Utebird Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 1 minute ago, Sack that QB said: In a country of 335 million, a few thousand is nothing. Thousands of people believe the earth is flat. I say let them do their thing and ignore them and their "symbols" that's the best approach. Maybe he just wanted to flash a symbol on TV out of spite to stick it to people who think it's bad and it was a total coincidence the reporter standing there was black? I have no idea why he did it, but that's precisely the point of why you don't need to draw conclusions. It serves no purpose. It was more than a few thousand. The army reprimanded a bunch of dudes that that flashed it in a pic. Police departments have done the same, especially after an fbi report that stated police departments had been infiltrated by white supremacists in their ranks. One can choose to ignore it but history has shown symbols can have power that can incite negative behavior associated with those symbols. Serves no purpose to try and come up with any and all reasons to excuse his use of that sign or anybodies imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Bane in this case is DK, who literally picks JJAW up above his head and breaks his back. That would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serves no purpose to try and come up with any and all reasons to excuse his use of that sign or anybodies imo The problem with your argument is that the sign has multiple uses, as we've established. So if someone flashes it, people are making assumptions for which it was used. 99.9% of the population uses that sign as an ok symbol. An infinitesimal minority uses it as a racist symbol. And if I remember those stories correctly, it was social panic from the army and police departments during social unrest where everything everywhere was racist and some guy got fired for cracking his knuckles outside of his work truck's window because it was misconstrued as that symbol, and companies were removing Uncle Ben's face from rice "bc racism." People were not acting rationally during that time period, it was a bunch of cowards acquiescing to moral panic and a vocal minority of activists.

Utebird Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 8 minutes ago, matchew88 said: Really? Yes, it was all part of his plan to consider all the factors of the present moment, including skin color of a man on TV, to score morale points with his white supremacist brothers around the country, at a game no one cares about. He probably knew exactly which inning and out he would carry out his master plan. Actually sounds just stupid enough to work, especially for a cubs fan. Having said that the guy may not be a full blown white supremacist but I'm guessing he knows full well the implication of that sign and if he doesn't he should. Like I said there are 500 other hand gestures one could use at that point, don't quote me in the 500, it's not a scientific guess😁 yet he chose to do this one particular sign that is a known white power symbol in front of a black guy. More than likely he's just a drunk idiot much like Riley Cooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I watch this, it shows how great he is at extending the play and how he's been working on keeping his eyes down field. Gotta love the aggression and fearlessness to go for the score there, too. Great play, but a bad outcome. Really love what I've seen from Hurts today." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy getting fired for cracking his knuckles was another instance that sticks out. It's why their are now bands called Lady A and The Chicks now too.

Yeah, but he's basing it on how it's exactly used in the screenshot. It's not used as an OK, or the trick to make you look. I'm Black, and I think it was used in a derogatory way and so did the network. I'm not bent out of shape about it because racists exist and that's not gonna change. I don't get why we have to come up with all these hypotheticals to justify the act. Let's just leave it at that and get back to football talk and celebrating JJAW being gone 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
