Looks like SOMEONE'S getting cancelled!

Racists have the swastika and the confederate flag. Nothing else should they be allowed to appropriate.

What next? The peace sign / V for Victory becomes a white supremacist symbol? How about yellow clothing or bandanas? If they try to take something, take it back from them. Don't let them take from you. Take from them. Push them back.

To this I say go Stephen Curry, go!

This is a bad look, just so ur aware. Makes you look like you are gaslighting for the sake of white supremicists.

Right Wingers adopted it as a White Power sign on the internet.

Liberals took the bait and went wild.

Some guy got banned from an arena for doing it in a photo.

It's crazy

"Let's pretend to be white supremicists, that's sure to chap their bottoms, ha ha ha ha."

Even if it were accurate it would still make you a piece of shit lol.

Conservatism is an ideology built on the notion that context doesn't exist.

It was never racist to begin with

Stop taking 4chan's bait, hook, line, and sinker.

Context is king

The vast majority of the time when someone flashes an okay sign it's normal.

When someone is using it as an identifying symbol it's pretty obvious

"Let's act racist and use a symbol to identify ourselves as racist to each other. It'll be such a great prank"

I don't get it lol

I think 4chan meme'd it to be a racist symbol on twitter to troll feminists until it actually got adopted as a racist symbol by real white supremacists.

So now we can't play the circle game anymore without being racist. smh

4chan baited major news sites into reporting on a hoax, further probing their lack of credibility, and then pics of alleged white supremacists got posted of them making the ok hand. Then others started getting in on it and memeing, so because the left ruins everything it was dubbed racist like Pepe and other shit

I still don't get this sort of argument. Some people actually do use it to be racist, and they're like "lol dumb liberals falling for memes!" but they're actually being racist. Sooooo....

The vast majority of people probably have no idea that it's used by racists to promote racism, but there's enough morons using it as a white power symbol to where it's not just a meme for lulz

Basically shut the fuck up and stop feigning ignorance

Not feigning ignorance, I'm calling a spade a spade.

Pizza is delicious, if a group of assholes decided eating pizza was now a statement of anti-Italian hate and racism, I would still eat Pizza and give those assholes the finger.

Don't give things up just become some people are idiots, how much power do you want to give them?

The amount of racist people who use the OK symbol as legitimate racism couldn't fill Lord's Cricket Ground.

If you ignore them, they go away. If you cower and give in to their bullshit, then they defeat you.

Ignoring dog whistles and racist symbols has never made them go away. No one is asking you to go out of your way to not use that particular hand gesture.
---

"It's all about context!" goes out the window when the context being observed is only "is the person doing it white?"

I never used it in the first place.

I'm just telling the truth that you're getting baited by trolls who have no power or influence beyond what you give them

And you're saying "Let's give the racist trolls as much power as humanly possible." that's dumb.

So your post is entirely much ado about nothing, got it.

I like how people keep bringing up the circle game, as if anyone gave a fuck about that.

4 square was where it was at!

(Also we played cops and robbers but still understand that pretending to have a gun is bad in certain scenarios.)
