Shit like this is what makes me want to cut off all contact with the human race

Cubs investigating fan allegedly flashing ‘white power’ sign behind NBC Sports reporter

 

[RatLabGuy]

Which also means that, even if the context in which the symbol was used — behind a black reporter where it would obviously be seen by TV viewers — is certainly troubling and is worthy of investigation by the Cubs, we should exercise at least some caution before making a definitive determination about what this fan was doing and why.

Oooooor - the exact opposite... and it's just a stupid prank gesture, and the fact the reporter is black is just chance, and not worth wasting everybody's time over.... in which case, no, no it is not worth investigating anything.

Or, he gets to shoulder punch us all for looking at the circle

However, it appears to be above his waste.....

My understanding is that 4chan started the white power thing as a joke and it actually took hold. Now you see what it gets us.

I really just thought that was a “made you look” punch you in the shoulder now kind of thing. Then in the last year or 2 has now gained moment again with funny memes and short videos on the internet. Looks to me like dude saw an opportunity to do this silly thing on TV and now he’s being investigated? Ridiculous!

And all this from the same people who'd like you to kindly forget that the governor of Virginia dressed in black face that one time.

I'm pretty sure thats the whole premise of modern racism.

Also, well played in the pic.

Looks like Eddie Murphy playing Buckwheat started this whole mess....O'Tay!!!

Yeah it’s a reddit thing. Someone posted onto the white supremacist Sub reddit saying that it was a white power symbol and it took hold. Therefore (I guess) is now a WP symbol

when did this become a white power sign? I have a morale patch with it and its called the game after the game we all played in grade school. Look at the circle, get punched in the arm and called a fag. If you can put your finger through the circle without looking at it, then you punch the other guy in the arm and call him a fag. Simple, no race connotation involved at all.

Guys hold on. It doesn't count. It isn't below the waist. If it isn't below the waist it doesn't count. No punches.

Exactly. Hence my post with said sign in crotchal area!
