Philadelphia Inquirer-
West Point is investigating a hand gesture made by several cadets and midshipmen during an ESPN pre-game broadcast at the Army-Navy game Saturday after clips of the signals went viral because of their association with white power.
“West Point is looking into the matter,” a spokesperson said in an emailed statement. “At this time we do not know the intent of the cadets.”
Bleacher Report-
“We are aware and will be looking into it,” added Cmdr. Alana Garas of the Naval Academy. More
Obama used the “ok” sign. This is SO damn STUPID!!!
And if black cadets had raised their fists for ‘Black Power” would there have been any outrage? So sick of this shit.
People who think there is anything wrong with this are stupid and looking for something else to whine about.

Looks to me like he’s about to flick the sportscaster’s ear
The association of the OK sign and white power/supremacy is 100% bogus. It was a hoax perpetrated by some rascals at 4chan.
What has actually been happening since then is the use of that OK sign to mischievously trigger snowflakes and SJWs. And Boy Howdy! does it ever work!
My own use of that sign reflects its use in Latin America where, especially if offered underhand rather than overhand, it means, “You’re an asshole.” Hmm. That’s very similar to the deliberate trigger motive, isn’t it? LOL
Because white America is still stuck in the 19th century, said every single america hating, drooling idiot Leftist. Sorry for the redundancy. America hating drooling idiot leftist is implied. There are no exceptions.
This is Obama’s legacy
Enough with this swamp bullshit. Investigate islamists in our military instead.
I’d be happy to supply them with a less ambiguous gesture…
“At this time we do not know the intent of the cadets.”
…so, looking for thoughcrimes, then? Only certain thoughts are permitted?
…I don’t think Orwell was meant to be a “how-to” manual.
Speaking of which, if you look at @ Thirdtwin’s link, they certainly slather all over themselves to excuse Black West Point cadets for making the “Black Power” salute and then try to turn it into “Your’re racist if you don’t excuse it” in a hurry, there, don’t they?
Unequal justice ALWAYS gets equalized, eventually.
ALWAYS.
And I don’t think they’ll like how it happens, when it happens, either.
Where do the lefties get off constantly redefining our language, whether spoken or symbolic. F’m.
You brain lacking propogandists cannot condemn everything you deem fit as a hate sign. Increasingly we are getting tired of your bullshit pc highjacking of everything. Im about done with this stupid shit.
Saw an ad on TV last night with that “white power” sign on a ball cap…..on the head of Stephen Curry.
Maybe they should investigate why the USMA superintendent is 30 lbs. overweight. He looks like shit.
