The headline to this WMTW News article reads: Further, the articles states: What the signs actually said: Supposed Neo-Nazi or white supremacist graffiti or pamphlets appear in Maine newspapers and television reports every now and then. The ones that are actually shocking invariably turn out to have been done by a leftist.
I read, on local news app, that some residents here found a flyer on their driveway, and some inside their mailbox, talking about the demographics here and it had KKK on the bottom. Some of these residents gave the flyer to local law enforcement (JSO), but that was all that was done. Investigation or anything else done...…..never said. Apparently this isn't the first time this has happened here.
The signs have been showing up at dozens of college campuses across the country and neo-nazi groups are suspected of having a hand in it's spread, which appears to have been started innocuously. "Posters and stickers containing the sentence "It's okay to be white" have been placed in streets in the United States as well as on campuses in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom.[1][3] The slogan has been spread by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, and racist groups including neo-Nazis and white supremacists." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_OK_to_be_white
ROFL! Certainly, it is not okay to be white. The very thought of it is scandalous. Only a Nazi would think such a thing.
Well, you left out part of your reference. It's okay to be white[1] or It's OK to be white (IOTBW) is a slogan based on a poster campaign organized on the American imageboard 4chan in 2017, as a "proof of concept" that a "harmless message" would cause a media backlash.[2][3] _______________________________________________ 4Chan... lol. Appears that they did indeed "prove a concept."
No I didn't. Maybe left it out in the quote, to emphasize it's spread, but DID refer to it in my words, when I wrote "started innocuously." The link was provided for you to check the whole thing for yourself.
It just chaps me that white people must be muzzled or risk being labeled White Supremacists or some other bull. We aren't allowed White History Month, White Lives apparently aren't allowed to Matter, there's no White Entertainment Network ... the list is endless. This is the stuff that true racism is made of; we are not all treated equally and there is a sharpening divide. * *This editorial remark brought to you by Beth. No references provided for an opinion.
C'mon Beth. In school we only learned white history, white lives matter so much that we forget black lives matter TOO, and the white entertainment network is on every channel.
I believe that if racism really exists, then we are all racists, and if it doesn't exist, then we are all humans. One or the other.
Sorry Lulu, but we were in school in a different time; I seriously doubt that now only white history is taught. (Which I honestly don't recall as "white" history; more of American History, World History, etc. The fact that more white people had major roles in our history cannot be dismissed, no matter how many Confederate monuments are destroyed.) And any decent human does not believe that black lives don't matter, so why the divisive rhetoric?
So, when discussing racism, segregation, etc., how would we include the black colleges and universities in America?
