Wait, which hand shows the white power sign?

That's not a white power sign. Them's salsa hands.

Can you put your indignation into words or must you use hand signals to express yourself?

Neither Santos or Obama are doing the white power sign. What distinguishes it from similar hand gestures is that the three extended fingers point straight up and are slightly spaced apart to form a “W,” like this:

Yes, Mr. "Little Ice Age" (from 'The Lion in Winter' 1968 thread) I can put it into words. You're attempting to cover for George Santos and white supremacists in general. What determines whether it's a gesture made with racist intent is the context, and when it was made. Obama used an 'OK' sign during a speech in 2017, before the gesture's reassignment at the hands of 4chan had gone widely public. Its use by avowed white supremacists is now common.

R31, part of what distinguishes Santos' gesture as racist is the effort he takes to make it covert.

There are a hundred TV cameras and other cameras in that one room; how can it be covert?

by Anonymousreply 33January 7, 2023 12:33 AM

R32 It’s flamingly covert, complete with a flourish of his other arm as if he’s dancing the Flamenco while playing castanets!

Alice asks Humpty Dumpty “Must an OK sign mean something?“

He replies "When I see an OK sign… it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.”

by Anonymousreply 36January 7, 2023 12:46 AM

R33, he held his hand below, as if attempting to hide it. He is a far right Republican, and the use of the gesture to mean 'white power' is not inconsistent with that.

Perhaps you'd care to argue that, like darling Kyle Rittenhouse, who made the gesture in a photo with a bunch of Proud Boys, he had no idea that it could be construed to have that meaning?

Santos knew what he was doing.

by Anonymousreply 37January 7, 2023 12:48 AM

R31, you cannot use a photo of Mary Lou Retton from 1984 to try to make a point about a gesture that has only recently picked up another meaning.

[quote] The word covert is derived from the French word covert, which means covered, obscure, hidden. Covert is an adjective, related words are the adverb covertly and the noun covertness.

[quote] Overt describes something that is done out in the open, something easily observable.

by Anonymousreply 39January 7, 2023 1:08 AM

Yes, R39. The gesture is covert because he's not doing it with the hand overtly held aloft to answer the voting call, but with the one held below. There was no call to make the gesture at all; it's indefensible.

The clerk who accepted George Santos bad check had to pay it back out of HIS OWN SALARY so he wouldn't get fired. People like Santos have no morality. He clearly has NEVER paid a price for his own behavior. Just ask the clerk.

It' could be the white power sign, but notice that the fingers on his right hand are spread apart, and he's making the hole gesture with his left hand, three fingers held up?

That's Capitol code for "Glory hole, 5th floor bathroom on the right, 3PM".

EVERYONE who works in DC know that code!

To anyone who saw it and understood what it meant. It's a shout-out to white supremacists everywhere, and is also intended to troll or 'own the libs.'

A lot of shit started by 4chan has gone national and taken on a life of its own, like the notion of 'Antifa' as this big, nefarious boogeyman financed by George Soros. 'Pepe the Frog' has gotten away from its comic creator, and can never be recovered. And the 'OK' handsign has been adopted and used by white supremacists everywhere. QAnon began on 4chan. Most political conspiracies and disinformation (i.e. Pizzagate) start out on 4chan.

R52, I am too, you are not alone.

And can I just say, I have adult kids. What kind of country am I leaving my kids? I can’t even just die in fucking peace now because of them. That’s no bullshit. I know most/many here do not have children, but it really weighs on me to the point that I don’t know how to keep going — but I will keep marching, I suppose. I have never ever felt more hopeless and fearful about the future, I am afraid for younger generations here (and all over the globe!). I wish to fucking god I could sue Trump for distress and how this has impacted my mental health and relationships, yes, MARY, but there is truth to it for all of us! We should all be able to sue him for what he’s done to us as human beings.
