Just letting everyone know I am OK! PIC

IF that guy was actually attempting to indicate a "White Power" sign I abhor that as much as any kneeling or other signs of hate.
During my entire lifetime this hand sign indicates I am OK and I will continue to use it to indicate I am OK and hope it pisses off some liberal who purposely misinterpret it.
Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

Another use for the OK is to make the sign with your right hand and use your left index finger to run repeatedly back and forth through the hole in your right hand. Do this if you GOT SOME and want to share your success with the world.[}:)]
I don't understand when it became a sign of White Supremacy either.
I remember in 1986 my Unit was deployed to Jordan. We did some Airborne Operations with the Jordanian SF and jumped out of their C-130's and we used each other's Jumpmasters.
Well I was the Jumpmaster for the Jordanian soldiers and I was told not to use the OK Hand sign, because it was bad in their culture. I was told to use the thumbs up. I asked what the OK hand sign meant to them and was told it was a sign of the evil eye.
We used the thumbs up for the "All OK Jumpmaster" Hand sign and all was well.
It seems they don't use it in the Airborne anymore either. Now they slap hands[V]
My last Airborne Jump was 2006 right before I retired and I was in Airborne units for all of my 25 years in and a Master Parachutist both static line and Halo for 20 years.
Should've done the "Thumbs Up" to avoid this "White Power" silliness.
No ! Do not let them corrupt your everyday, lifelong habits and meanings of symbols. !!!

It's the universal sign for OK for divers. Nothing else acceptable under water. Above water a fist on the head. I suppose that is racist too.
The thumbs up is for boom up.

But to address your first part of when it became white supremacy, there is no such thing as white supremacy or we would have shipped them all back to Africa already. [;)]

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
