West Point and Annapolis officials are trying to determine the motives of service academy students who flashed hand signs on national television that in certain contexts are associated with “white power'

The hand sign appeared to be displayed both by West Point cadets and Annapolis midshipmen during a broadcast of the annual Army-Navy football game in

Philadelphia, but U.S. Military Academy officials haven't yet determined their intent, according to a West Point spokesman. A U.S. Naval Academy spokeswoman said the...

The OK sign was a 4chan joke to see if they could convince people it was for white power. This is pathetic that people take it seriously.

RobGeorge Hey just wondering if you found time to post a link to the conclusion of the investigation. I’m sure you wouldn’t let the result slip your attention.

Really?! Are you kidding me?! The circle game is racist? What isn’t racist anymore? PC has gotten completely out of hand. Who isn’t offended by something anymore? Ridiculous.

Even if the students used the gesture as a joke, & aren’t racists, their behavior demonstrates that they are too immature/lacking the qualities the academy should require. If they don’t appreciate the opportunity they’ve been given (& all that goes w/it) they shouldn’t be there.

In other “certain contexts”, such as in Latin America, this particular hand sign means “stick it up your ass”. Which is what I wish those who use it for white supremacy would do.

Leave it to tha little Teacups of WestPoint_USMA and USNavy who only join tha military for two things, 'Acceptance and Protection'. Just like their senior officers, nothing more nothing less. AmericasDisgrace

that's not white power sign that is a the blood gang sign. black people been throwing that up since the 80s. white people always trying to take our culture and turn it negative

Stupid! It is circles.

danajacobson Which the President flashes every other word out his mouth.

Uniformed West Point White Supremacists Publicly Flashing Their White Power Gang Sign Were Appropriate During Trump’s Army/Navy Appearance. As King of the White Supremacy movement, TRUMP’S HEART IS FULL. ProudBoys WestPoint WhiteHouse KKK AssaultWeapons MAGA KAG2020 FOX

MalcolmNance It’s clear what they were doing. Let’s not allow them to gaslight the American public. There is no room for doubt amongst military personnel. They should be punished.

Because it’s a game, assholes!

Easy answer! They are white nationalist children of white nationalists. Case closed!

This is a CWT.

To salute whyte supremacy. I wonder how much confusion it would be if they were throwing up a pitchfork or Black Power Fist......

Don’t care what the motive is..if you yell fire in a theater, if you yell bomb in a plane, you’re out. We don’t need an inquiry as to why you’re a disturb, hateful person. WestPoint Annapolis

Nancy's a racist, who knew?

Stupid article. It's a gesture that's been used for a long time and either means 'OK' or if held below the waist is part of the 'circle game', that's all, stupid racist need to get a life and quit trying to find something that's not there.

Does anyone truly believe the future soldiers of the military industrial complex are being trained to be tolerant. It's an oxymoron.

What should we do about the gang signs flashed by college and pro athletes?

jncbooks Indeed

blakehounshell Motive? It is called institutional racism...it is destroying lives, institutions, principles, brotherhoods, sisterhoods, the environment, friendships, and trust...everything important in life...gone!

Let the NFL refs review it. Then we will know the real answer, or not.

It's not a cipher: they are adolescents with poor impulse control and White Nationalist leanings. The critical question -- is there a subculture of ultra right- wing, White nationalism in the service academies? If so, we must stamp it out.

Ok. Let’s punish all govt officials who use this hate symbol immediately.

Pretty obvious what their motives are. They’re doing right behind the head of their black classmate and they put it down as he turns around. This is disgusting.

Idk why the White Power Terrorists throw up this bullshit, if they’re going to hide behind Apologists like those on the thread

The same people who think the circle game is racist are completely silent on RalphNortham's racism. virtuesignaling

If only there was a clue as to their motive.

Already looking for reasons to not expel the little scumbags.

Don't whitewash these acts. They were blatant displays of 'white power'. Expel all of these individuals. They do NOT belong in our military.

So disappointing that the once prestigious wsj joined the dying voices of failed pc culture in giving this a thought, let alone a write up. Fail

In other context its considered a hoax.

Those little punks will say it means something entirely different. Investigate my a$$.

Left will stop at nothing to cause divisiveness. Now attacking our service academy. Remember Orange man bad and Barry O holy

Odd so many weren't even white though...

Its all in context and its clear there was no 'punch game' going on. Those signs were done to make a statement. As all kids that age they often dont think of the consequences of their actions. Its was stupid and reprehensible and they should be punished accordingly.

“Motives”? Really? We ain’t doing long division. But I know, “boys will be boys”...🙄

Oprah racist AF. I mean damn

The same people who are saying these cadets shouldn’t use controversial gestures while in uniform on TV also support Colin Kaepernick using a controversial gesture while in uniform on TV circlegame

9/9 So the question is and always has been if this was an issue at the Air Force Academy, why wasn't it ever explored and publicly discussed regarding the other academies? So let's not pretend that this is brand new and we've never been here before.

Looking for an out...

8/x It was strongly addressed again after an incident in 2017. White supremacy is an ongoing issue in the military and must be addressed accordingly.

7/x And yet while the Air Force is attempting to at least address the issue, the other branches of the military have been almost completely silent.

6/x It should come as no surprise then that because of the level of intolerance within the academy, so many cadets feel forced to conceal their true religious beliefs and feign conversion.

5/x The military keeps investigating yet no results let alone resolutions are ever produced. It is no secret that Christian fundamentalism is used as part of the rationale at the heart of white supremacy and the American strain of white nationalism.

4/x Ironically, the largest continent of Muslims in the academy happened to also to be African Americans, not individuals of middle eastern or Asian descent. Therefore, they were doubly hit by intolerance and racism in the military service.

Quickly handle this racist

What a bunch of BS!

3/x But intolerance was intensified with tactics applied during the so-called war in terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan. Within the military, there were efforts to promote the military acton as a Holy War or war of Christianity against Islam.

2/x White supremacy and White nationalism have been under investigation by the military since at least 2005 with the issue being exposed at the Air Force Academy where intolerance was promoted at the core of the indoctrination.

- cut the BS. 1/x This has been a longstanding 'issue' in the military and you know it. In part at its roots is the historical push for cadets to accept Christian fundamentalism as part of their indoctrination. Perhaps some people have short memories. Others don't.

Ummm....clearly the circle game. Oh the narratives we must push....

Circle game. Cmon man!

If you flash white power symbols, your motives are plain.

