Be careful using the "OK" hand gesture

[DeadNutz]

The nuts just keep getting nuttier. Evidently the OK hand gesture made with the thumb and forefinger is now a racist symbol of white power. At least that is what the ADL and SPLC have declared so I guess it is official.

A power company worker in San Diego was fired after someone posted a picture of him with his arm outside the window of a company truck. He said he was cracking his knuckles and not flashing a sign. He is Hispanic-American so how does race play into this. If I witnessed an accident and approached those involved and asked if they were OK, could it be a hate crime if either of us asked or answered with a hand sign?

The "ok" hand sign becoming a white power symbol was a joke that started on 4 chan that the MSM pickup on. It was very commonly used hand symbol used in construction, we where told to stop using it. The signalman and operators told the HR and safety to get bent and that they would continue using it since a thumbs up means boom up. The PC/SJW crowd needs to F O.

One of the college football coaches, just got in trouble for the tee shirt he had on on a fishing trip. The t-shirt had the letters for a right leaning radio network. What does you personal religious or political believes, have to do with coaching football?? Is he spewing hate or racist propaganda at his halftime speech, NO.

I’m 65, hopefully will not see the total collapse of common sense in America, but my kids and grandkids will.

People need to stop giving in to these loons. The Drew Brees incident a week or so ago is a perfect example, he stated his opinion on the taking a knee during the anthem at games(which was a good opinion) and the SJW's and media came down on him hard. I dont know why he caved, this is his last year in the NFL, he owns or partially own several successful restaurant chains, already has millions in savings, and has made millions in donation in the NOLA area. People need to grow a back bone and when the SJW's demand an apology tell to kiss your ass. Thats why its getting so bad, we are validating the voices and opinions of a bunch of baby's on facebook.

Can't do that anymore because it'd violate the socialist distancing directive. Now you have to tell 'em to go fuck themselves with a 2 by 4

BTW WTF is a SJW?

We had some people call, they did not like my answers, so I’m probably on somebody watch list now.

I told them I thought the the BLM movement is racist, when you actually believe all lives matter, then come talk to me.

I told them, I’m 65 yrs old, I never collected a days worth of unemployment or a nickels worth of public assistance. I’ve gone through a couple of rough periods in my life, where I had to make a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese last 2-3 meals, nobody offered me any assistance, but I survived and worked my ass off.

I told them I would respect anyone who had the same work ethic, I have. I’ve worked my ass off to get to where I am today, if I can do it, they can too. So basically, no one gave me anything, so I’ll be damned if I going to give anyone anything.

In Brasil, the OK sign means a$$ hole. Except for the 'Mericans, they make allowances for us. 

At least that's what I was told 20+ years ago. Come to think of it, the guy was a bit of a jokester, he had me bring/smuggle in Sanka coffee. Said he grew to love it when he was a student at GMI. I never knew when he was serious, what with the language difference. His English was very good; my Portuguese, on the other hand could get me a couple of cold beers and my face slapped in most any bar. LOL
