So despite a lifetime of knowing what that hand gesture actually means, all it took was that one poorly made picture to convince you otherwise?

Here's another one for you:

No.

It's a gesture that has been co-opted by the far right as a covert display of racist brotherhood. Just because it's universally acknowledged by most people as meaning "OK", doesn't mean that it's not recognised by a minority as something else. You understand that don't you?

[blue matt]

what is even more absurd is you are trying to justify it,

Justify? Justify what?

Oooooo Kaaaayyyyyyyyy...

Bollocks to that.

Deep sea divers use as gesture to others down there that everything okay. Presumably this will have to change to suit the PC brigade's wishes. Crazy.

Next they'll be saying President trump is racist as he uses it in every speech he makes. How absurd.

A long time ago - I need a sub aqua course - and one of the first things you learn is hand signals.

That sign has always meant - OK. It made it's way into normal 'culture' as an OK type symbol / hand gesture

So because someone somewhere tries to convince others it actually something racist - FFS.

What about thumbs up - is that a sign for something else to

Yeah, it means I am surfacing doesn't it?

OK means average. They are not white supremacists, merely white averagists.

[surge]

Isn't it strange how words/symbols can only adopt a negative meaning and once they do you cannot move back to original or onto a further new meaning?

It's an ok sign no matter what they may want it to be. Don't let an alt-right group change the meaning to a negative symbol by giving it possible recognition.

[NYCBlue]

What does this sign mean?

For about over 10,000 years prior to the last century it meant something else. So it can't be racist?

I'm sure that it also means 'ar$ehole' in some parts of the world ?!

Perhaps that's what the two Rednecks were aligning with ;)

It can be whatever anyone wants it to be, but for the vast majority of non-nutters, it just means OK, and will continue to .

The two chumps trying to use it as their own ickle symboly-wimboly to show that they are minority racists simply illustrates that is exactly what they are.

Until Michael Jackson released the Bad album, bad meant bad. Also, my son now tells me that 'sick' doesn't mean sick anymore - sick means bad, which is now good.

Wicked!

[severncity]

I've noticed that many people now say "okey cokey" when they mean "okay", a mash up of "Hokey Cokey" and "okay". Is this racist too or will I offend someone if I say "okey cokey"?

[Ainsley Harriott]

OK.

Reported.

[Colonel Cærdiffi]

The thing is, this nonsense was made up by the weirdo trolls over on the 4chan messageboard to see if they could hook any gullible media outlets into printing it as fact. Yet another success for them then.

They're getting pretty good at that.

Didn't they get gullible American women to piss their pants in support of rape victims once?

It is suddenly all falling in to place.