This should clarify everything

These young men & women have dedicated their lives to defending every US citizen, of all races, alongside their fellow soldiers & sailors, of all races. You won't find more truly diverse places or people. This accusation, to spurn interest in the race industry, is appalling.

Hmm now what could the motive be for flashing white power signs...hmmm...still thinking...

👌..........and then you see it......and then I punch you. That's it......not racist at all.

circlegame of course you already know this. This is so stupid!

So when Obama made the OK sign, he was actually being a racist White Supremist. Who would have thunk it.

It’s a game. The circle game. Look it up, you hate inciters! WestPoint_USMA

This is complete bullshit. It doesn't even deserve acknowledgment.

Motives? Try they are racist and feel emboldened by a racist president.

What a damn shame. I've played the circle game forever. No white supremacy,ots of shoulder punches. Social media is a small, sad bubble

Possible?!

These young know right from wrong They should be expelled .They should not represent our military

POSSIBLE

That's ridiculous. Feels like liberal hysteria.

What morons, That’s the circle game

You snowflakes will stop at nothing to be outraged. First the President and now America’s finest young talent. Until everyone is in a housing commission, living on food stamps, and voting Democrat, you will not be happy. Shame on you. MAGA 👌

Bureaucrats all running around in circles so they don’t get hit by fallout. It’s all bullshit. They’ll shoot anything that moves as long as they aren’t in the crossfire.

Yeah, it’s a real head scratcher.

The Washington Post is racist.

GJabberbox Who cares what the motives are. It was inappropriate.

Idk. The motives seemed pretty dammed clear to the rest of us.

'investigating'. They won't do jack shit

david_fuj kick the li'l bigots OUT of the school, DUH. duh.

The best thing those cadets could do at this point would be to have an honest dialogue about why they did this. Youths display bad judgement; maturity and honor require honesty, remorse, acceptance of consequences, and earnest desire to learn from their mistakes and change.

Where were they radicalized? TrumpsIEDs WeaponizedHate

Could the “motivation” be that they are white supremacists 🤔

No, it's a game played with teens all over called the AHole game.

Why the quotes around white power like it’s not as real thing! Fuck everyone

carlquintanilla Thanks for tweeting that Carl. I thought my account was hacked. Couldn't believe that was trending. Awful.

Motives? They’re freaking racists. Of course the white nationalist administration has promoted this type activity

crazy and determined by the vast majority of congress and the 4 ? and Linda S. that you are off the edge and deception

Hello try Racists

Yep they should & every single one should be expelled in dishonour. It is beyond to think this would be tolerated at a Military, Navy, or Airforce Academy at all. People need to be reminded they are supporting a 5 time draft dodger who has no idea of sacrifice. TrumpIsADisgrace

Arguments over what the hand signs mean aside, why weren’t these cadets and midshipmen doing NOTHING but just standing there during their time on live television? I mean, one guy drank his soda, crushed the can and then threw it on the ground. Couldn’t they sit still?

The left will always be outraged by anything. It is SICK!!

Yeah, shure, “white power.” Even the Obama’s don’t fall for these horsefeathers.

The motives are the same as the rules for Impeachment ... Trump has successfully & effectively divided America. He has divided this formerly great nation, because he's a narcissist, sociopath. What does the GOP do? Nothing, but enable, embolden, encourage cheating in 2020!!

I’m what other context is that used?

Because their fuhrer was there

They were an embarrassment. At BEST it was horseplay. No matter what their motives they need to be disciplined. They knew they were injecting an offensive signal into a broadcast and were delighted at the opportunity. They were NOT innocent at heart.

Perhaps a little background on these individuals would clear things up. Quit jumping to conclusions. Jeez

We've been told it's just funny & that it just means 'ok.' Then we look around & see all sorts of white power RWers flashing it. Then we see all-white police forces flashing it. Now we see white military flashing it. Even if it started out as 'ok' in jest, it's b/c more.

“Certain context” is the same as “both sides”

Jesus Christ, it has nothing to do with white power!!!! Their freakin motive is just innocent fun, it's just a game or fun thing kids do nowadays!!!

WestPoint_USMA “Determine the motives”!😂Our future officers of our military following in the footsteps of dear leader Donald. Do whatever you want - even get caught on video & get away with it. Donald pardons war criminals so these “fine people” are good! businessAsUsual

JR79381478 Trying to find a MOTIVE ? Are they that stupid ? I say B. S. I'm so Sick of this B.S. I could puke !

wcsek The people who made the white nationalist signs cannot be military leaders. They aren't worthy of the honor. The should leave the academies.

“White power” sickens me. I’m very disturbed by today’s racism and bigotry are still very much alive in this country. I just absolutely love diversity myself, and I just don’t understand those racists and bigots. White supremacy is hate, not love.

Determine THIS. WasteOfTime

Aren’t the motives obvious? How stupid are they? Of course, on the other hand if they just want time for the furore to die down...yeah sure ”try” to determine the motives.

“Determine the motive”? We KNOW what they were doing and why. Dishonorable discharges for them all. Conduct unbecoming.

Remember when you asshats wrongly went after a teenager that was simply standing still while a Native Anerican pounded a drum in his face? Have you settled that lawsuit yet?

Motives? Gee, I don't know. Racism, maybe? Trump's tolerance and promotion of racism, maybe? They should all be expelled. Is waiving a white supremacy sign a domestic terrorist crime, or is it free speech!

Sorry - I’m NO CONTEXTS does anyone think that. This is dumb -

This has never been a white power sign. It’s a “made ya look” game and no amount of media hysteria race bait crap will change that.

Has anyone even though about the fact what they were making a hand gesture that looked like a W and a P BECAUSE THEY GO TO WEST POINT

Yes. What could be their motive of flashing white power symbols?🤔

Well, considering it's a universal hand signal for AOK that would be weird. WestPoint_USMA

The motive is to spread hate !

The motives are clear Trump was there.

Expel the little shits.

Look at all of these racists....smh

Of course they were! WestPoint_USMA NavalAcademy

MalcolmNance As they should!

JacekJasinski “Certain contexts”?

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what the fucking “motive” was in flashing “white supremicist” signs....Smfh KickTheFuckersOut TrumpsMerikkka IsItGr8? Yet?

They showed who they are-white supremacists. Boot their asses out.

Motive? I think we all know how disgraceful they were.

Has this ever happened before? Army-Navy game has been broadcast for as long as I can remember. Students are regularly put on camera. So has this happened before, since this game isn't something new.

Kose4by4 'trying to determine the motives' is not how you spell 'expelling students'

Here’s a clue....a racist, white male dominated culture!

