NBC 7 in San Diego is reporting that a San Diego Gas and Electric employee was fired after a stranger posted to Twitter a photo of the man making the white power symbol with his hand while in a company truck. Emmanuel Cafferty says he was just cracking his knuckles, but he was suspended and a few days later, fired.

Be careful out there. An unaware gesture, a common phrase, a facial expression.......

Anything now can turn your life upside down.

What the hell is a white power sign? As a white male, ie. “racist”, I need to keep up with these signs.

Liberals only like gang signs thrown by MS13.

lmfao, it doesn't even look like an "ok" hand gesture.

How the hell did SD&G determine that and then fire him? And he's Latino as well.

It doesn't exist. At least not in the form that man made with his hand. It's basically the "OK" gesture, but it was hijacked on the internet to troll lefties, and they fell for it hard. And apparently, because they fell for it, and their narratives are all they believe, it's now a thing and can get you fired from your job if you accidentally make this gesture.








But this is really just more of cultural Marxism taking over everything. First they infiltrate the education system, then they come for the jobs, then when you're down and out, they come for your guns. Then you're finished, but they definitely don't stop there.

What are we going to do about this systemic racism? What can we do? If not directing by the government it has to be condoning it.

Full story and video here...

SDG&E claims they did a thorough investigation/other interviews and based on that they fired him.

I'd like to see that other "evidence" because otherwise this is completely insane.

Irony here is I'm a habitual knuckle cracker and do that exact same hand motion to crack when my other hand is occupied (like it being on a steering wheel ).
