How did the OK sign suddenly become a white power symbol? I know I'm old, but I just don't get it.

Racist white power types hijacked it. Now It can be hard to determine what the symbol is being used for. This has happened before and most certainly will happen again in the future.

What else are they going to say? Do you think they would admit to using a white power symbol?

1SG (Join to see) - I strongly disagree that you have a clue on this, so let me help:
1) To say that they wouldn't admit to that is tantamount to saying that they were lying. I directly asked if that was your intent to call them liars. Your "doubt they would admit" is a disingenuous response. 2) You should be at least familiar with the Honor Code at the Academy. As such, you would know that they wouldn't lie about this regardless of the potential punishment.
