Current Affairs George Floyd and Minneapolis Unrest

[Pettifogger]

Jimmy, from the protestor perspective, wouldn't it help to have this outside, largely white, non-BLM group be deemed the source of most of the chaos? I think that's the truth, but I also think it separates the large majority of protestors from the trouble making.

I am going to give you the benefit of doubt on this for now - ie not knowing this is used as racist/white supremacist symbol or meaning it in that way.

That said - fair warning to all - for this thread, I see the "OK" hand gesture again, I will ban you.

Hi boss.

Can you educate me as to why that is racist?

Never knew that before , so would be nice to know where the racist conations are from now.

There has been a few incidents here in UK in recent weeks with tazers...

Under lockdown, we should be increasingly critical about Police use of tasers

Sophie Williams-Dunning argues that the stories which have emerged from lockdown regarding the use of tasers are a cause for concern and should lead us to question the extent of the police's power

Also there is a sense of targeting,

Thanks for that.

How did it become connected to “white power”?
It started in early 2017 as a hoax. Some users of 4chan, an anonymous and unrestricted online message board, began what they called “Operation O-KKK,” to see if they could trick the wider world — and especially liberals and the mainstream media — into believing that the innocuous gesture was actually a clandestine symbol of white power.

What a world.

It has been co-opted by the white supremacist movement as a white power symbol.

*Note to MODS, just putting this here for educational reasons!!!!!!!!!*

Me either until fairly recently.

Like with everything, context eh?

I got pulled up not so long ago for using a raised fist emoji. I've done that forever, apparently it also means - I forget. But something not good.

I can’t keep up with all of this. Everything seems to have two or three meanings these days. I just had to look up the history behind this ok symbol, I assume thumbs up has a few meanings as well....

It’s mental isn’t it.

edit, what Lost legend said.