Or likely had nothing to do with such, but given realDonaldTrump was there, it works out for the MSM to start the rumor.

Yes let’s see what their collective military intelligence comes up with! My guess, no conclusion or consequences for all those involved because racism is already so rampant in their Sr ranks & the commander in chief will over rule expulsion

How can any soldier who demonstrates they despise all but white people, serve their mission faithfully, when deployed to support peace and justice. They don’t support peace and justice here!

DanRiffle Trying?

1SnoozyQ These are college aged young men and women. These are not children. Your attempt at giving them cover is a failure. They should have known better, but then White supremacists have never been the brightest. Kick them out. Their divisiveness is dangerous. They are unfit to serve.

DanRiffle gee, what could the motives be

'trying to determine' They flashed a white power sign over the head of their African-American classmate. I think their motives are very clear.

Really? Motives?

Gee, the White Power joke that’s not a joke. What could it possibly mean?

You used a lot of words when “cadets display white power signs at Army-Navy game” would be succinct. I guess when the President is a racist & surrounds himself w/supremacists you have to dance around truth.

The way in which these signs were flashed is in the context of white power symbolism. No excuses at this point in history. These young people are not living in a bubble. They've grown up on social media and are quite aware of their actions. USNavy USArmy

Journalists are so stupid.

blakehounshell Because Trump wants to give them commendations and promotions ?

blakehounshell Motive was racism...

In all contexts.

EricBoehlert Motives shouldn't matter. They knew it would get attention. In fact, regardless of the motive, they should have known it would reflect poorly on their service branch. These are not leaders. Why would we want people in our military ranks with such poor judgement leading others?

OMFG. Every large media outlet should hire one person who understands what trolling is.

In what contexts does it represent white power? The fake context used to dupe the media

Everyone knows that is the white power symbol. Why would anyone at a military academy play a game that used the same hand gesture as a racist symbol. What next swastikas on their uniform because a 100 years ago it was also a good luck symbol? Kick them out.

It’s the damn circle game been around since I was a kid 25 years ago. Nothing to do with racism.

The problem is Organized Religion, from catholicism (from their inception, when pope 2 lied, calling peter pope 1, saying he had been left in charge) to southern baptists, and orthodox jewish rabbis, all of them lying and claiming genetic heritage makes them special, chosen, etc.

Does it matter what their motives were?

MalcolmNance Because their commander in Chief is a racist so they know they can get away with it. Plus Kavanaugh assistant got away with it too!

WSJ jumps on the bonehead bandwagon allowing shrieking, snowflake libs to hijack an age-old symbol. Get off my lawn...

MalcolmNance Sad white nationalist enabled by the chief white nationalist our criminal President.

MalcolmNance Ominous. It’s not recent. Remember the harassment of non-Christians at AF academy from years back? The Police non-action in Charlottesville? The police bias toward local anti fascists in Portland against fly in ‘Proud Boys’? “Somethings happening here.” VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020

RadioFreeTom

Nothing “possible” about it. Dismiss all those involved! Immediately.

Really?

It’s the circle game to everyone outside Woke Twitter and financially interested .orgs like SPLC- quit looking for racist conspiracies everywhere. Three years on, the media haven’t found one. How about not assuming the worst possible intent about everyone?

RadioFreeTom In context of morons on twitter is the only context it means that.

Shouldn't be much to investigate. There's footage...find them and remove them! No punishment will change them so removal from our armed services is mandatory!

If these students think it is a game, how are they also not aware of how their game has been transformed into association with white supremacy? And did it anyway.

The innocent “made you look” game is now skunked. We have to assume one of two things about these cadets: they flashed the WP sign on camera because they are racist white supremacists or because they lack the sense/judgment to know better. Either way, kick ‘em out. Losers.

MalcolmNance If nothing comes of this, it is a whitewash. No pun intended.

These cadets are too old to be playing any kind of game, period They were on national tv in uniform. How disgraceful. My son is an Air Man who wears his uniform in pride.These hooligans were lax, throwing cans, stumbling and using racist hand symbols.Future officers?

We must cancel everything that is three or 3! No more 3rd qtr or periods! No more field goals! No more three point shots or two plus one or 2pt and one foul shots! Gotta start younger! Tricycles and big wheels are out! Take 3 out of math! Ban Pi too! Anyone caught with three...

MalcolmNance Lol trying to determine the motives. Like they're going to come right out & say, 'yup, it's a white power sign. Saw our grand wizard in chief & showed my support.' They'll say it was a 4Chan 'prank' or 'circle game' get verbal counseling & go on to be racist trash leaders

Yes, the military academy has zero tolerance for racist hand symbols

Yeah what the fuck could the reason they flashed White Power signs be?

I stand with the cadets 👌🏼

“certain contexts”? Nobody calls it a racist sign except for people who don’t know what it means.. if Trump didn’t get the welcome he did at that event, nobody would be going after those teenage kids..

RadioFreeTom Um....

The WSJ is a communist fake news entity they work for DNC

PayDownTheDebt Oh. I’m sure I know the motives.

west point academy is either in deep denial, really stupid or just simply supports the meaning of racist gang signs their cadets were throwing. 'not much to figure out in any context what that sign means' says the ghost of mr james byrd jr w/scores of other souls nodding w/him.

So that’s their out: “They didn’t mean it.” Either they’re racists or they’re too stupid to be officers. In any case, both academies are sending a clear message if they don’t boot them. No one can police another person’s heart, but open racism should have stiff consequences.

4chan trolls rule the world now.

'In certain contexts', WSJ? Get real and tell the truth.

Nunya_Bizznizz In what context is this not a white power signal?

MalcolmNance Investigate ? Just look at all the proud posting. It is disgusting.

It was a game! To assume bad motives is a crime

tazarae20 We need to make sure that there is an investigation... It should go quickly though... They are on video doing it.

cover up on the way.......'trying to determine the motives'

Better investigate Obama too

Get Over Yourself !!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

RadioFreeTom Not feasible these are innocent babes with no knowledge of this white power symbol. Enforce the honor code. They didn’t deserve their appointments.

RadioFreeTom Maybe nothing, maybe something, but worth these officials checking it out to see whether innocent, or nefarious motives involved. I'd like to think completely harmless, but in due course we'll know.

