Here ya go Nully.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Jasper’s mayor is a freaking moron.
First Doug Jones; now this in Jasper. Is AL lost?
Consequential Outrage - The #1 minority privilege.
If you stand with your hands at your sides, there is a natural tendency for your thumb and forefinger to come together and form a circle.
Mayor needs to catch hell for this. Absurd!
I have been a white man for 61 years now, and I have never heard of the “OK sign” having anything to do with anything racial. Yes, I’ve heard of the circle game, and I know the gesture is considered obscene in some Latin American countries. Frankly, I would not accept this without a fight. Trump makes that gesture almost automatically. It isn’t racist. We mustn’t lose control of the language.
Before I saw the photo, I was incensed, but that is definitely not an “ok” sign, which is always used chest level or above, and is NOT used upside down. I don’t know anything about some stupid game, but why would grown men be playing a stupid game like that? I don’t know if they meant it to be a white power sign, but something’s not right.
The rest of the police force should walk out until those four are re-instated.
The “OK” signal is older than me (72), and having been white all my life, I’ve NEVER heard that it means anything other than “OK”.
It’s quite a stretch to say it looks like “WP”...especially the “P” part.
The mayor should have told them that it means “OK”, and that’s it.
Just because the tribal bunch makes up these things doesn’t make it apply to anyone else.
Now, they’ll find something wrong with everything white officers do, or say.
They love making us crackers dance to their tune.
The f*ckheads turned a normal sign into a reason to fire a White. Doesn’t matter if the White means ok by it. He’s White.
Hate crime laws were created to criminalize anything a White says or does.
Oh, for the Sake of Pete.
The city's mayor should be watched, he is the problem, not the police.
