

And no dude... there is no 'intended aim of the trolls'.... you're doing it all yourself, no help needed by anyone... eg. look at your last sentence "Yes she knew what she was doing".... its all you, no one else

It's all part of the zeitgeist.

One of the reasons the okay hand sign meme might have spread so far is the fact that white nationalism’s access to power in 2018 is not a completely made-up concern. White House officials keep getting connected to white nationalist people and organizations. A speechwriter for President Trump left the White House in August after CNN reportedthat the staffer attended a conference popular with white nationalists. And Trump adviser Larry Kudlow hosted a prominent publisher of white nationalists in his home, as The Post’s Robert Costa reported.

Never mind. I take it all back. She was not trolling. Should have just watched the source video to start off with.

Seems plausible in context. Could be that's what she meant. I certainly hope so.

What you on about? You are now saying you're a SJW because of the times we're living in?

I'm saying we're living in a time when crypto hand gestures are being used by people in power who also have strong links to white nationalism; when the president of the USA retweets videos and memes from the dregs of the racist internet; when fascists effectively weaponize trolling as a recruitment tool. Those are just the facts.

Again, not seeing how this affects: Me, you or any person of colour/race/creed anywhere on the planet

This in reference to the OK hand signal. A perception has been created with the liberals that it's racist (by the right) and you actually taking offence to the hand signal shows just how idiotic this whole issue is. You do see that right?

 

[Seriously]

Just eat the egg splashed all over your face man. LOL.
MAN UP!

We're living in a time when idiots manufacture outrage and see what they want to see like crypto hand gestures being used by people in power(caase in point, the video you posted), when people world wide retweet videos and memes from the dregs of the racist internet, when fascists/communists/socialists(all cut from the same cloth) effectively weaponize 'offense' as a recruitment tool. Those are just the facts.

How does it affect anyone? It doesn't, it's just inappropriate workplace etiquette.

I'm just trying to point out that it's a real thing. I'm not even remotely offended.

What do you mean? I'm quite relieved to see the wider context of the Zina Bash video to be honest.

Ok. I Give you the benefit of the doubt. Just now the tripartite ANC/EFF/BLF alliance together with the HRC judges run with this BS.
