Will a White Supremacist Please Step Forward? | Power Line

Will a White Supremacist Please Step Forward? | Power Line
"The demand for white supremacists vastly exceeds the supply, which is why we see absurdities like the controversy over military academy students supposedly flashing “white power” signs at the Army-Navy football game.
Now, apparently, the age-old “OK” sign means you are a white nationalist, notwithstanding that there are pictures of pretty much everyone in public life giving the sign, like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and nearly everyone else.

  • To no one’s surprise, two investigations have concluded that the midshipmen and cadets who flashed the “OK” sign were not expressing white nationalist views, but rather were playing “the circle game.” Which sounds dumb, but so what?
  • Of course, that doesn’t mean that “OK” hysteria has gone away. On the contrary: School Spends $53K to Reprint Yearbooks Because Students of ‘Various Races’ Made ‘OK’ Sign.
  • A high school in the Chicago suburbs is reprinting its 2018-2019 yearbooks at a cost of more than $50,000 after school officials spotted photos of students making “OK” hand gestures.

...This is all craziness, of course, but it is craziness with a purpose. 
The Left is desperate to keep its racism narratives alive, no matter how threadbare they may be.
...The goal is political, and is focused especially on the 2020 presidential race.
Likewise with the “OK” sign.
I don’t have a high opinion of the intelligence of the average liberal, but even Democratic Party reporters are not dumb enough to take seriously the idea that Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and the many millions more who have given the “OK” sign are closet white supremacists.
So what is going on here?
Obviously, as noted above, the demand for white supremacists vastly exceeds the supply..."