Here, poor dears: The ignorance of normal-people things is staggering. Good luck with the “investigation.” CC: NavyFB WestPoint_USMA

hmmmm West Point and Annapolis officials are TRYING to determine the motives

👌😳

Please find and discipline accordingly

Hello. Someone want be my friend? I am Brazilian and study English alone. I need people's to speak. Thanks

MalcolmNance Whatever, WSJ, you support this sort of action from these cadets as much as our president does. STOP ACTING LIKE YOU DON’T😡 Impeach StandwithAmerica

RobGeorge Keep us updated

The motives This is ridiculous. Stop

Save some of my tax money for fixing the problem instead of a never ending “investigation”into what we call systemic racism.

Trying to determine? Is this a joke? Nose, meet face.

I am not sure this is that hard to figure out. It’s a “white power” sign.

“trying to figure out the motives”.! It’s pretty clear with the motors are. All of those institutions of full of misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, racism and bigotry.

Boot them OUT. WestPoint_USMA

tinyboo49 Motive? it's behavior unbecoming an officer, PERIOD. these punks and bullies have no place at the academy. Cadets WestPoint ArmyNavyGame

Motive = racism.

MalcolmNance 'Trying to determine motive'? White privilege on display. Inagine black cadets kneeling during the anthem. Or thowing their fist in the air.

Get Christopher Steele on it stat!

MalcolmNance Conduct unbecoming and very dangerous.....

Surely Captain Obvious is on staff?

MalcolmNance It's about the high honor bestowed on these cadet's. This acted needs a harsh punishment. I suggest dismissal. All my family for my grandparents in Europe was destroyed during WWII. This is unacceptable behavior for a cadet period.

Not good. At all.

And what do you call a fist raised into the air?

As a teacher, I can tell you the motives are pretty clear. Appropriate discipline should be the only discussion.

These 'trumpHOLES' should NEVER be allowed to even BE in our military!!!

RadioFreeTom Channers.

MalcolmNance It’s called racism

Motive obvious

MalcolmNance The “motives”? Such a joke.

RadioFreeTom Paranoid much Tommy?

Raaaaaceeeest.... he needs to drop out!

CathyJoeGPT DETERMINE MOTIVES? They are,proud racists emboldened by our racist president. Duh.

Raaaaaceeeest! He's raaaaaaceeeeest!

In certain context? ...no, in all context it is a White Power sign

Motives were not clear enough? What else do you require?

RadioFreeTom How much time do you have to spend on Twitter to believe that it is common knowledge in America that the ok symbol is used by white supremicist?

well let’s think about that, probably because they are white nationalists...toss them out

MSRegiGirl They don't need to investigate anything. All roads lead to Trump. They know this. There was no white power symbol being flashed anywhere before Putin gave us Trump and Trump gave us that.

“Trying to determine “ is aka “ drop the investigation “

Trying to determine the motives? Crispy crackers, pretty obvious.

Motive: Play the Circle Game

Seriously, they are “assessing” their motives, how about they are racist little jerks, there’s a motive.

MalcolmNance 'Motives?' Sounds like a whitewash is on the way.

RadioFreeTom This is the pusillanimous nature of the supposed ultra-white wing power culture. - It's an Ok sign- No. - It's a game from late eighties middle schoolers- No (who got hit back?) Just a blatant Trumpist dog whistle that these cowards will not actually own. Poltroons.

The motive?

RadioFreeTom Determine the motives? I can tell you that they weren't signaling 'hey grandma I'm okay '. The undercurrent of white nationalists in law enforcement and the military is immoral, though currently encouraged by GOP and trump.

I spotted this along the highway...what am I to take from this?

MalcolmNance In today’s times everyone knows what the ok 👌🏼 sign signifies! Stop patronizing us!

People who never served in the military or attended a service academy commenting on court martials and the military justice system 😂

RadioFreeTom It was an extremely stupid thing for them to do. They know what that sign represents now and although they may have thought it funny, it reflects badly on their training. These are the Proud Boys - a hate group of white nationalism. I like to think cadets are better than this.

not to worry, white nationalist Trump will pardon all Nazis.

No doubt many members of the public opinion lynch mob have already made up their minds

slpng_giants

thank goodness. Every one of them needs to be expelled. They did that shit on purpose and reveled in it.

MalcolmNance Sure, it appears to be deliberate to me. Make an example out of them.

I’d expel them, but Trump would find a way to reinstate them.

MalcolmNance Certain contexts my ass. Everyone knows exactly what this sign means. This Cadet and Midshipman were openly promoting the ideology of the Nazis, in uniform, on national TV. They can never, ever be entrusted with the lives of non-white enlisted personnel.

RadioFreeTom

RadioFreeTom I can't wait to see how history looks back on this pinnacle stupidity. It's only one dish of the current buffet being served.

sure sign of the left's insanity is saying the okay sign is white nationalist symbol.

RadioFreeTom As a commander, this is how it will go: Cdr: What were you guys doing? Them: the circle game sir. Cdr: ok

MalcolmNance realDonaldTrump is soley responsible For this detestable behavior. These cadets also are an embarrassment to the member of Congress that has written Recommendations on their behalf.

Bots are pushing the “this is the ok 👌🏽 sign or this was a game we played as kids” theory. This is an UPSIDE DOWN ok sign and has been classified as a white power signal. These students WestPoint_USMA NavalAcademy should be dismissed for conduct unbecoming!

Everyone holds up 4 fingers at the start of the 4th quarter- it doesn’t signify the 4th Reich

Racism

Obviously, the message is that White Supremacists groups have infiltrated our military academies. These are known 'Hate' groups. Would West Point or Annapolis tolerate gang hand signs? I doubt it. Nor should these be tolerated.

slpng_giants This was not the circle game. This is not how any of this works. I am so glad they did it. There won't be any question in the future as to what it means.

Forget that ANY hand gesture regardless of meaning should be cause for expulsion!!! Set an example of the three cadets and I assure you it will never happen again.

MalcolmNance Dear WestPoint_USMA & NavalAcademy, Motive: To show their fearful leader that they align with his racist xenophobic white nationalist Fascist movement. Only thing worse would be for them to do the Nazi salute to him.

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

We know what their motives were

I was offended to see the one guy drink his soda and throw the can on the ground. Litter bug! So rude.

Fake news!!!!!! MAGAROLLERCOASTER WhitePower KAG2020LandslideVictory

lady10314 They want hate to reign. Dump them.

To some of us it was A ok meaning everything good nothing wrong or wow I like this or everything fine. This white power nonsense seems like a media contrivance to create click bait

JaredoTexas To be a leftist is to be disengenous. Every day theDemocrats show that whatever they freak out over, only matters as a political tool. Never believe their histrionics & never kowtow to them. When someone says 'I'm a Liberal' you automatically know that they're full of shit.

