High School Spends $53,000 To Reprint Yearbooks After Students Flash Racist Symbol

More about the 'OK symbol'. Was he school's response appropriate? Or was it just another example of political correctness run amok?

 

The "OK" hand sign is a white supremacist signal??? WHO KNEW?? -other than Trump I mean. Ya learn something new every day.

 

The power of 4/8chan shitposters lol

They're literally the reason Hillary was talking about insidious frog memes like a crackpot during the 2016 election.

They have a couple new projects underway.

 

This is insane! Just shows how stupid left has become.

 

Only took 1 post for the first violent leftist to defer to Trump is desperation.


Literally NO ONE called "circle game" racist until it happened at the Cubs game. Now, all of the violent leftists are long time experts on this.

 

I did not know this, as a scuba diver we use this to mean everything is A ok, sad that racist are ruining this, guess need to make sure we keep all are finger tightly together not to be mistaken for the racist hand symbol

this is a symbol that has mean "A OK" for years and years...

crazy, sometimes I think people just make stuff up, then everyone believes it, then it become true to many and no one can do it anymore

 

These schools are microcosms of everything those on the far social progressive side would do if they had their way.

Spend money with reckless abandon to solve something that could maybe potentially be offensive.

This type of thinking is not an isolated occurrence at these schools.

 

I hope the school actually suspected something and did not remove a harmless photo for no real reason, but you never know these days

and schools are not liberal, in fact Texas writes most of the textbooks

 

It's fine. Chicago has tons of money to waste.

 

You ever been to Austin?

 

This is ridiculous. This is exactly why it doesn't help to censor and ignore radicals. If you had read the 4 chan post originating this hoax you would know that they are actively trying to coopt popular signs like the OK symbol which means good/ok, as well as being the mechanism for the "made you look" punching game.

When ordinary people use these symbols innocently and are called Nazis this is meant to drive them to the far right.

This culture of censorship gives these radicals massive power. If they want to stop the races shaking hands all they have to do is brand the handshake as a tool of white supremacy.

They are using the paranoia of the left to turn them into unconscious tools for the far right.

 

Nazis did the same thing - took the Jainist Swaztika from literally the most pacifist, anti-war people on the face of the Earth and appropriated it for their means.

That a Jainist might display a Swaztika is no reason to think they support Nazis in the same way a kid playing the "made you look" game or saying OK is no reason to think they support the alt-right.

 

and the kkk and the burning cross, no more could Christians have a camp outing with a burning cross

 

It's a well known fake by 4 chan to get the media to accuse "normies" of white supremacy.

 

Trump use the ok symbol all the time.... though I doubt it has any racist connotations, I think he did it long before this new idea of it meaning this came along as have many people

it's like tea bags, no one had ever heard of the meaning, someone made it up on the urban dictionary and it took a life of it's own and you never saw the tea party supporters wearing hats with tea bags again

 

It's like that "its okay to be white" thing. Everyone agrees with the statement, by associating it with the alt-right they plan to nudge people out of the mainstream.

 

have to be careful on that one... that shoudl never be associated with evil, same as "black lives mater"

those kinda things happened to the Jews when it no longer was ok to be Jews, did not turn out well, it divided people and people saw them as less then human

when people say "its okay to be white" people should shrug and say ok, I agree with that

when people say "its okay to be black" people should shrug and say ok, I agree with that

when people say "black lives mater" people should shrug and say ok, I agree with that

when people say "All lives mater" people should shrug and say ok, I agree with that

when people say "Blue lives mater" people should shrug and say ok, I agree with that


having black parent teach there children to fear white people is wrong
having white parents teach their children to fear black people is wrong

they may mean well in some ways, may of had a bad experience when young with the other race and want to protect their chidlren, but when enough people think this, it's not gonna end well

 

I would add the war on drugs and alchol as an example, many are raised to this cops are only there to stop you from having fun and will punish you harshly..... this taints peoples view of cops, so while some fear may be justified, fearing all cops is not something we want to teach our children either as then they may not respect authority and think all laws can be broken if not caught be the evil cops

a smart man once said

"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this."
- Albert Einstein quote on Hemp"

 

The left sees racism everywhere.

If I wave good-bye to my son at the airport, someone is going to get a photo and claim it's a new racist symbol.

The left is psychotic.

 

It's a troll. It's like milk being racist or cartoon frogs. Any meme that catches on in the counter culture is automatically dubbed racist. Some idiots were trying to say maga hats were racist. It's just autistic screeching.

 

Exactly. You can also look at the Swedish government trying to ban Viking runes and symbols in general because Nazis use some of them.

The right response is for EVERYBODY to use those symbols. It forces the only reasonable position. You don't censor anyone for any reason, and you don't judge whether someone is racist or not based on them making OK signs.

 

Yes, political correctness run amok.

A good demonstration of how historical accounts are edited.

 

4chan should spread around that Racists are going around getting Obama tats to celebrate his white mother.

See if they can make "Obama" a symbol of white racism...

 

I couldn't believe it when Canks blamed a cartoon frog for her loss.

 

I like it.
