he “OK” hand gesture is among the 36 new entries added Thursday to a database of hate symbols used by white supremacists and other far-right extremists.

According to the Anti-Defamation League, the hand symbol began its circulation as a hoax by members of the website 4chan as a popular trolling tactic, saying the hand gesture formed a “W” and “P” for “white power.”

However, by 2019, the hand gesture started being used as a widely used expression for white supremacy.

The man responsible for the New Zealand massacre, where 51 people were killed at two Christchurch mosques in March, flashed an upside down “OK” symbol when he appeared in court, Al Jazeera reported.

“While some hate symbols are short-lived, others take on a life of their own and become tools for online trolling,” said Mark Pitcavage, senior fellow in ADL’s Center on Extremism. “We pay special attention to those symbols that exhibit staying power as well as those that move from online usage into the real world.”

You do not even need to be white to be a white supremacist.

 

Might be easier for them to list what is OK, so difficult to keep up.
