Which ultimately proves my point. The only way the four letters in OP works is the name of the letters b,m,p,w.
It's clear with context. Otherwise you're just arguing with the dictionary.

This is a policy change to standardize the language across ALL THINGS divisive TO hate, removing loopholes for enforcement.
So you can keep looking for conspiracies and feed into the GOP narrative that "libs are out to get us!" OR you could READ THE POLICY!

You change the language so someone can't argue "it's JUST black face!"
Also, in section 1.a it states "The Coast Guard does not tolerate the display of divisive or hate symbols and flags,
including those identified with oppression or hatred."
Therefore, IT'S STILL CONSIDERED A SYMBOL OF HATE!

So being removed from service because something is called divisive instead of a hate symbol is a lesser punishment?
That's the problem? Really?
The policy prohibits both, meaning people are punished uniformly whether they wear black face or threaten with a noose. It's all unacceptable.

2. Prohibition.
a. Divisive or hate symbols and flags are prohibited. These symbols and flags include, but
are not limited to, the following: a noose, a swastika, and any symbols or flags co-opted or
adopted by hate-based groups (etc.)

Yeah, the problem with this is that no one actually read the policy, which still strictly prohibits the swastika and noose in the CG.
But you keep getting angry because WP misrepresented the policy and you didn't want to look up the publicly available policy.

It really is a massive scandal when the Washington Post posts misleading information and everyone spreads it like wildfire because it fits the narrative.
No one stops to do their research. They just get more angry. And Washington Post banks that money.

I'm so tired of this story. It's misleading and has been since it first broke.
The policy standardized the language but does not "downgrade" and treatment of these symbols.
Did anyone actually read the policy? Because I did....