PayDownTheDebt They should be dismissed it is sad to see how this sentiment is pass generation thru generation just sad 😢 no human being is superior God created all equals

MalcolmNance “Certain contexts?” Way to whitewash the issue Call it by its true name WhitePowerSign TheyAreRacists

Future military officers lacking discipline, the academies are failing to instill self-discipline or so it seems. They should be expelled, if true.

Stupid people doing stupid things. Thank God it’s winter or else Antifa would be upping their game. I can’t stand the morons on both sides.

Stop it. Stop perpetuating that stupid myth about that silly sign. You make me want to cancel my subscription when you go along with all the rags on this non-story.

RadioFreeTom They know the motives. I expect WestPoint_USMA and Annapolis to follow through, not whitewash this behavior.

RadioFreeTom Somebody ought to tell him Joe Biden does it all the time he was a vice president under Barack Obama

slpng_giants It’s trendy to flash fascist hand-signs. Started on the 4chan Nazi boards years ago and morphed into a casual group identification symbol

RadioFreeTom It’s the circle game. It was grab-ass. Nothing more. I swear, some people clamor for anything they can be aggrieved by.

RadioFreeTom Oh, FFS knock it off!! 🤦🏾‍♀️🙃

McClain_on_NFL Know the difference

RadioFreeTom That's hilarious! Motives Just Expel their WhiteSupremacistAss! UGHHHHHHH🤬

Motives, Schmotives! Unacceptable! These white supremacist Nazis are supposed to be officers in the Services! You're kidding, right? Or is that the theme of the Military these days - anyone not White and 'Murric'n are to be hated and killed. Go pardon a few more war criminals!

RadioFreeTom The areas where they were recruited from should solve this.

RadioFreeTom Trying to? Geezuz, can you call out the facts? We have a white nationalist prez that has enabled this crap. You all seem incapable of seeing the obvious. Do you support it? Stake your position.

RadioFreeTom Devils Triangle 😐

Does the honor code have a 'whoopsy' clause?

RadioFreeTom Motives? - really. Their behaviour was appalling & public. So should the punishment be but I won’t hold my breath

This is nuts! I’m trying to determine what “context” exists to renew me subscription!

nathwice Lots of excuses being proffered in the comments for the white boys, yet again. We have a tainted SC justice who got a pass for bad behavior. It matters that there are consequences, because these cadets are expected to be leaders. Can they be trusted with other people's lives?

There is NO white power hand sign.Grow up.

It is the stupidest posting I’ve ever seen. What’s next, waving is a sign of white nationalism.

slpng_giants Terrorism suspect giving this sign in Christchurch court after murdering 51 civilians

slpng_giants It means they’re white supremacists, Sherlock.

Motives? How much clearer could those motives be?

EricBoehlert You mean the same white power sign Stephen Miller flashed on tv and still has his job?

tinyboo49 Motives? Find out who they are and remove them from our military.

For all those that didn't serve - that symbol is just a 'made you look' symbol in the military. Incredibly childish, yes. That said, those cadets aren't in the military - they hold no rank. Upon graduation they will be. I'm a vet with 20 years in.

slpng_giants

They’re just trying to be like the commander in chief

Motives, you really don’t know? Product of the enablerinchief. Racists

they're effen racists and wanted to show it. That's the motive. Expel the mofos and get back some dignity

“Trying to determine the motive”? No trying necessary. They are bigots, racist,white supremacist hoodlums in military uniform. Court martial for conduct unbecoming an officer. They surely aren’t gentlemen.

mydoggigi The Grand Klookan of the KuTrumpKlan was there.

This will be settled and the country returns to normal in November 2020 when President Trump is re-elected; the Republicans retake the House and extend their majority in the Senate; RBG dies and is replaced by a pro-life strict constitutionalist; Schiff and Nadler are censured...

Hey wall street journal, have you ever heard of 4chan? It’s a site where people go to troll. This whole nonsense was started on their site.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand their intent. Just sayin’.

Woke military officials are more concerned about the circle game instead of wasting American lives and treasure in endless wars.

I do not give a bat’s fart what these guys’ “motives” were, they publicly shamed WestPoint & Annapolis. This looks like officers searching 4 anything that justifies ignoring this. Which will say a lot abt academy norms. What if it’d been brown or black guys flashing gang signs?

'In certain contexts' - our editors told us to lie

Motives? Our tax dollars should not be used to salute and honor racists. Kick them out.

AOC flashes White Power sign

Quick, cadets, get your stories straight!

I’m sure realDonaldTrump will ask them to the White House. It’s the new Republican hand signal.

The motive of flashing white powerful signs on tv? Probably to please Trump.

Seems pretty damn clear to us “normies”

“The OK sign is not the OK sign and you know it.” - Every desperate, neurotic leftist everywhere.

... could it be ... lemme make a wild guess: motherFuKKKing racism?!?!

These are not smart ass teenagers playing a game. These are the best and brightest America has to offer. I think they knew exactly what they were doing. Embarrassing their Academy and their country, giving them the benefit of the doubt. Should be dealt with accordingly if other.

I think we might need some sort of woke manual. I have no idea what a ' white power' signal is .

ann_crossley Motive? Who cares! It was inappropriate

Disgusting.

Bet it was the upside down okay symbol what savages

Determine the motives? What the hell kind of headline is that? The motives are clear

Let’s see one of the cadets chugged a soda down crushed the can then dropped it right next to a black cadet. Pretty self explanatory I’m sure they’re parents must be so proud.

NavalAcademy WestPoint_USMA HINT: It’s movitated by racism

This is idiotic

“That in certain contexts”

You embarrassing clowns

That’s it burn everything down because some college kids were goofing around🤣🤣🤣, the freak out is real. Good grief every grown man knows the circle game but yeah let some fringe numbnuts redefine a game we have been playing for decades.

With crooked role models who graduated from Westpoint in the Trump administration. This is what these cadets are learning.

Motives? Hmmm 🤔 Was POTUS there?

They might be racist assholes. Just a guess.

Disgraceful!

Lets get everyone fighting with everyone else again. Works every time. Lol

Smearing cadets... quite a look.

Air force academy had a fake situation like this.

Harry’s hand gestures

FedtheEffUp1 We didn’t know!

NavygirlLaura I want that soldier on my MAGA-rally security detail, alongside all the atrocity-perping war-criminals I'm about to pardon...

I Thank thejointstaff for taking this seriously

It’s not rocket science-kick them out now. If they’re that stupid they shouldn’t be there in the first place.

