Who in America officially redefined those terms and symbols? Who authorized them to do so?

For the OK symbol, it looks like it was the Anti-Defamation League. You have to see racism everywhere to be able to see the stem on the P, though, because it's not there.

Y'all can shoot the messenger all you want but how about you flash the OK symbol next to a couple of your AA coworkers and then ask your HR Department if that is OK.

Obviously context matters with these terms and symbols. My wife is fixing chili tonight and she wants me to pick up some onions and a box of crackers. Obviously, there is no racist overtones with the latter item in her request based on context.

Offends the hell out of me. I don’t like onions and I want my feel feels taken seriously.......

I’m familiar with it...I just refuse to lend legitimacy to it. Ridicule is all it deserves.

Please someone tell me why the ok symbol is racist. I seriously have no clue. All the basket ball players do it when they make a three pointer ,it's all over album covers with the artist looking through it .

Have no idea how that evolved, so I just always give the "thumbs up" signal instead. I'm sure someone will find that racist eventually and I'll be shot on sight for giving grandma a thumbs up for a great dinner as I get in my car to head home.

Ok...I just did. They laughed. Director of HR looked at me like I was stupid.

What now?

Do an interpretive dance move that conceals twisting your limbs into an ancient Sanskrit symbol of peace and life. If they don't get it, try going black face in the dance.

Or just let them be happy, non-woke, normal people.

I'm not going to argue the validity of the symbol but when you direct that towards an AA in 2019, it has a racist overtone. It's like the middle finger. In America, it means 1 thing and in other cultures, it means the exact opposite.

Yeah....as radical as it sounds I think I’m going with the last suggestion.

A bunch of dorks on 4chan literally set out to convince libs that the ok hand signal was racist with fake posts and hashtags and gullible losers like you fell for it. I bet you believed Jussie Smollett and the little girl who had her hair cut recently too.

On the job. Also went through the car wash in my patrol car and had the black male attendant say hello shake my hand and said man I wash your car every time, you know we take care of you, next time dont pay and I said I dont expect anything free but thanks....of course no news there just another daily interaction that happens all the time everywhere despite the narrative everyone wants to discuss.

False. Your falling for a false political construct. An attempt to inject something into the culture that is not there.

If you refuse to accept it, it does not exist.

Unfortunately that does’t work with football coaches.

The narrative you speak of sells better.



And it’s a damn shame....

I just did and really screwed up. He now thinks that project I've been working on is all good to go and scheduled the release. Now I actually have to work! Terrible advice

The ok being racist was an internet troll job. Anyone falling for it is a complete idiot
