So, it has a lot of meanings. <br /><br />Look at all the example photos you posted - they're all holding up their hands and making the sign. Look at him - he looks more like he's getting ready to air-ski. Hands down, like he's holding poles. Look at his legs and feet - he's been caught in the middle of some motion, he's not just standing there. I'd like to see a video of this moment, rather than a still photo. <br /><br />So I'd say - take him at his word, but watch his future actions. If he's a white supremacist, that will become plain enough. If he's not, that too will become plain enough.

Then I read about people being charged as racist, cancelled, and fired for using the gesture. I folded. <br /><br />I am curious how many people know that the meaning of the gesture has been changed. I suspect a lot of people don't, which creates a problem.RedpineWIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090922055117048730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-41689912585665193302020-09-06T08:36:04.517-04:002020-09-06T08:36:04.517-04:00I am with you here.

This is an uncommon and weird gesture to make, so if there is an alternative explanation of why he was making the gesture, he should just go ahead and say it. Otherwise, a white power sign is the most reasonable explanation. Now, could it be that he made the gesture without fully understanding what it means? Sure. Maybe he picked it up from some white bros back in Ohio and was stupid in thinking that it was somehow cool. But the motive doesn't change the meaning of the gesture. Once again, all it takes is for him to say: "I was not making a white power sign. Instead, I was making a gesture that [fill in the blank]." This is not hard to explain away if he truly didn't mean it.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598986884013906432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-21307482540552265552020-09-06T07:02:06.022-04:002020-09-06T07:02:06.022-04:00Held upright it would be the OK signal.

It means "I'm O.K.", e.g. I can breathe. If someone signals "are you O.K?" (same sign) and you do not respond, the presumption is that you are in an emergency situation. The training is intense. Even years since I last dove, it is hard to unlearn.<br />RedpineWIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090922055117048730noreply@blogger.com
