The video game industry is taking racism VERY seriously, especially game developers like Infinity Ward, who have removed the “OK” hand gesture from Call of Duty’s in-game animations because of its associations with “white supremacy.”
Over the weekend, video game and media outlet Gamespot reported that Infinity Ward, game developer behind the mega-popular “Call of Duty” franchise, had announced that they would be removing the “OK” sign from its latest game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Even though the gesture has been used by humans for decades to indicate that things are good or, in effect, “A-OK,” the developer claimed that its recently-acquired racial symbolism requires its removal.

Since the average life expectancy was around 40 when the Constitution was ratified, we need a new amendment to take this into account and change the voting age to 25, matching the minimum age for a Representative.
I have remind myself to start using th okay sign more often. By the way, we shouldn’t be high fiving, that’s a Negroe thing. I was taught that when I was a child. It’s very unsportsmanlike. In retrospect, it was the beginning of the end in sportsmanship in professional sports like the Negroe Football League, and Negroe Basketball Association.
If you do the sign with your right hand, It’s “White Power”...If you use your left hand, it’s “Privileged White”...
You lose either way...SMH!!!
They got punked by alt-right four-chan folks who made up the “racist signal” as a satire and joke.
You can’t fix stupid!
Fell for a 4chan troll. SMH.
Are they schizophrenic?
How can they call a racist victory ‘racism defeated’??
How in the world do they come off calling the ok sign racist? are they out of their minds?
“All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” :(
If you nod your head, that is the “welcome to Whitopia” greeting. ;-)
(Watch—a year from now the crazies will be claiming nodding is racist...)
But is ‘waving’ still okay? LOL!
I hope white supremacists start drinking Pabst, Starbucks and start shopping at Whole Foods.
Remember the Ballantine 3 Ring sign? That sign means zero - worthless in Europe, and anal exit passageway in Latin America.
A symbol has no inherent meaning. It has a conventional meaning that is agreed upon by all people within one specific culture, and possibly has a different meaning, or no meaning at all, in another culture.
Just wait until they outlaw smiling.
Fixed it.
It’s Okay to be White.
Can’t tell if you’re masked up. LOL!
Yeah!!!
Nodding your head is “YES, White Power!!!”
Shaking your head is “NO, Black Power!!!”
