Since #BlacksforTrump is trending, and people are posting this picture. Talking about the *Okay* sign. Let me throw some facts out there!
The entire saga started out as an online joke - taking an innocent and widely used gesture and pretending there was a sinister hidden meaning behind it, hoping to trick the media and left-leaning people into outrage.
It's a result of a deliberate hoax concocted on the internet message board 4chan, which in addition to its well-earned reputation as a gateway to the racist “alt-right” is perhaps more broadly known as the home of trolling culture.
In February 2017, 4chan users launched Operation O-KKK to "flood Twitter and other social media websites" with posts claiming the OK hand symbol was a "symbol of white supremacy," along with a picture of an OK symbol identifying the three up-turned fingers as a symbol for
"W" and the thumb-and-forefinger circle as a symbol for "P"
Here is a video of YouTuber Anthony Brian Logan explaining why the symbol is NOT White Power
This is the actual sign for White Power! One hand creates a "W" and the other a "P"
It's a deliberate attempt to “trigger liberals” into overreacting to a gesture so widely used that virtually anyone has plausible deniability built into their use of it in the first place.
Jim Hoft and a writer for his site flashed the “white power sign” at the White House Press Briefing Room, the trolls at 4chan responded with a hoax they titled “Operation O-KKK.” The plan?
Now let's jump into this *Trump is racist crap*First this is Kara Young #Trumps girlfriend of 2 years. she once said, “I never heard him say a disparaging comment towards any race of people,” It’s horrifying what happened at the rally,”
“I think it’s crazy, and I think it’s sad that this is where our country is.”
Don King who said "Every white woman should cast their vote for Trump"
“We’ve had this wild surge of new testimonials coming in the past few weeks, largely in the black community,” said Brandon Straka, founder of #WalkAway, a social media campaign for disenchanted Democrats leaving the party.
“They feel taken for granted, manipulated, and lied to by Democrats. They’re sick of the fearmongering.”

Trump has even received the 2007 Muhammad Ali Award at Celebrity Fight Night XIII, an annual fundraiser for Phoenix-based charities.
They are bitter political rivals today, but GOP front-runner Donald Trump once donated thousands of dollars to the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Youth Movement and did personal favors for him, National Review reports. The pair's relationship appears to have begun in the late 1980s

So i got more curious about #NorfolkSouthernDerailment @nscorp Southern after seeing them post a "Factcheck" article from USA today and on the USA today article at the bottom said it was paid for by a grant from FACEBOOK!
Last year, Norfolk Southern reported profits of $3.2 billion, a record for the company. Rather than investing in infrastructure, let alone improving the conditions for workers, the company has spent $18 billion over the past five years in
stock buybacks and dividends, that is, handouts to investors. nscorp.com/content/nscorp…

Governor DeWine provided the following updates regarding East Palestine today. AND I CALL BS

Lets not forget Christine Todd Whitman, who as head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under George W Bush at the time of the 9/11 attacks told the public the air around Ground Zero in New York was safe to breathe, has admitted for the first time she was wrong.
Whitman issued a statement. It said: “I am glad to reassure the people of New York … that their air is safe to breathe and their water is safe to drink.”

Lets see what the world has to say about the #BalloonShotDown The most plausible explanation for the events of the last three days is that the US military has begun shooting down weather and research balloons, with no serious explanation to the public or to the scientific,
meteorological or aviation community about the change in policy. The greatest intended effect of the series of attacks on unmanned aircraft over the US has been, however, the deliberate effort to whip up fear, panic and hysteria with the aim of making the US population feel
threatened by China, which is in reality being systematically encircled by US military assets deployed on the other side of the globe from American soil. wsws.org/en/articles/20…