I don’t think they have to think very hard. Thank you Donald white nationalist Trump.

Just another example of the lefts inability to see anything but hate.

Circle game ... nitwits

Oh

Grow up

Thank goodness! I was almost scared!!!!!!!!!

That’s not a racist sign. It’s a freaking “Hawkeye.” That’s 2 for looking Recruit ! ! !

If it is true that these West Point cadets flashed the white power sign, look for Donald Trump to pardon them and then offer White House staff positions.

Trying! Really? Send them home.

amayor Certain contexts ? Really!

Lots of hand gestures used

Maybe it has a special navy meaning.

They’ll be kicked out. As they should be.

Racism. There. Solved it for you.

Trump will give them their honor if they get kicked out

EricBoehlert gee wiz dont break your brains tryin hard to figure that one out annapolis. smh plainasday kkkadets

Nazis are infiltrating the military. This should make ever anti-fascist uneasy.

This is a hoax

They better!!!!

Utter bull that is NOT anything but a white supremacy signal stop pretending it’s anything other.

It doesn’t even matter what their motives were, whether they thought it was just a big joke or not. It was ugly, inappropriate, and disqualifying. If nothing else, cadets should understand that actions have consequences. They should be expelled.

Dismissal should be eminent this is horrendous behavior and shows a breakdown in true leadership that builds character and integrity

The “motive”? Oh FFS.

Don’t bother. Just expel them immediately

Not even white supremacists associate the ok hand sign with white power, its literally a leftist conspiracy based on Drumpf's common hand motions.

Go for the profit tweets like all the others. It's a nice bump in ad revenue from the off topic fake 'gotcha'. Media is about profit... not TRUTH.

EricBoehlert West Point and Annapolis officials are trying to determine the motives of service academy students who flashed hand signs on national television that in certain contexts are associated with “white power' ----------------- 'Motive'? No. 'INTENT' is the RHETORICAL QUESTION.

Pretty sure the motive was to troll you so hard you would look like a special person. Bless your heart.

Conduct unbecoming! They should be kicked out or held back.

colleen_benn They did it behind cadets of color. Come on.

. WestPoint_USMA is still trying to figure out whether these racist psychopaths should be in battlefield foxholes with black and Latino American real patriots. AMDG

Motives...

Expell them. ArmyNavyGame

Need more information

Kaepernick

who gives a crap about whether or NOT college kids are being college kids and whether they flashed some'secret' sign,give me a break, but where is the media when a White Coed is brutally Killed by a gang of misfits who's parenting must have been horrendous

4chan was behind the ok symbol, it’s “comedy”

Uh...how is this news? Dumbest thing I have ever heard. 👌

Until trump tells them not to investigate.

Will be interesting to see if they're just as enthusiastic when their Dear Leader sends them to the front lines of a contrived war.

The Funniest thing About the Sign is that it was Created to Trigger Libtards into believing it meant White Power, to see just what kind of stupidity they would take on board. The fellows at 4 Chan did it as a JOKE. It Never Had any real connotation behind it! Click Pic

And ?

We have a growing “white power” problem in the military. How many of those white supremacists also show an allegiance to Putin & Russia?

They clearly did the “white nationalist” sign on camera. It’s disgusting.

Stop smearing these cadets. They were playing the silly Circle game. Any non-liberal fascist would know that. Wow!

As a veteran I’ll expect nothing less than a court martial for conduct unbecoming an officer!!! That’s not my military!!!

Their motive is obvious.

Stop!!! It’s just an ok 👌🏻 sign grow up WestPoint_USMA don’t let the FakeNewsMedia destroy innocent lives EnoughIsEnough

HudsonRiverCroc You are fake news.

'possible?'

Oh Mkkk. “Trying to determine the motives” “West Point officials” full well know the “motives” I mean it’s West Point, not tRump U- it’s not rocket science.

Good.

That is not a natural, normal gesture for people to make by accident. If you believe this is accidental or innocent, you're either a moron or a racist.

It’s a game! You look at the circle and get punched - why is this a thing

It’s broadly known as a white supremacy hand signal. It’s impossible to believe these cadets are ignorant of this common knowledge. And impossible to believe that so many of them timed their display without coordination.

Either they made WS hand symbol, or they played a stupid game (that we all know people use to flash the WS sign on tv with plausible deniability )knowing that it was controversial. A, or b. Racist, or deliberate conduct unbecoming. End result is exactly the same

If realDonaldTrump still had a legitimate General in his staff....

Publish their internet search histories, ought to clear it right up

Clearly keeping 4chan (and fake outrage/racism culture) alive, the OP is a legend.

... i think we know the motive

I can say this with certainty, they weren’t saying everything was A-OK that’s for sure.

Petty obvious to me. It’s a symbol of hate and death. Fascism at our military academies. I’m sure our WW2 vets, and their families, that died fighting fascism would approve. cc: NavalAcademy WestPoint_USMA

I love to needle the Dims, too. It's so easy to get them going. They'll believe anything - even Russia Russia Russia. 😂😂😂

racism is as racism does. That's the motive.

Gee, that's gotta be a challenging investigation. Wonder why white males would flash racist hand signals?

Motives? You've got to be kidding. It's pretty plain. These must be rich kids w/o any world experience or maturity. They must be booted or else West Point and Annapolis will represent white supremacy.

bUT ItS tHA cIRcLe gAMmmm

EricBoehlert Didn’t look like a mystery to me.

if they flashed the WP sign, they should be drummed out of the military. no place for that.

They should consult these experts

With huge smirks on their faces.

JFC

'Determine the motives'? It was clear what the motive was. This is just another way of saying 'How can we cover for them'.....

pjkool The people here who are saying, 'This is stupid,' will be saying, 'Huh, look at that,' when these idiots are sent back to their hometowns to work at Arby's. Because that's coming.

This is like saying “we are trying to identify the motives of a white nationalist shooter who murdered multiple African Americans”. Trying to identify the obvious is not going to buy you time WestPoint_USMA. Get rid of these white nationalists before they target Americans.

The motives ? They’re racist!!!

Weed them out

EricBoehlert Motives? Seriously? They should be looking for suspension/dismissal papers. What damned motive do they THINK these jackasses had?!

Spend five minutes on Twitter and realized it was five too many.

Glad to see everyone just picking their normal side and ranting, very few actually caring about the truth...

Can we just take the people who associate it as a hate symbol out and ridicule them?

Please don’t fall for this liberal idiocy.

Wow all you people out here that know that the mids/cadets 'knew exactly what they were doing'... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 really Wow... Such ignorant conviction in your assumptions... Just like everything else...

