The white supremacist stole the Marine Core Gadsden Flag and now the OK sign.
The Gadsden flag first saw combat under Commodore Hopkins, who was the first Commander-in-Chief of the new Continental Navy, when Washington's Cruisers put to sea for the first time in February of 1776 to raid the Bahamas and capture stored British cannon and shot.
And now they stole the OK hand sign.
It can be found as far back as Ring gestures and it appear in Greece at least as early as the fifth century BCE, and can be seen on painted vases as an expression of love, with thumb and forefinger mimicking kissing lips. In modern usage it is used by divers, it signifies "I am OK" or "Are you OK?"
But now they have been corrupted by the white supremacist movement and will forever be linked to them..
