We’re allowing the left change the meaning of symbols, colors, and words. There are lengthily lists of words to avoid, e.g., black, thug, niggardly. Why? Because ignorant people claimed to be offended.
What the coast guard guy did looked sort if like an okay sign. Maybe he was just scratching his ear. Maybe it was a white gang sign.
If blacks can make black gang signs, even while posing for pictures with Obama, why can’t whites make hand signals?

This guy is going to be rich.>which I hope is met with a lawsuit.<
Unfortunately there are very few circumstances where a service member can sue the military.

"What the coast guard guy did looked sort if like an okay sign. Maybe he was just scratching his ear. Maybe it was a white gang sign."
I thought he was scratching his ear; others thought he was adjusting his earpiece, which they said they could see in the video. Whatever he was doing, it was momentary, and he wasn't even looking at the camera, and probably didn't even know he was on camera, since he was sitting and the guy being interviewed was standing. I don't even think he was making an ok sign.
Since the Coast Guard is taking this trivial incident so seriously, they should check out if there's any evidence at all that the guy has a connection to any white supremacist group or any gang. (I doubt he has either sort of connection.) If he has no such connections, he should sue the Coast Guard for defamation, since - on the flimsiest evidence imaginable - they presumed him guilty of a racist act, and very publicly removed him from his position.

Really..doing the OK symbol is now racist..geez John Cena did it every time he appeared at a WWE event, so I guess he’s a double racist since he used both hands. How about those who use sign language, I guess they are racist too..seriously this country, there are too many idiots in it

I hope this is one of them. They basically publicly accused him of being a racist on the flimsiest evidence. Since he is not a public figure, I think a defamation lawsuit is not out of the question.

The far Left has lost its mind. This should be good for a few thousand votes if Pubbies want to play it right.

Yep, I agree. Glad my military ‘career’ ended by ‘mid-Carter’.
To: Drew68
That is utterly ridiculous. Worse, everyone just falls into line like Pavlov’s dog when the snowflakes start crying.
This country has gone mad.

The the Left acknowledges the highjacking of the OK gesture and then calls everyone using it a white supremacist.
