Wrong Wrong Wrong

Who was it who said, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."? Oh yeah, a nazi propagandist. The Cubs organization has gone full lib-tard, believing bullshit and embracing their inner leftism:
  • The Cubs said they are investigating an incident in which a fan sitting behind NBC Sports Chicago reporter Doug Glanville “more likely than not” used a racist gesture on air Tuesday night.

    The fan used the gesture while Glanville, who is black, was making an on-air report during the Cubs’ 5-2 win over the Marlins. It’s been associated with white nationalists and right-wing trolls in recent years.
The Slum Times cites the Southern Poverty Law Center, itself credibly accused of racist practices in suppressing speech they don't agree with by invoking the dreaded "racism!" charge. They did the same thing with the Thin Blue Line flags/patches. They've also been successfully sued for their slanders.

The Slum Times wasted no time in slobbering all over the Cubs for their social justice warrior-ing:
  • The Cubs did the right thing Wednesday by indefinitely banning a fan who’d made a hand gesture that team officials believe was intended to be seen on TV “in a racist way.”

    The fan made the gesture on air behind NBC Sports Chicago reporter Doug Glanville, an African American, during the broadcast of Tuesday’s game against the Marlins. If the intent was to be racist, as it is when the gesture is used by white supremacists, that’s intolerable.
The Cubs didn't even pretend to "investigate" anything, but sent this fan a letter banning him from the park forever. Fine, it's private property, they can admit or ban anyone they want. But their statements as to why are suspect and very close to actionable - which is why they aren't identifying the fan.

The gesture in "question" is the OK sign. It's part of a game we played in grade and high school, commonly referred to as "The Circle Game." If you got someone to look at your hand when it was held below the waist, you got a free hit to the arm/shoulder. You can read about it here.

During the most recent presidential campaign, a group of Dark Web hackers and pranksters at a site called 4chan decided to begin a joke that claimed one of the most common hand signals in the world was now a symbol of a tiny group of malcontents. The media ate it up because it allowed them to criticize people associated with the Right as "racist." Even the Anti-Defamation League spotlighted the hoax.

But that isn't going to stop the Cubbies from "virtue signaling" that they're anti-racist now after the shellacking the elder Ricketts got for actual racist thoughts in a letter. Also, don't mention that they employ a wife-beater/abuser. They need a scapegoat.

Is the Slum Times going to criticize and ban this racist?

I never knew the ok sign was a white supremacist symbol. We need to heighten racism by whites especially through the media. We should start by statistically compiling white on black crime like the number of rapes committed by white men on black woman in 2018. Real rapes not the made up ones I see in the movies. Then we can flip it the other way and analyze rapes committed by blacks on whites. Then we can move to violent crimes, murders and the such. First white on black, then black on white. Once we develop a trend analysis, will the media plaster our findings from coast to coast like the Glanville case? I really need to understand where real racism is emanating from in America but I don’t want to be bullshitted about an ok symbol unless it is collaborated with other evidence. Interesting, my wife and I have NEVER engaged in any racist initiative against any blacks but we sure have been recipients of racist actions by blacks against us.

I am in my 70s and remember people using that described hand sign years ago as meaning everything is fine, or in agreement, or this is great. I used to watch the original Little Rascals (Our Gang Comedies-Hal Roach Studios-1922 to 1944). I believe there are close to 100 films. One of the black child actors, William Thomas aka "Buckwheat" was very young would use that hand sign and say "Oh Tay" instead of OK probably because of his young age. It was so cute and everyone loved Buckwheat. When comedian Eddie Murphy was on Saturday Night Live he would do the character of Buckwheat and hold his hand up using in that position and say "Oh Tay". I thought Murphy's imitation of "Buckwheat" was a tribute to the memory of William Thomas. Maybe I was wrong maybe their both really white nationalists or racists! These left of center loonies would like you to believe white supremacists and racists are multiplying like a cockroach colony.

You may start to notice that normally reasonable people have lost their sense of fundamental logic. They become irate over discussion of certain topics. Polarized attitudes.

The fan would have gotten in less trouble if he dropped trou and flipped the bird. The fan will be ostracized by his peers and even family. He may lose his job over even percieved racism. What the Cubs did to the fan is indeed actionable, but in whose Court?

Chicago used to be a City full of ethnic neighborhoods that worked together. People were happy with: Chinatown, Greektown, Bohemian Village, etc. 'Somebody' decided that we need to lose our heritage and traditions so that we may more easily manipulated. Borders need to be erased, they said or you are painted as a racist. Look at the erasure of culture and tradition in Europe. This is not progress or by accident, it is by design.

We need a Detective to identify the Group pushing this agenda so they can be confronted.

Obviously, they are liable for overreacting to the innocent gesture of a devoted Cub fan.

