So what should happens to cadets in uniform

[Hikergirl]

My narrative? LOL And yeah, if you claim no one is defending racist behavior, we're obviously reading two different threads.

Yes your narrative, that post doesn't mention any racist behavior. It mentions the circle game, the OK symbol and I think the thumbs up sign.
Please please tell us what racist behavior that poster specifically mentioned and defended.

I really don't get how "not jumping to the conclusion that everything is racism" equates to "defending racism" in some people's eyes. But, some people must get something out of doing that to other people. For the life of me I don't know who wins in doing that.

Can we close this thread? This was not racism. The okay sign is not racist. The circle game is not racist.
Please don't buy into every thing you are told without looking further into it.

I have looked further into it, and under certain circumstances, the ok sign might be a white supremacist hand sign. As stated up thread. Is it in this case? Who knows.

The villagers in Frankenstein know! Get out the pitchforks!

I think, however, we are missing the point that regardless of the intent and meaning, the behavior was still unbecoming of a cadet.

I agree this is an important point.

For crying out loud, this again. I think he should be punished by being forced to play Punch Buggy with the VW bugs blindfolded.

When are we going to stop making all this racist crap up? Hint, racism will never be solved if you keep making every single little thing about racism.

This gesture HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACISM OR WHITE SUPREMACY!!!!! I don't care the liberal idiots in this country are trying to make it that way, it is NOT!

The game has been going on for 40+ freaking years.

What's next? A thumbs up is white supremacy? How about a hand shake, or a high five?

Why don't we just arrest all of us white people and remove us? Then there can't be any racism, right?

This is getting sickening, absolutely sickening. And everyone just laps it up. We are doomed.

OR ppl lacknowledge that there still is racism & implicit bias and try to have a little more insight & stop acting like they’re the victim.