EricBoehlert the motive is racism ! what even are you trying to portray

Throw them out.

EricBoehlert They flashed these signs beside and behind black cadets on national television and laughed about it. They should be expelled.

The reason is pretty darn obvious!

Oh no....just what we don't need....but why should it be any different than 'black power'?

Good

The officials should be fired for ruining lives because of internet trolls.

They did it to troll idiots who think it's a white power symbol.

EricBoehlert “In certain contexts?” Oh WSJ the shoulder shrugging ambivalence is so on brand. If it were black cadets throwing gang signs the FOXholes would be apoplectic. This article contains 19 percent Saudi Arabian ink btw.

shareitarie10 It’s not in certain contexts. It’s in all contexts since Stephen Miller made the entire nation aware of it.

👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

“Trying to determine the motives”? Really?

Give me a break you dumbarses. It is a game!

EricBoehlert Like you have to wonder what their motives possibly could have been. The SS raising their arm to salute Hitler must have been a benign act too.

EricBoehlert Give me a fucking break ! They damn well know their motives and they better fucking kick them out or the Twitterverse will handle it by outing them and making their careers short lived

WP = West Point. come on. This ain't hard.

EricBoehlert

Oh come on, you're the WALL STREET JOURNAL. Don't be idiots.

Okay 👌🏻

APPLE IS A WHITE SUPREMACY SYMPATHIZER 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

How is anyone defending this? These boys were behaving badly and are due consequences.

Motive? Racist! 🤮

If you feel like saying White Power... fucking do it. No need to hide behind some gesture where people can say that it is or it isn’t. Be about it! Don’t hide!!

It’s a GAME! Must you people see race in everything? I realize you all want to be victims, but most of the time, you’re just looking.

FFS....no. Just stop.

This cannot be serious.

Circle game

So is Steph Curry promoting white supremacy as well?

Wow this country is really crazy now, people will paint you racist for doing the ok symbol. Plus I see kids make the symbol all the time.

An article like this without pictures but usin stock footage is a break down in editorial dummies

Great work on completely destroying your legitimacy, WaPo.

Kick them out. I served in the Army, and grew up an Air Force NCO's child, and the Armed Forces I knew would expel--immediately for good cause--racist deviants.

They showing their true colors who they are for real. I wish government stop lying to the people. But I also wish for world peace. That ain’t ever gonna happen either.

What is the harm in just assuming it is the circle game and moving on?

The motives are clear as day, they want to be mustered out.

The motivation? THIS GUY

Even if they weren’t doing the white power sign, the immaturity that many of them exhibited was incredibly embarrassing. They look like tool high schoolers, not students of a top military academy.

What do you think their motives are? Dismissal from the service. Now.

Fake news

Their motivation is not relevant. It is very well-known since the Zina Bash episode that this is interpreted as a white power symbol by many ppl. They cannot play dumb on this- their poor judgement has brought dishonor on the Academy & themselves.

It's listed by the ADL as a hate symbol. Used by Nazis during their marches & photo ops. By Alt-right & white supremacists/nationalist/separatist when they preach genocide of anyone not white/straight/Christian but by all means, blow smoke up my ass.

People so SAWFT these days. It’s a kids game where hold the 👌 sign below your waist and if they look at it you get to punch them.

Stop the insanity !

“Trying to determine the motives...” um, how about - b/c they are racist?

'trying to determine the motives'? Are we supposed to believe it was an accident? Hand cramp? Stop acting like we don't see what's happening in the US. These racist pigs are getting bolder & bolder. We're not too far off from brown shirts with how this gets 'poo pooed' by the MSM

deep state media was able to turn a college football game into a Race hate war! The deep state media is so corrupt! Voters have to reject the deep state!

Good lord

i cant believe people still think that sign is anything but an ok sign. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This headline is a tortured way to minimize racism.

Making an Okay sign is now racist? As I watched the game, I thought about how Greta Thornberg must be fuming over the carbon footprint the game created!

Well that should be a short investigation.

I still play it with my idiot friends

Liberals mad over a 4Chan symbol lmao

This is so incredibly stupid.

LMAO 😂 You people have fallen so far so hard. Beyond our wildest expectations.

Ridiculous!!! Time to GETALIFE

The linguist gymnastics in that headline is staggering. Those were white power sign that were used to show they ascribe to those beliefs.

Called the circle game

Huh?

The motives of something that rasn't racist? propaganda isnt news.

Na verdade só vi o poder negro atuante pedindo direito na época que estava ensuportavel a opressão quando os panteras negras resolveu reagir contra as dores e sicatrizes sofrida pelo sistema.

it is my sincere hopes that West Point does not condone this type of behavior.

😂😂😂👌🏼

There is no context, ever, in which the circle game is associated with white power

Their motives are the so called leader of our nation is also a white supremacist bigot who abuses the office to go on twitter rants bullying anyone he can. It starts from the top. If thats their example they are given the green light on BAD BEHAVIOR! DISGUSTED w/ALL OF THEM! 🤬

Wow... sad to see our military brass throw young cadets under the bus over the circle game. Stop listening to the leftist outrage mob.

If by certain conexts you mean moronic contexts

Really? Have to determine the motive?

Must be a slow news week when you have to pretend the circle game is a white power symbol. You know it isn't. .

There is no such ambiguity of that gesture in Italy. There it means asshole

So no one thinks it stands for West Point?

Everything can be ‘White Power’ through the eyes of a racist. How is Black Power NOT racist but White Power is? I see a fundamental inequality based on race here. When has being proud of oneself, including own race and ethnicity, become racist? When racist Democrats seek power.

The media is stoking the fire now and are preparing to goad West Point into burning these cadets...

IDIOTS!

The circle game is still triggering media and leftists alike

One of them was. Another sailor pushed his hand down.

The Union Jack and St George Cross flags have for many been tainted by their adoption by right wing groups in the UK. Both the NF and BM used these flags. Tricky when there are centuries old patriotic associations with both flags

People are so lame.

👌

This is how idiotic are press has become.

There is literally NO context in which this is associated with “white power”.

Oh for crying out loud

These service academy students may have destroyed the flag waving and patriotic symbolism of the traditional Army-Navy game since this racist incident will be brought up at every Army-Navy game in the future. They should be expelled and perhaps prosecuted. Future generals indeed!

There be WhiteNationalists in the military. Timothy McVeigh would be so proud.

RaeMargaret61 What's to figure out ? They're clearly making a racist hand sign...meaning they are racists!

