TRUCKGATE!

Must be a slow news day.

[dm1333]

LOL!  I thought the big news of the day was the intern flashing a white power signal in a photo or the confederate flag people are flipping out about in one of Ivanka's vacation photos.

That's a white power symbol?  Holy crap, I thought it was an "OK" sign.

Like when you see a well-restored antique automobile on the road, and like that there.  



I had a hard time figuring out how you make a W and P with your fingers, had to image-search for it, and some sites had to actually explain how that was a W and a P.

And that a W and a P stood for "White" "Power."

Dayam, some people are just looking for any excuse to get riled up nowadays, ain't they?

That's definitely a new one on me. I use the "OK" sign all the time.

... because you're a racist, Ben.     

[230RN]

I guess the trick would be to hold the last three fingers tightly together to avoid the "W" look:

|||p

As opposed to:

\|/p

However, with respect to some people, I use:

oo|o

with my left hand.  The right hand one is:

o|oo

to the observer.

[Ben]

Since I've never seen the "OK" sign done with three fingers held together, I'll let the SJWs and white power people do it that way, and I'll keep doing it hte way I always have. :)

10-4

This has meant "OK" for as long as I can remember, and I'm older than just about anyone on this site (wth, I think, maybe two exceptions).

[Scout26]

And if one does the "White Power" "Okay" sign upside down, in sign language it means "Arshhole".

And I make the okay sign with the tips of the thumb and forefinger together and the ring and pinky finger bent down.  It is then displayed at an angle so the observer/target sees the "Okay" part with the just the middle finger extended....


My goal is to insult and confuse....   

[CypherNinja]

The OK-sign = "white power" thing is a gag 4chan played on gullible Twitter journalists a year and a half ago.

Glad to see they're still getting returns on it. 

[HankB]

Hmmm . . . I can understand how someone who sees all kinds of outlandish stuff in Rorsach inblots can see WP in the "OK" sign.

BUT . . .what if the person makes the "OK" sign with their OTHER hand? Wouldn't that be a backward P followed by a W? What would that mean? The opposite of White Power?

Enquiring minds want to know.

 

Really, though, there's nothing new about the media's desperation to smear a Republican. Take a look at this:



Some "journalists" said that this gesture meant Bush 43 was a satanist - a devil worshipper.

In actuality, it's the "Hook 'em Horns" gesture, meant to show support for the Texas Longhorns football team.

[K Frame]

Well, the Longhorns are the devil's apprentices, so yeah, I think the media was right about Bush II...

 

[dm1333]

Why is no one calling out Obama over throwing the white power sign?

I'm left-handed, so I guess I'm making the "PW" all the time. 

[Andiron]

Bush was obviously just leaving a Black Sabbath concert.

I expected this comment . . . and you were on the list of people I could expect it from.   

[MechAg94]

I guess I will refrain from commenting on tea sippers then.   

[230RN]

Hm.  I thought that was the time-honored signal for "cornu," giving you "the horns," meaning your wife is unfaithful.

As in, "Your wife is giving you the horns."

Terry

Note:  This observation is from the fifties in New York, esp. from Italians.  "Cornu," as in "cornucopia," the "horn of plenty."

Because when he does it, WP means "Wuss Power"?

[HeroHog]

If it points the other way, wouldn't it be a "q"? What does "qW" represent?

[Scout26]

i cant believe an entire political party got trolled into going to war with a cartoon frog and some silly hand gesture

Damned straight! The sky is Blue and White because God is a Penn State fan!

[Hawkmoon]

I think you mean Yale, not Penn State.




No, I didn't attend Yale.

[K Frame]

Yale is a school?

I thought it was a cheap padlock.

  Ouch.   The Harvard guys are gloating!
