Just ban all racist content. [/bq]
Define racist content. Hint: you cannot, blanket bans like this are absolutely idiotic since they can and will hit "good" content and be exploited to target it explicitly.

And yeah the OK symbol is a white supremacist symbol now cause they wont stop using it to ID each other. [/bq]
Ha ha lol go think about it instead. You ban OK symbol, what do supremacists do? _*Use another currently safe symbol_*. What do you do? Are unable to use a perfectly benign hand gesture without getting branded a racist. Which nicely demonstrates my first point, too. OK sign is an example of the good content that can easily be targetted by selfish and blind-sighted bans, with no malice or even actions whatsoever on the banner's part. *It can be done to things you know and love.*
