It amazes me how there are so many people stupid enough to react exactly how the people who post these signs wants them to. Again. How many times has this kinda thing happened now? Maybe it's time to try a different approach.


They're at a bit of an impasse since ignoring it can easily be seen as "Please, continue".

People act like there was riots

People who would see that denial of attention as an endorsement are mistaken. That being said, every institution out there should just respond by saying something like "yes, at so-and-so we recognize that being any race is okay, including being white"

You would endorse it either way. Unless you think it's not okay to be white?

Good thing whining about incessantly made them stop forever! And it certainly didn't make them look racist at all! A normal sane person would have just said "ok then" and went on with their lives.

Even discounting that not being a big deal, giving negative attention to this just riles people up and feeds the narrative being pushed.

from a 2018 study

https://twitter.com/ImHardcory/status/1136571984744239104

Remarkably, white liberals were the only subgroup exhibiting a pro-outgroup bias--meaning white liberals were more favorable toward nonwhites are the only group to show this preference for group other than their own.

Nothing wrong with being any race.

The issue is implying that there was ever a time when it was not acceptable to be white in this country.

It's like saying "It's okay to enjoy eating apples." No one said otherwise, makes it suspicious that you'd bring it up in the first place.

CE's resident racists seem to not understand that "Context Matters".

"All Lives Matter" was started in retaliation of "Black Lives Matter" because their simple racist minds couldn't understand that the context behind it.

"It's okay to be white" is the same thing all over again.

Well, to prove that implication wrong one certainly wouldn't want to track down and punish the ones who say IOTBW... because that's proving their point. And no one wants to punish anyone who says "It's okay to enjoy eating apples" so I don't see the comparison.

I think that you guys are missing the point.


Nah. If someone gets suspicious about a benign sign about apples, theyre probably hyper vigilant and paranoid.

If the apple thing is just a stupid example and not meant to be taken literally, use a non-stupid example to make your point. Otherwise youre just proving the opposite of what youre trying to prove.

In order to get to the point, they would have to spend a minute to actually think about it. But that doesn't fit in with right-wing outrage culture.

If the left wants to continually advertise hatred towards whites, they cant be mad when whites begin to hate them back.


You have to be dumb as rocks to not see how ironic this stupid ass statement is.

What really happened is all the whites hating minorities finally resulted in some minorities hating whites back.

Then the whites freaked out and started crying like 3rd grade school girls because theyre so oppressed.

As a 100% white person i think anyone saying stupid shit like this guy did is a moron.

Neo-Nazis in Tennessee, what a gosh darn ding dog shockaroonie.

be careful. you're not allowed to call them that until they commit genocide

Gosh darn diddley do, I better not call them, and all the new accounts supporting this, Neo Nazis ever again. It would sure be a shame if I were to do that.


I've taken to seperating my tagging between accounts that are actively running actual neo nazi recruiting tactics and swarms on the board, as Neo Nazis, and those who easily identify with it to the point of regurgitating everything they say, because they love it so much as born nazis, in reference to Dorothy Thompsons breakdown of the frame of mind types in her 1942 article 'who goes Nazi' as they may not be practicing or active, because they fear blowback from overplaying their hand and the nazis failing, but if the extremist groups ever gain power, and they dont have to worry about civil society anymore.... you can bet your ass theyll be gleefully goosestepping.

What would people say if someone put up a flier with the same statement except in place of white, it said black, and those were taken down and they hunted for the ones responsible? What might many think about that scenario?

The whole argument relies on the idea that there is no reason for anyone to actually say its okay to be white because nobody has ever said otherwise. The counter to your example would be that plenty of people have said otherwise, therefore it is not suspicious to post such a sign.

Honestly, what if we just did these signs for every type of group there is out there?

It's ok to be Asian
It's ok to be gay
It's ok to be a nerd
It's ok to be a jock
It's ok to be a racist

....wait no, not that last one though, but I hope you get my point.
