Seriously, the folks at 4Chan who came up with the joke on the OK sign have performed one of the best, if not the best ever, bit of trolling in the history of the Internet
(Yahoo Sports) San Jose State said Thursday that it would be ending its official use of the “Spartan Up†hand gesture because of the way the “OK†hand gesture has been adopted by white supremacists.
The gesture, created in 1990 by the school’s former band director, encourages SJSU fans to create a Spartan head with their hand by forming “a helmet with your thumb and index finger. Curl remaining three fingers over the top of the helmet, mimicking a feathered plume.â€
“We all agree that the gesture has become part of the fabric and footprint of our university, however when the gesture is used improperly, it can be offensive to some members of our university family,â€Â SJSU athletic director Marie Tuite said in a statement. “When our ‘Spartan Up’ hand gesture was misinterpreted as an ‘okay’ sign and not the proper gesture, the improper sign created a division in our campus community. It was timely and appropriate to make the decision to no longer use the hand gesture associated with Spartan Up.’â€
OK, so, what happens when students still do it? Will they be punished? And then sue the school for violation of their federal and state free speech right? How about alumni? Whatcha gonna do?
Teddy Roosevelt Statue to be Removed from Museum of Natural History
New York City’s American Museum of Natural History announced Sunday that it will remove a statue of former president Theodore Roosevelt from outside its entrance.
The bronze statue, which has stood outside of the museum entrance since 1940, depicts Roosevelt riding horseback accompanied by a Native American and an African American male. According to the announcement, the move stems from nationwide attacks on confederate statues and protests over the death of George Floyd.
“Over the last few weeks, our museum community has been profoundly moved by the ever-widening movement for racial justice that has emerged after the killing of George Floyd,†the museum’s president, Ellen V. Futter, told the New York Times. “We have watched as the attention of the world and the country has increasingly turned to statues as powerful and hurtful symbols of systemic racism.â€
“Simply put,†Futter added, “the time has come to move it.â€
Gotta wonder how many other things are Wrongthink in the museum. It’s a museum of history, they apparently can’t deal with history. Say, let’s go check the Metropolitan Museum of Art, bet there’s something we can cancel.
#CancelYale trending on Twitter nationwide
Yale University has come under fire Saturday through tweets pointing out the university was named after Elihu Yale, a slave trader.
The hashtag “#CancelYale†started trending nationwide on Twitter.
In one tweet, from Jesse Kelly, around 12:30 p.m. Saturday, he said he called on Yale to “change its name immediately and strip the name of Yale from every building, piece of paper, and merchandise. Otherwise, they hate Black people. #CancelYaleâ€
The university has previously been brought in the spotlight in August 2016 for a push to rename the Ivy League campus, starting at the top with Elihu Yale, “slave trader extraordinaire,†as he was described in a story then by the Wall Street Journal.
In today’s #CancelCulture Yale would need to be ended, not have their name changed. Jesse Kelly also noted that the founder of Georgetown University, John Carroll, owned 100 slaves, and should be Canceled. And that everyone with a degree from Yale and Georgetown should give up their degrees. Obviously, Jesse was trolling, and pointing out the hypocrisy of the SJWs. But, like I tell people when they says “what about X?”, don’t give them ideas, because they are in a cancelling mood.
