Typical of the lib, falsely accuse.

When proven false, clam up, no apology necessary.

The fact that this was a thing shows the state of our nation. Where was all this outrage last year for the group of cadets posing with the black power fist?

“Immature” behavior by the cadets. Critics? The superintendent threw them a bone. Always happens when it’s one or the other. Acknowledge the criticism even when it’s unwarranted.

There is no “white power” hand signals.

Just another case of there not being enough racism to fill the demand of the perpetually enraged SJW mobs.

That the hand gesture that has always meant “OK” is now a “white power” signal is the invention of a troll on 4chan, meant as a joke.

The deranged lunatics took it seriously and now they demand these young men pay the price for the SJW stupidity.

“The fact that this was a thing shows the state of our nation.”

Sad, but true.

I want to say that “they” (not sure of “their” orientation /s), KNEW it wasn’t a “white power” symbol, but in today’s climate, I’m rethinking things.

All real Americans (meaning everyone except the globalist left) were outraged.

The "Okay" gesture is okay and has nothing to do with racism. The black power fist and open support of communism or other forms of treason are definitely not okay.

“”However, we are disappointed by the immature behavior of the two Fourth Class Midshipmen, and their actions will be appropriately addressed,” Naval Academy Superintendent Vice Adm. Sean Buck said. West Point reached a similar conclusion.””

“”Last Saturday we had reason to believe these actions were an innocent game and not linked to extremism, but we must take allegations such as these very seriously,” Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams, West Point superintendent, expressed in a statement. “We are disappointed by the immature behavior of the cadets.””

Maybe it’s too early in the a.m., for me to get this story but isn’t it saying two different things? It was just a game, nothing to get excited about and both academies agree to that and yet there was immature behavior and that needs to be taken seriously.

I’m so tired of reading news releases that need a day to figure out what the devil they mean. It was bad or it wasn’t bad...

Once upon a time unicorns and rainbows were just children’s pictures. Now they are copyrighted for the Feminists and qwertys. It happens with all popular and widely used decorations and gestures. Waving “Hi” will at some point be declared a White Supremacist or Gynephobic symbol and punished as such.

I will continue to use the A-OK sign that I’ve been using for decades. Piss on anyone who says differently.

The news report indicate that the gesture was not the OK sign but rather the circle game.

My question is....... what is the circle game?

They are in a protected class. Remember, only whites can be racist. /S

If a white person moves their hands at all that is a “white power” signal.

White people must bend the knee and stay perfectly still at all times.
