I'm sure millions spotted him... so your standpoint is worthless.

1 Libtard made an issue of it because it's "RACIST"

Yes, as pointed out many times it's a symbol that's used by racists in a context of trolling liberals. Highly inappropriate in a professional environment on live TV. Hell even if it had been a covert black power symbol, it would have been inappropriate and subject to disciplinary action.

I'd also speculate that his colleagues would probably have already been aware of his political leanings, since in my experience it tends to be common knowledge with people like that.

Why not? If a black coastguard showed a sign for black power, would he/she be in trouble and lose their job?

I should hope so, i can guarantee there would definitely be outrage though.

Hmm. As it's just supposition, hard to prove either way.

I just have an issue when blacks are allowed to support black power openly; whites do the same and it's racist?

Link the evidence... give us the studies...

'As pointed out many times' - you repeating it doesn't make it fact. Your collective saying so doesn't make it fact. You taking offense to it doesn't make it fact. You 'feeling' it doesn't make it fact.

And who says it's only used by racists? Social media? SJW's?

The OK hand gesture is obviously not only used by racists, it's completely innocuous outside of the present, poisonous social media context. It has however been explicitly co-opted by racists, and there's plenty of documented evidence to show that.

Documented by whom? I'm guessing as a white person I am no longer able to use this sign now as you and others have decided it is racist?

No, I can't make it up. To me it's infantile behavior, but that's the alt-right for you. I did post the sources earlier, did you even bother to look?

In the one sentence you say it's a troll, the other you say racists have co-opted the use of the OK sign....

Well that's hypocrisy of course, racial nationalism is bad no matter the skin colour.

It's the same reason people would look you funny if you decided to celebrate Semana Santa in the US.
