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 had no idea that that hand signal meant anything. If you are not WOKE, how do you know these things? I bet most people don’t pay any attention either. How do you avoid making an accidental Felony Hand Gesture? I think these WOKEists should get the one hand gesture I do know!
ALL THOSE LIBERAL HOST ARE RACIST! DR OZ, KATIE CURIC, ANDERSON COOPER just finished his 2 weeks up.
The only hand signals I know of is the Bird and Black Power fist.
The OK hand gesture, too. But, it depends on viewing angle.
From one direction it looks like w p = white power.
But, from the other direction, it looks like q w = queer woman.
It was a hoax the anons at 4chan /pol came up with to troll the media, and it worked spectacularly. This whole idea came about because of an organized 4chan troll.

Those people are sick.

When obama made the one finger pointing up muslim hand sign, it was ignored. (google has scrubbed the pictures that I saw, very clearly).
The same symbol has been turned into a lie, and a way of trapping innocent people.
The problem is that so many pick up the lie and broadcast it until it is actually believed by many. Mass hysteria actually works.
Jeopardy is now dead to me.
Buckwheat was a white supremacist? Who wouldda thunk it!
you dont want to know what Stymie was up to...
LOL.... Just what I was thinking.

Spineless, pandering asses.
That show was comedy gold.
Not too long ago I watched NBA basketball.
After hitting a three point basket, the shooter would run back, arms raised, with the same three fingers raised from both hands.
It was a thing.
And the fans cheered
Yep. We flash those “dog whistle” hand signals all the time to each other.
Shame we were caught.
Last year, a truck driver was fired for inadvertently making the “white power” hand gesture—even though he is Mexican-American and had never heard that it supposedly means “white power.”
Arron Rogers was the best by far.