Barring a public apology, In litigation v. Cubs, include a 6-figure punative damage claim for emotional distress, humiliation and defamation of character.

Every white person has been the victim of racist actions for at least the last 50 years. We've been cast asidevin schools, graded with tougher standards, had our pockets picked to pay for their free bees, others have been raped, robbed, pillaged, murdered. Whi's doing most of the crime?

Stand up and turn in your cubs tickets. Write the owners abd call them racists. Stop paying for slumtimes and fibune subscriptions, do not visit mainstream media news outlets, do not buy products or services from companies promoting this lie. Start filing law suits against the real racists for slander and hate crimes. It's not just the community badly behaving towards whites. There are many peaceful ways to say enough. Buy cheap houses in the ghetto and knock them down to make open land.

As the poster at 12:16:00 AM said, the guys over at 4chan trolled (pranked) the Social Justice Snowflakes with the 'OK' hand sign.

Which is just the latest by those 4chan rapscallions, only a month ago they pranked the leftists with Clown Emojis -- that Clowns are White Nationalist symbols. (rotfl)

And that was a follow-up to long-running 'Pepe The Frog Is A White Nationalist'(lol). Dr. Jordan Peterson even got caught up in that brouhaha when he posed for a photo with a couple fans of his after a speech and the guys unfurled a Pepe The Frog Banner.

The really funny thing is that there are probably less than 1,000 actual White Nationalists / Supremacists in the entire country. And even fewer actual 'Nazis' and Klan Members. But to hear the Leftist Social Justice Warriors tell it these racists are around every corner.

On the other and, our society IS threatened by a group of racists and bigots -- but NOT from the Right, but from the Left. From the Black-clad Antifa thugs who abhor Free Speech, from the Socialist politicians selling personal slavery with a smile and a promise of More Free Stuff. And promising to crack down on that mean speech that hurt your feelings, yeah, they'll stop that alright.

Then there are the threats from the card-carrying Communists who are once again sticking their heads out from the rocks they've been hiding under. Carrying their Hammer & Sickle Red Flags in public protests and with small print on placards; 'www.cpusa.org' being carried in marches. They promise everyone will be equal. Though they don't say, equally poor, equally miserable, equally hopeless.

But first, watch out for that OK hand symbol, Clown emojis, and Pepe The Frog. Those are 'real' dangers. Friggen a-holes!

But yet the flubs are having TWO "gay" themed promotions at games this year. What about the "feelings" of people who disagree with the alternative lifestyle being endorsed? Hopefully these games are not played on a Sunday, so I can go to Chick-Filet-A instead.

Emotional refuge comes to Wrigley.
If you paid your admission. look too white, make any hand signals, utter any unrecognizable words, you can be ejected - indefinitely.
Seems they’re going to like United Airlines and call baseball security police to drag you out by your lips and ears. And no refund on the ticket.

Yet the feral candy boys are so resilient and resistant to bans, rules, laws.

I was told I couldn't walk on the sidewalk outside the park during a playoff game without a ticket. Downtown Chicago was shut down so bunch of drunk millennials could celebrate the world series.

It’s a bit much to just bury all of this as cubs being a lib-tard organization. The ricketts are huge republicans, so if the team was going off the deep end here, there would be some pushback. The fact is that while the gesture isn’t always racist, racists DO use it, and a private organization has the right to make the call they want. If had to choose between banning one idiot who wanted to get on TV (regardless of the intent of his gesture), and potentially looking like I was ignoring a racist - I’d just ban the idiot and move on

I like how they were able to know the intent of the fan. Because that hand gesture has a legitimate use, as mentioned, the circle game. But the cubs organization decided they knew what the fan was thinking. Also interesting when the media decides its a white supremacist sign and when it’s not. Basketball players use it all the time after hitting a 3, but it’s not a white supremacy sign then? What if the player is white? Then is it white supremacy? What’s the deciding factor in whether it’s the “okay” sign, or a 3 point gesture, the circle game, or a white supremacy gesture? Is the deciding factor who uses it? That doesn’t make much sense. When they use it? Also not much sense. I’m curious as to when it goes from a legitimate use to white supremacy. Inquiring minds would like to know. It’s almost like you would have to know the intent of the person using it, not just that fact that it was used.

Could you name your source and show proof of your statement that racists do use this hand sign ? I have a little more experience than most people concerning this type of thing due to my job.
I am aware of the O/K sign, the high school game described in the story and the fact that in some areas of Europe and many 03rd world cultures if a person makes the gesture in your direction, they are calling you an assh*le.
There is a faction of people in The U.S. who will Identify themselves as 3% ( google American revolutionary war 3%) but they are not organized or known as racists by agencies who tract these things and they do not use this hand gesture.
Either you're buying in to bullshit or you're a troll my friend.
As for your statement he just wanted to get on TV, it appears they set the shot up and he had no say in the matter.
Your statement that you would rather see an American citizen punished than have someone possibly perceive you as a racist speaks for itself and I will not comment.

