Despite the man’s obvious innocence, the woke mob turned on him with a vengeful fury.
Kelly Donohue thought that life was wonderful. He’d won not once, not twice, but three times on Jeopardy!. Perhaps for his family’s benefit, or maybe just to boast, with each win, he’d flash a small hand signal showing the number of wins he’d had. Little did he know, but that third victory signal is allegedly a hand symbol that White supremacists flash to each other. Even though he obviously acted innocently, the vicious woke mob took his victory and turned it into ashes.
You must see the video to understand the kerfuffle: (video at link)
Donohue was boasting a little bit. The fact that it was entirely innocent is demonstrated by the fact that, on preceding shows, he’d made a similar hand-to-the-chest gesture highlighting the number of wins he had under his belt. Using screengrabs from Jeopardy!, the Daily Mail put together a montage of Donohue’s hand gestures over the course of three days:

(SNIP)
Nevertheless, the woke tyrants swung into action. You can see some examples here. Additionally, because virtue signaling requires people constantly to up the “woke ante” to prove that they are pure – just as North Koreans had to outdo each other crying at Kim Jong-Il’s funeral – 450 former Jeopardy! Contestants piled onto the hapless Donohue.

I couldn’t believe there was anyone who was convinced Obama was a Christian.
Yet I saw people who did. “Prophecy watchers” too - oh they got rid of me over him. Completely-fine by me. They can have him. All of him.
I had no idea that that hand signal meant anything.
Ken was annoying with his whiney voice.
She was unwatchable.
They will probably hire a black permanent male host.
Don't use Google. You can still find many using DuckDuckGo

Juan Williams.
Strange that there are conspiracy theorists who believe that hand signal is some sort of Masonic or occult gesture. What William Buckley called the “fever swamps” and cancel culture agree on something!
No way. Maybe Lavor Burton or the black guy from 60 minutes.
I must have missed the secret meeting of white people where we were taught our secret hand signals.
I suspect the left will invent the theory that the next white supremacy action is breathing. We must stop!
Bill Whitaker. Sorry I forgot his name.
I missed that one.
I heard about this on the Gutfeld show.
These people are clearly looking for problems where none exists.
I think the white supremacy thing will eventually be like the boy who cried wolf.
At some point their anger will become background noise. No one is going to listen to them.
I missed it too!
They should at least send white newborns home with a pamphlet of some sort.
How else are we supposed to know?
Oh dear Lord...Juan Williams? Cannot stand him on The Five. He seems like a good man and grandfather, but he looks mystified by his coworkers’ comments.
I even called Fox to complain about it. LOL!!!
The left can say that, but I don't have to accept their premise. I say it is not a signal of anything except maybe for OK.
Terrible choice.
