Be careful, comrade, you when let everyone know all is OK. Or when you stretch your hand. Or flash your winnings. Because you are signaling (if you’re reading this aloud to someone, do so in a whisper) — you are signaling white supremacy. Yes, you. White. Supremacy. How, you ask? It happens when you touch your forefinger to your thumb to make what is commonly known as the “OK” sign. That’s what a 17-year-old Hamilton, Ontario, girl reportedly did in a picture she posted on social media when she was excited to get a high school co-op position at Juravinski Hospital. Trending: Rittenhouse Trial Judge After Jury Asks to See Videos: 'My Nightmare Has Come True' The hospital found out and allegedly fired her from her co-op placement. “It wasn’t meant to be racist and it wouldn’t happen again,” Megan Breeze told the Hamilton Spectator. “I just thought it means ‘OK.’ Like a thumbs up sign.” Hamilton Health Services said a community member noticed the photo and made a tip accusing Breeze of racism. “We informed the school board when we were made aware of the posts in early October,” HHS spokesperson Wendy Stewart. “As the pictures in the posts were taken at HHS sites, we acted decisively to emphasize that we expect all persons who come to our sites, regardless of whether they are an employee, patient, visitor or vendor to behave in a manner that ensures everyone at HHS feels respected, safe and welcome.” Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board spokesperson Shawn McKillop said the details were “confidential.” “A community member noticed an unacceptable symbol in a social media post and reported it to HWDSB and program partner, Hamilton Health Sciences,” McKillop said.

That’s legally-actionable libel. Especially because it’s KNOWINGLY a false, defamatory claim that the “OK” hand sign has anything whatsoever to do with “white supremacy.”

This was a 4chan troll years ago, so of course moron leftists fell for it. The ADL at the top of the list.

It has been used to persecute white people. Either 4chan people are idiots, or they want this to happen.

In Brazil, that hand sign means FU, not OK

Interesting tidbit. Learn local norms before vising foreign locale.

This where Xi rest his dangling exercise balls..

Now she needs to learn the universal ‘in distress’ hand sign.

The western world has gone fully leftist insane.

Last night I had the privilege of watching Geraldo on The Five talking out of both sides of his mouth about the Rittenhouse trial. He said that Rittenhouse should be found not guilty based on the evidence, but he believes that Rittenhouse is a white supremacist because there’s a picture of him making the OK sign. He acted as if he’d never seen or heard of the OK sign. When Gutfeld tore him a new one over it, all he had to say was ‘I hope you’re right.’

Geraldo is a 78-year-old American. He damn well knows the OK hand gesture. I had gained a tiny bit of respect for him because he doesn’t toe the leftist line 100 percent, but he lost that tiny bit when I saw him pretend to be that ignorant just to play the role of the wild-eyed leftist that’s required on The Five.

Martin Van Buren must be turning over in his grave.

It's just as well he's in his grave, though.

"Old Kinderhook" sounds like a pedophile alias nowadays.

She’s 17. What’s the voting age in Canada?

"Well, she was just 17 if you know what I mean" - h/t some guy named Paul

I guess my iPhone “okay” emoji is a white supremacist.

Ban number 9! Sign language is racist!

[joethedrummer]

“The sign means OKAY!“

Sometimes it just means - “O-TAY!”…. lol!

The OK hand signal is a 4 Chan hoax. And AOC did it a couple of days ago.

Wendy Stewart must be lynched..... as an example to others of her ilk

“Either 4chan people are idiots, or they want this to happen.”

As far as I can tell the though process was “The media is so dumb and woke I bet we could make them demonize anything”. It worked... to well.
