Jeopardy is under fire for an allegedly racist incident during a recent episode. Jeopardy contestant Kelly Donohue used a white power gang sign to celebrate his victory, or so it seems. The moment instantly sparked outrage that a Jeopardy was promoting racism to the masses.
Kelly Donohue made the white power gang sign by holding his thumb and index finger together, while keeping his other three fingers extended in a straight position. He also tapped his chest after making the gesture, which is another alleged sign he was making a white power gesture.
Kelly Donohue Reacts to White Power Hand Gesture Accusations
Kelly Donohue has responded to the white power symbol accusations stating that he was only putting up three fingers to represent his third victory. He noted how he also did the same thing with two fingers when he was celebrating his second victory, which you can see in the video blow. However, there is one small detail he excluded. The tapping of his chest when he made the alleged white power symbol seems to convey it was more than just his way of representing his third victory.
Was Jeopardy contestant Kelly Donohue a white supremacist hidden in plain sight? Or are people really misconstruing his three finger tapping chest hand gesture?
The Jury is still out on this one.
