Reclaim it and use it when people ask if you want to go to lunch in 5 min. and you're on the phone so you can't talk.

"They weren't guilty until proven innocent. They were questioned and then the admin. announced the symbols were a part of a game."

CNN called them disturbing and hurtful.

If not everyone is racist, why do you assume we need to investigate when the kids did this at a football game, when everyone was in a good mood? There was no evidence it was anything resembling racism, except for (1) the OK sign, and (2) the willingness of snowflakes to go bonkers for no reason. That was enough.

If one of the white kids was caught on camera yelling "hey, n***er", right before flashing the sign, OK. But there was nothing to suggest it was anything other than what it turned out to be.

You don't think the left immediately convicts accused racists? Again, tell that to the Duke lacrosse players, god knows how many white cops convicted in the media, or that Sandman kid who be a zillionaire soon. How many examples would I have to cite, exactly, before you might say "you know what, maybe there IS a pattern here." How many? Because whatever the number is, I can cite that many. Al Sharpton made a career out of false racism accusations, and you can't run for POTUS as a democrat without getting on your knees and kissing his ring.

You can't say out loud that your side uses the race card repugnantly. Because liberals are never wrong.

So why did the CG punish one of their cadets for doing the same thing?

Presumably because HE did it. That doesn't say anything about anyone else.

Good lord man, if a black guy kills someone in Chicago this weekend, does that mean every time someone is murdered, we investigate blacks first?

You're holding others responsible for the acts of someone else.

Exactly - you made my point. He got in trouble for making the ok symbol bc the intent of the symbol was somehow racist and not the way a 11 year old is using it.

And how did the CG know his intent? - They asked him.

And if I said that no one is racist, you'd have a point. I didn't, so you don't.

And where are the apologies from the people in the media who immediately concluded it was racist, Paul? How come you never address that?

Just hand the reigns over to AOC, let her drive the democrat wagon right off the left-edge of the earth.

I do have a point - the CG found that the symbol was racist. All the people on this thread other than WDMSO are totally denying it has any racist intent.
And where are the apologies from the people in the media who immediately concluded it was racist, Paul? How come you never address that?You never asked about that. But let them apologize.

Who is AOC? 1 rep. with 1 vote. Didn't Pelosi say something like "who cares they have 4 votes" when talking about the squad.
