It all started about two weeks ago near a Black Lives Matter rally in Poway when Emmanuel Cafferty, a San Diego Gas and Electric employee, encountered a stranger on the roadway.

quote:

The stranger followed Cafferty and took a picture of him as his arm hung out the window of his company truck.
The picture made the rounds on Twitter accompanied by a claim Cafferty was making a "white power" hand gesture made popular by white supremacists groups.

quote:

"I don’t know how long it's going to take me to get over this, but to lose your dream job for playing with your fingers, that’s a hard pill to swallow," Cafferty said.


quote:

Cafferty is Mexican American and says he comes from a diverse family of all races. He says he's proud of SDG&E for taking any allegations of racism seriously, but he wants his job back.

quote:

NBC 7 spoke to the man who originally posted the picture on Twitter. He has since deleted his account and said he may have gotten "spun up" about the interaction and misinterpreted it. He says he never intended for Cafferty to lose his job.

A few years ago 4chan ruined the circle game by trolling everyone and convincing people that the OK hand sign was a symbol of white supremacy.

I like how the article says the "ok" symbol has been popularized by white supremacists

We can debate whether it's actually a controversial sign coopted by trolls, but "popularized"?

Yeah, it didn't really get much use until 4chan came along

Didn't it come out that the "circle sign" as a white supremacist sign was just a 4chan troll job to see what they could get people to believe?
