Pepe hand symbol is hate speech bro get used to it. The creator disowned him and said as much.

If it's just an OK sign sure it's different.

I thought it was bull shit when I saw the picture. "It's just sometime resting his head on my hand. . .", but then I saw the video and he clearly meant to do that. I think it's mostly a troll job, but he did do it on purpose.

This is something I didn't even know about....the okay signal is racist now? I've been known to flash that sign every now and then, and learning that I could have lost my fucking job because of that? God society has just turned into a complete pile of fucking trash. What a sick place we live in these days.

How dumb do you have to be to not realize the difference in intent between some person making an ok sign to someone else and someone subtly making one behind their ear on camera? It's about context. Do you also not know the difference in intent between a swastika on a Buddhist temple and one spray painted on the side of a building?

No dumber than the people that take Twitter comments from random people who might be 14 edgelords and claim that they're proof that hate speech is still alive and well. It is, but not because of stupid comments on Twitter.

Same with this guy, he was just trolling people, yet now people will say all sorts of things about him. I bet there are already trolls on the other side calming he's a literal Nazi and spin this into a another "fuck white people day", but those people are always mindless trolls that have no merit in society. But those are the people a lot of you listen to

Social Media has killed this Country

There's plenty of people that are that dumb and would totally "take offense" to it.

Which is why he deserved to be pulled from hurricane duty. It was a douchebag move that he knew would "trigger the libs", which most definitely reflects negatively on the organization. Fair, next.

anybody doing something like this for the purpose of "triggering" somebody is already a candidate for qualifying as a bad person, lol.

if you make decisions that alter lives with the intent of triggering people, you're definitely a bad person. even bad people have good qualities, but you're still shitty.

There's no proof that by pulling this dumbass they put more people in danger. In fact you'd have to be pretty stupid to think they don't have other people who can do his job just as efficiently who won't troll on live television during a life threatening event.

Yeah. Plus modern white nationalists have a tendency to hide behind innocuous symbols to cause confusion. It's similar to how terrorists will set up in hospitals/schools to shield themselves.

"It's okay to be white" comes to mind


"It's okay to be white" is an innocuous phrase. People literally have no control what color of skin they are born with. There is nothing wrong with such a simple statement.

Anyone responding negatively to such a simple truth is a bigot and a racist, and the backlash and people who became indignant to such a simple phrase were exposed for the racists they truly are and revealed their true feelings and beliefs on the matter, that no, it's not okay to be white according to them...

BLM squandered their message by not having a cohesive message and by having a splintered leadership across multiple chapters where their leaders range from sensible to being blatantly racist.

I question if any grassroots movement can survive modern social media. It's too easy for anyone to say anything as "part of the movement" while everyone and their mom claws at the faint traces of power that form as soon as the movement gets any sort of traction. And this is before the intersectionalists come in to argue that your movement is actually their movement and you just didn't realize it.

their message was pretty clear. it was distorted by the same crowd who distorted Colin Kaepernick's message.

"only Black lives matter? das racist!"
"we didn't say that."

That's not where the phrase originated. It was started by online trolls, and regressive racists exposed themselves with vitriolic overreactions.

The message itself is innocuous, regardless of the messenger.

The phrase "it's okay to be white" is harmless and should not induce hatred or negative reactions.

remember when Donald Trump announcing his run was just a joke to many?

then remember when his approval ratings were better than the other 'Pubs? so many wanted to "shake things up." I think that was the phrase. all jokes and trolling.

then he became the nominee.

there's not as much laughter as before. still it goes to show how far people will go to give the benefit of the doubt to something just to ease their own mind.
