Well, I might be next but wanted to let you know that this isn't quite what happened unless I missed something:

He was sitting at a desk when he did this. He wasn't pulling people out of water and stopping to showboat.

See post #30. I said if you do stupid things, you deserve what you get. His response was, well you wouldn't feel that way if he was rescuing you.


Believe me, my ignore list is very exclusive. You have to be very "special" to make it.

Actually you posted that to prove what I said about the coast guard & MSNBC is wrong. . You did this by quoting me in your post. You left that part out of course.

I simply pointed out that you were wrong. And the fact you now make a big deal of the ignore list, simply adds icing to that cake. We know how it is with you guys.

That guy's career was has been ruined by an idiot at MSNBC suggesting that he's a racist when of course he isn't. That is the point of this topic. Stop trying to make it about me.

Then the white supremacists apparently not understanding the intent to just troll people with it claimed it s their own...making it a actual real sign they flash to indicate their beliefs.


Which makes it both 4chans greatest troll in some ways.....and a actual white supremacist hand gesture in the end. Even better for the actual white supremacists is if they are called on it, they claim they're just messing with folks.

Bottom line though? If you're in the coast guard neither behavior is acceptable. You're a member of a professional service, act like it......at least while on camera you moron.

Good Lord.

The same thing happened with Pepe too.

But it doesn't make either a "white supremacist gesture in the end" just because those folks are just as moronic as liberals when it comes to this stuff.

Following this logic 4chan will start finding a way for the most common symbols/gestures/customs to mean "white power" so that all interactions are racist.

Handshakes, opening doors, thumbs up...all will be up for grabs.

Hell, I'm surprised they haven't done something with gesundheit for a post-sneeze yet. After all, that's German which means Nazis.

The "okay sign" is a white power symbol now? You learn something new every day. I thought the okay sign meant okay.

If I was that guy, I'd be giving the middle finger sign right now (I assume that means what it is supposed to mean). Honestly, a guy busts his ass to save people and this is what he gets? Pisses me off just thinking about it. He ought to sue their asses off for defamation. Okay means okay, morons.

You lefties are trying to reintroduce the tower of babel where nobody knows what anyone else is trying to say. There is nothing you people will stop at, is there? Now you want to redefine language (YEAH, a hand gesture is a form of language). Y'all can cram it. I'll go out of my way to say okay more often.

I feel young and hip around here sometimes.

4chan's mission is to make everyone look foolish. When the white supremacist groups adopted Pepe and the ok sign they got the same joy as they got out of fooling the liberals (original targets).

You can find a ton of stuff on 4chan making fun of the white supremacist groups who thought it was a great idea to adopt Pepe because it ticked off liberals. It was a huge bonus for them.

It’s easy to spot the white supremacists in this thread; they’re the ones acting like plausible deniability (relative to this symbol being displayed) is still believable.

So let's get this straight.



If you don't believe a teevee pundit at MSNBC, you are a White Supremacist?