The scum times Chris Fusco, McNamee and so called reporter Matt Hendrickson have added to the white supremacy myth that doesn’t exist. On orders from Kim Fusco allowed cop hater Hendrickson to write an unsubstantiated hit piece on the CPD for having the nerve to question their incompetent girl, Kim. The new plan is to call everyone and anyone a racist or a Nazi or white supremacist if they do not agree with Kim, Lori, Jamal and people and folks. Also they must attack the president or they do not pass the Fusco-Hendrickson litmus test of decency.

I grew up in the Slag Valley neighborhood on the south side. We used to play this game when I was in grammar school. Got our arms punched many times and had a lot of fun. There are so many ways to get one of your friends to look at the OK sign as long as it was below your shoulders. We'd sometimes make circles around out eyes with both hands and squat down and a friend would look to see what we were doing, then see the two circles and know they were in for not one but two punches in the arm. The only way to defeat looking at the OK circle was to jam your index finger thru it, then you got to hit the other guy. Good times, and in no way, shape, or form was this racist. Freakin social justice libtards will make anything racist.

While I think this entire “controversy” is ridiculous, you have to admit that there's something to be said for context.

It's interesting that you mention the “nazi propagandist.” Neither Hitler nor the Nazis invented the swastika. The Hakenkreuz (hooked cross) was used as the symbol of the Finnish Air Force until 1945, but its roots go much farther back than that.

“The Swastika is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. It is also a sign of spiritual purity. The swastika was a letter in the ancient Sanskrit language. It meant luck or well being. It is also found on Byzantine buildings, Ancient Greek coinage and in Native American burial sites” (https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika). It wasn't until the early 1930's that it became stigmatized by Hitler. So this symbol, rooted in innocence, was subjugated by these monsters, to the point where it's display in Germany is unlawful. There used to be a building in the 2600-block of north Central Park, on the west side of the street, that featured swastikas across the top of the building. Should it be demolished?

Are we going to allow that to happen to the “Thin Blue Line” flag, and/or the flag stylized after the American flag that features grey & white stripes and a single blue stripe?

There isn't a symbol under the sun, including the sun that hasn't been co-opted by fringe or outright criminal groups.

Where will it end? Will the Cubs' “W” flag be viewed as racist because White begins with the letter W? The W is on a white background after all. Perhaps it's a racist symbol too.

The “OK” symbol is widely used and accepted every day.

In addition to the normal, everyday indication of “OK,” I've used it on every scuba dive I've made. “The first-hand signal that most scuba divers learn is the 'OK' hand signal. Join the thumb and index fingers to form a loop and extend the third, fourth, and fifth fingers. This signal can be used as both a question and a response.” (https://www.thoughtco.com/common-hand-signals-for-scuba-diving-2963222)

This hand signal is also used to indicate understanding by SWAT teams (https://funkertactical.com/news/2014/03/03/standardized-hand-signals-for-close-range-engagements/). Yeah, I know. All SWAT teams are racist too.

SCC, you're right when you say that this is a political move by the Cubs to say to an overly-sensitive portion of the public both Black and White, “See? We're not racist!” and to bury Ricketts' racist comments in the letter that got out.

It is yet another example of the media, particularly the dead-tree media to create controversy where there is none. They have no qualms about setting us against each other. As a matter of fact, it seems that they actually thrive on it. Without controversy, “news” is boring. You can't sell ad space with boring.

At the end of the day however, people need to stop being so damn sensitive about everything. We tell our children things like, “sticks and stones,” and to ignore their siblings when they're teasing you. Has our society become a bunch of five-year-olds who can't deal with the fact that there are idiots out there, and there always will be? Grow up. Breathe in, breathe out, move on.

Two-thirds of the voters in the 44th Ward had a problem with the Ricketts family’s ham-handed attempt to oust Tunney. All those Omahans did was make him more powerful.

For the world series, the district spent and used a lot of manpower and all the Ricketts did was give us free pizza...shove it up your ass cheap fuckers. Every day the cubs play, the districts service calls go way up due to the parks bullshit. The time the Cubs were threatening to go to Rosemont I wish they had..I wish willing to help them pack!! The SOX are always grateful to police for ever year they offer free tickets to various games..what do the Cubs offer? NOTHING.

As an attorney, unless the cubs said “he is a racist” in an official statement, he can sue, but he’d be wasting his money. They’re a private organization and are free to ban people as they see fit. No claim for damage to character unless they specifically and directly make statements about him or his character. Interpreting his gesture and deciding that it offends the organization is protected by the same free speech that allows him to use it.

He had the freedom to do as he pleased, they have the freedom to do as they please.
