Former TV host Montel Williams, a US Naval Academy graduate, called for the public's patience amid the US Army and Navy's investigations into the alleged use of white supremacist gestures from its cadets and midshipmen during the annual Army-Navy football game.
"Both West Point and Annapolis are investigating, and it strikes me as defamatory that some in the media have branded these young people as racists without a shred of evidence," Williams said in a statement on Monday.
"I understand that a handful of racists (perhaps living in their parents' basements) attempted to co-opt the 'okay' sign as a symbol of white power ... but that is not evidence that these kids were motivated by racial animus."
"We owe these young people, who had the courage to sign up to be part of the 1% who defend this democracy, better than this," Williams added.
Some people accused the service members as being sympathetic to the pervasive white supremacist movement; while others attributed the gesture to a childish game from immature troops.

EVERY time there’s a stupid reaction like this, it simply further cements the novel, insurgent aspect of making the OKAY sign:
It ENHANCES the appeal, strongly encourages it.
And I’m happy for it.
**WE** ARE THE COUNTERCULTURE.
Where is the media outrage over all of the politicians and celebrities using the okay hand sign, even recently?
supposedly some idiot started a hoax claiming that holding 3 consecutive finger up to look like a “W” was a racist white supremacy sign and the msm bought it hook line and sinker-
It just goes to show how many idiot officers there are at West Point and Annapolis that they would actually waste time and besmirch these young men over a harmless gesture!
You think this would have ever come up, had Trump not attended the game?
Yeah, me neither.
I thought it meant “A$$HOLE” in most South American countries.
One of the photos showed several black cadets also flashing the sign. Pure bull crap.
They were so pissed that Trump got a lot of respect, and the game went off without a hitch. It was just too positive for them. They had to turn everyone into a White Racist to destroy the good vibes for Trump and the nation.
These people are pure evil.
White Liberal "Elites" who murder conservative children signal each other by scratching their heads. Look for the signals... it could save your child's life...
(very similar to the OK sign the Southern Poverty Law Center has identified as outing 'white supremacists' - except head scratches 'out' liberal elite killers) ----- Watch for it - stay safe.)/s
True enough!
It does. And the phrase guaranteed to start a fight in Brazil is "Puta que te parillo" (the whore who gave birth to you). But signing "OK" will do the same in most parts south of the Canal. It's amazing what you can learn when you travel.
Our answer?

At least Montel is a liberal who isn’t afraid to call them out when they are wrong.
Note the date of the post.
Same place as the origin of the "It's OK to be white" troll. Which also worked fantastically.
The people going bonkers over this are very much over the top SJW morons, and this should be pointed out to them in no uncertain terms.
No supposedly about it. See my previous.
Now there are two: Montel Williams and Jonathan Turley...
Liberals are still being triggered by a 4chan hoax. LOLOL
I think I’ll call the trigtards from now on. :)
call them
Huh - I read it as ‘Women Power’.
