Hold that sign the other way so that the thumb is on the right and it says "WP", not "OK".
But you and your Rittenhouse gang know that. So do the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Keep your crocodile tears (or maybe Kyle Rittenhouse tears) to yourself.
@suzianne saidSo a nice white girl just trying to help the community gives an OK sign when she gets accepted to a job in a hospital and you're OK with her being fired because "it's racist"?

Madness.
NOBODY thinks it's a White Power sign except liberal half wits that are just looking for something to cry about.
@dood111 saidWhat’s the okay sign?

Finger and thumb together and the three fingers up? Like with diving?
How the hell is that racist?
@shavixmir saidTake a good look at the many pics of white supremacy groups in the US using the sign and then get back to us.

@dood111 saidWhites don't think so, and so you think that "NOBODY" thinks so.

Thanks for that fine example of racism.
@dood111 saidSuzanne, as he says, no one thinks the OK sign means anything but OK. I have never heard of it being anything else. Get a grip. If I write a letter to the editor that my friends use the OK sign to say 'Let us meet at Bobby McGee's!", does that screw up the paradigm of our society?

"In 2017, the “okay” hand gesture acquired a new and different significance thanks to a hoax by members of the website 4chan to falsely promote the gesture as a hate symbol, claiming that the gesture represented the letters “wp,” for “white power.” The “okay” gesture hoax was merely the latest in a series of similar 4chan hoaxes using various innocuous symbols; in each case, the hoaxers hoped that the media and liberals would overreact by condemning a common image as white supremacist."
"The overwhelming usage of the “okay” hand gesture today is still its traditional purpose as a gesture signifying assent or approval. As a result, someone who uses the symbol cannot be assumed to be using the symbol in either a trolling or, especially, white supremacist context unless other contextual evidence exists to support the contention. Since 2017, many people have been falsely accused of being racist or white supremacist for using the “okay” gesture in its traditional and innocuous sense."
Nice try.

Nice try.
In the case of the “okay” gesture, the hoax was so successful the symbol became a popular trolling tactic on the part of right-leaning individuals, who would often post photos to social media of themselves posing while making the “okay” gesture.
Ironically, some white supremacists themselves soon also participated in such trolling tactics, lending an actual credence to those who labeled the trolling gesture as racist in nature. By 2019, at least some white supremacists seem to have abandoned the ironic or satiric intent behind the original trolling campaign and used the symbol as a sincere expression of white supremacy, such as when Australian white supremacist Brenton Tarrant flashed the symbol during a March 2019 courtroom appearance soon after his arrest for allegedly murdering 50 people in a shooting spree at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.
