weird way to crack your knuckles but...

"its scary that you can be charged tried and convicted on social media". You weren't. You were just fired because your company decided they didn't want you to work for them. you know what's scarier? being charged, tried and convicted to death by a cop....but for some reason conservatives act like the former is the bigger problem and the latter isn't a problem at all.

@TheVipaGTS

It's things like this that badly effect BLM, imo. If something happens to someone that is BS, you don't need nullify it by saying, yeah, but black people have it worse. Like, why? For sure it's bull shit that cops are killing people. I'll scream BLM until major changes come to America. But other people have shitty things happen to them as well, and it was the BLM, SJW people that did this to an innocent man.

You say, "You were just fired because your company decided they didn't want you to work for them." Yeah, because they were lied to about their employee. And those are the people that will get on social media and drag the company until they lose money. The people that do this are a bunch of fucking bullies, and to see you no issue with it kind of makes me sad.

Stop justifying ruining people's lives with lies and slander. And me saying that doesn't have anything to do with the BLM issue, cops are garbage and black people have always been a target for them. That is way worse than what happened to this guy, but it doesn't f'n negate something bad happened to him.

Its pretty common when youre cracking one at a time.

Put your index finger down and then put your thumb over it. And repeat with all fingers.

this is actually kinda scary, I crack my knuckles and throw up all types of signs out my window when Im driving listening to music.

Not that I think it's the case with this guy, I don't know much about this situation, but there are right-wing extremist groups that don't focus heavily on race, if at all (or at least claim that). There are groups, like certain sects of the "boogaloo boys," who are all kinds of races and ethnic groups, brought together by other issues like dislike of the government and "PC culture."

A big thing for them is just stirring shit up any way they can to make it seem like anyone who responds to them is overreacting, thus proving their point, and one of the great ways to do that is to have non-white people doing white supremacy shit. Again, not saying that's what happened here or what the guy was trying to do, but this situation plays right into what these groups go for.

That was like the whole point of the "okay" gesture thing in the beginning, to provide plausible deniability and create controversy when there was none so the people who knew what they were doing looked crazy.

the proud boys have two notable figures: tarrio (Afro-Cuban) and a dude they call tiny (Pacific Islander from American Samoa). Look at Tila Tequila too. Look at nick Fuentes (half Mexican), the woman who gave them OK sign for 2 days in a row during the kavanaugh hearing (Jewish-Mexican), Stephen Miller and Donny jrs girlfriend (Cuban)

of course you do. Youre setting yourself up with this one, hoping someone states the obvious so you can play victim, ask for your egg McMuffin, cry and mark the post. You enjoy the attention, Duncan style.

Actual white supremacists realized it gives them probable deniability to use the ok gesture as a signal while claiming ignorance when called out.

As the ADL stated, it needs to be measured up against other evidence. But it can be a legit white supremacist sign

The symbol had a longstanding meaning, yes but it was hijacked by white supremacists and other pieces of shit who rely on your exact attitude to carry out their agenda.

Rejecting "outrage culture" stopped being (if it ever was in the first place) a legitimate response to this when a white supremacist flashed the sign after murdering 51 innocent people. It is not inherently or exclusively a racist gesture but that has zero bearing on the reality that it is now one of its meanings.