Stop criminalizing the military -or anybody else for that matter- over each leftist conspiracy myth. We’re no longer in the Obama years. Enough.

RaeMargaret61 'In certain circumstances' ?!!!! They flashed white power signs, they and everybody else knows it.

O. M. G. As I just tweeted in longer format, this is the stupidest story that has ever garnered attention from serious news outlets. How are you not embarrassed? Ashamed? Is this kind of trivial silliness what you really went to journalism school to cover?

Did you guys cover this? Just curious?👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Wrecks the whole credibility of the military.

Like it’s so hard to discern. Jfc.🙄

“WHY WOULD SOMEONE USE WHITE SUPREMACY HAND SIGNALS?” They wondered. It’s a fucking mystery

Maybe Obama knows

russia and china are lolling right now.

That would be a 'yes'. They knew exactly what they were doing.

It’s the circle ⭕️ game. It may be childish, but that’s what it is. I’ve been around the military for over 40 years and it’s never been a racist symbol among the troops.

I’m starting to wonder if the anti defimation league is so fucked up by the president that they don’t know what is scary anymore.

Let's not forget StephenMiller, giving the WhitePower signal with BOTH hands.

WestPoint_USMA purge those hateful brats.

😂 every former jock in America knows this game. Woke America must be all nerds

Literally no one outside of the press thinks of this as a white power symbol. It’s it really a joke where if you look at it it means ha ha you looked. Yeah some stupid hateful people did it but it’s been a game way longer than nazis used it and there winning or u associate it wit

'The sign took on a different significance for some people around 2017, according to the Anti-Defamation League, when it began to be used to signify white power.' - a sign that has existed for a long time is said to be used by the bad guys so no one could use it anymore?

Riiiiiiiight!

It’s the circle game. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This can’t be a real fucking take .... ffs

Some of the replies on this are beyond idiotic. You say the symbol has been “co-opted”? So, if whitesupremacists decide to start high-fiving each other, will that also magically become a racist gesture?

Also associated with the circle game and signing a-hole.

Media shit stirrers

Still on this nonsense?

It’s the fucking circle game!!

Who started this?

Fight me.

Ok

White power come on stop with all this craziness

SO we're back on this again? The WSJ is the enemy of the people.

Why is the WSJ parroting this BS. Didn’t you learn anything from the Covington fiasco? I thought you were better than this.

Are they chcking this to

Carry this bullshit down the hall. Many thanks to the great men and women in the service academies.

Their favorite book is „Mein Kampf“

When the commander in chief is a massive racist who's completely upended military justice by pardoning war criminals, any cadet who doesn't openly proclaim his white power maga allegiances on television will not succeed in his career.

It’s unprecedented that someone would flash hand signals. No one has ever done this in the history of the world.

Don’t be idiots WSJ. The media is saturated with them already.

I have heard that bad people also sometimes use the word “the,” so everybody watch out for this. WestPoint_USMA

Hey ArmyWP_Football ArmyNavyGame NavyFB CocaCola CocaColaCo do we need to BoycottCocaCola ?

U.S. Army battling racists within its own ranks

Probably liberals just looking for something to bitch about.

As a Veteran of color, I sure hope they were just playing the circle game. I’d be absolutely disgusted if they were representing white power.

You’ve got to be kidding me

Okay

Yeah, no one knows what they're doing... SMH

This is a ridiculous non-story, wsj. Thought you were better than this.

RaeMargaret61 'In certain contexts?' Like what Kkk ralies?

What sign?

I don’t know, try looking straight at the “commander in chief”. Not that big a leap.

Court martial

RaeMargaret61 The motives? We can all tell you that jfc

turns out, they were scratching their nose...or Heil Hitler!

Thanks Trump MAGA.

Trump will pardon them.

In all certain context, Rupert Murdoch owns the - he has racist to protect

🤔it IS puzzling, isn’t it?

I saw it and couldn’t believe it. WTF?!?

🙄

Steven Miller. Say no more.

MSTW A real head scratcher.

What a joke

Spare me the white power bullshit there’s so much black on white violence it’s ridiculous

You mean like these The worlds gone mad!! Just STOP!

Trump will pardon them and make them generals.

you know, they breath oxygen, you know who else breaths oxygen? the Mongolian hordes.

The motives? Uhhh, they’re racist. Investigation closed. You’re welcome.

Made you look.

Omg!! Stop!!

And if anyone says this is anything but a white power sign, they are as racist as the jerks throwing it up.

You know, they had army uniforms on. You know who else had army uniforms? The NAZIs

So... freaking... dumb

Good God. Not the OK sign again. FFS

you know, they had white hats on.... do you know who else had white hats? the klan

I hear it’s just a silly “circle game”

It’s called the circle game. Anyone in the military knows a out it, you utter hacks. EnemyOfThePeople

And the way the white cadets shove their white power hand gesture in the black cadets face is absolutely disturbing...

This is so absurd

Privilege or idiocy? Your choice...

The weekend RichardJewell is out, the media elevates Twitter b.s. to smear military cadets as racist. UNBELIEVABLE.

Seems the only logical solution is to nullify the game results, disband the US military and impeach Donald Trump.

lol, that's the ok sign

What other possible motive is there for doing so, intentionally, on a national TV shot? This didn't happen in a context that could be unintentional. At best, they think it's funny to pretend to be racists, which isn't behavior the military should tolerate.

Just stop, there is no such thing

Possible?

Expell the cadets. They don’t deserve to wear the uniform.

Certain contexts? What other contexts could their be?

Lol seriously?

Cubs Sign Sammy Sosa To $300 Million Deal Just To Give Casual Fans Point Of ReferenceCHICAGO—Extending an olive branch to fans who stopped following the game in the 1990s, the Chicago Cubs reportedly signed right fielder Sammy Sosa to a 12-year, $300 million contract Friday. “We’re excited to give casual fans a recognizable name that they can cling to,” said general manager Jed Hoyer in reference to the 51-year-old, clarifying that they hoped to extend his contract well into the 2050s “if things go according to plan,” and adding that the slugger was in far better shape than fellow outfielder Kyle Schwarber. “We recognize that our current core of Anthony Rizzo, Jon Lester, and Javier Baez just doesn’t move the needle for most fans, so we wanted to make a big splash this offseason. We considered signing Mark McGuire and Randy Johnson, but Sammy’s brand recognition really won out for us. Plus, he’s already played for the Cubs.” At press time, Hoyer revealed the team was cutting costs by parting ways with Wrigley Field. who is this r kelly MrSoprano21 The new & improved Sammy Sosa.
