This is a distraction. Someone announces this great offense. It puts you on the defensive. The subject is now the distraction. It keeps the idea of widespread (but secret) white supremacy in the “news”.

My Iphone has the OK sign in multiple shades including black. I guess this will be removed on the next update.

The U.S. Coast Guard says it removed a member from its Hurricane Florence response team Friday after he made an OK hand gesture on live TV that the service branch deemed offensive.This guy is going to be rich.
The lawsuits will be slam-dunks.

it has also been commonly used by many Trump supporters. It has been? I guess I didn't get the memo about using it.

This is Kafkaesque, i.e., in Kafka's book "The Trial," a man is arrested but is not told why he is being arrested or who ordered him to be arrested. The Coast Guard guy probably has no idea what he did that was deemed offensive. It looked like he was scratching his ear or adjusting his earpiece; he wasn't even looking at the camera.

I seem to remember the Pueblo crew pictured flipping the bird while being interviewed and photographed while in North Korean ‘custody’.
THEY had convinced the NORKs that it was actually the Hawaiian Peace Symbol (which should have told us quite a bit about the intelligence of the NORKs)
Naturally when the WILLING PRESS was praising the Sailors for their adeptness of sending a ‘good’ message, they revealed its origins and SOMEONE informed the NORKs what was going on.
Needless to say things were a little ‘unpleasant’ for the Pueblo Crew members for a while there.

This isn’t satire? President needs to defend this young man against the brainwashed hysterics and their puppetmasters.

You can still go to the store and buy Aunt Jemima pancake mix, but if you mention the name Aunt Jemima on Breitbart, your post will be deleted. The PC disease is spreading.
To: Steve_Seattle
It is indeed. Think of the impact it has on the force. The message that Coasties received is that one insignificant misstep will ruin their careers. Who wants to work in that kind of environment?
To: The Westerner
The only thing worse than the left’s choreographed hysterics over this “gesture” is the Coast Guard’s cowardly response, which I hope is met with a lawsuit.

BINGO!!!!!!
AND SINCE WHEN THE HE!! DOES social media RUN THE USCG ?????
THIS IS BEYOND STUPID!!!!

Yes it does! Watch....since its now been deemed offensive to the lefties and a white power sign, theyll remove it from the emoji lineup soon. But the eff-you finger will still be there!
What I wanna know is if we now have a white power sign, when do we get uniforms?
