In Canada, at the University of Alberta, there are flyers going up around the school, with the words “It’s Okay to be White,” typed in black on a white piece of paper. There was an article on Toronto Metro that talked about one flyer that was posted to the Native Studies building, and this is being interpreted as being some sort of intimidating hate crime. Native Studies Dean Chris Andersen had this to say:

[I]“It’s juvenile, but these are the kinds of petty imbecilities that are symbolic of feelings of fragility and frailty present in mainstream society.” He continued to say that incidents like this, “have a longstanding history of caricaturing and attempting to diminish our cultures and communities.”[/I]

How long until we see those flyers on pool parties?

It's okay to be white. Posting on /pol/ is a definite bad idea however.

[Lonestriper]

Lmao same stupid logic as "healthy at any size". Being white is indicative of severe melanin deficiency which means higher rate of skin cancer. There's no such thing as "healthy in any colour"

Well, everyone looks different because of where their ancestors were from... So... You're healthy/unhealthy at a color/size depending on where you are.

[comet1337]

/pol/ is a joke way too many people take seriously

[Mister Sandman]

The best response to this would be no response, I think

imagine someone actually having this opinion

best and safest to assume this is a joke i think

[E_K_M]

It looks harmless. The only people who’ll be mad at this is either racists who hate whites or people who think whites are the devil

at least i can digest milk and don't have sickle cell anaemia

[Unkle Dada]

This isn't actually as harmless as it seems. This kind of rhetoric is meant to reinforce the narrative that whites are under attack, which white supremacists use to rope in more recruits for their movement.

When I first saw this post I just thought it was a joke but looking at your history I'm not so sure.

Also people with dark skin are at a higher risk of Vitamin D deficiency. But both the skin cancer risks and vitamin D deficiency risks can be dealt with by not being an idiot. So I guess we have a meaningless tradeoff~

It's obvious bait, sure. But I see no difference between "It's Okay to be White" and "Black Lives Matter", besides the more aggressive tone of the latter

The inspiration and purposes of each are wildly different.

no?

You are chatting shit.

This poster propagates the narrative that whites are somehow oppressed, that someone of relevance at some point stated that its not ok to be white. Which is utter bullshit, the only people who say that are Mugabe, idiot students, mentally unstable peeps and sinister hardcore conservative (not all conservatives) types who seek to spread and reinforce a narrative that benefits their agenda.

There are racial issues but in the US black peeps get the worst of it longer sentences for the same crimes, higher chance of being stop and searched (ironically leading to a proportion of stops leading to stuff being found), black families have far less wealth than white families. Posters/slogans/movements like this are there to stop anything being done about this, its saying "Whites are the TRUE oppressed minority!" which, [URL="https://www.runnymedetrust.org/uploads/publications/pdfs/WhoCaresAboutTheWhiteWorkingClass-2009.pdf"]while might be the case occasionally[/URL], is generally bullshit since the problem lies with class, not with race. I mean it originated with /pol/ so the intention is crystal clear.

[ethandennis]

I one of theses pop up in the news where i live.

[krakadict]

people legit getting offended at "it's Okay to be white" :weeb:

Let's not beat around the bush, it's /pol/ we know what they want, the outrage. That outrage is what they later use to build the movement.

The response to "It's ok to be white" should always be "yeah, it is". The fact that this get's to the news, that people freak out looking at this, that people catalog the sign as racist is what then makes people more naive go "Wait so it's not alright to be white?" and plays right into their plans.

The rethoric only exists because kneejerk idiots can't think before they talk.

"It's okay to be white" isn't something that needs to be said, anyone who's capable of critical thinking can come to that conclusion on their own. Either way if someone put those posters up without the same context it wouldn't warrant any response.

But since we know it's coming from /pol/, we know it's not sincere, it's pure dogwhistling. By using the false narrative that anti-racist groups and "SJWs" have racist intentions against whites they can push the real meaning behind it: "It's okay to be a white supremacist."

Therefore I think the response should be "It's okay to be white, but it's not okay to be a white supremacist."

[Doozle]

You need the critical thinking abilities of a crab to find no issue with this

[Helari]

a sensible way to counteract the subversion then would be to just hang very similar posters with different skin colors featured around. not even necessarily next to these ones, just in the same general areas.

too bad some people will just tear these down and confirm the line of thought involved. it wont matter if theyre torn down because people are supposedly racist against whites or because people happen to know the ulterior motives involved, it will still support the idea in the target audience.

:godzing:?

[orcywoo6]

Its funny though because so many sjws have come out of the woodwork getting triggered by this and tearing them up/saying its NOT okay. Pretty hypocritical considering how much they would freak out if someone did the same thing if another race was written on there.

[WhyNott]

OMG I just saw one of these flyers nailed down to a bus stop near my university yesterday

You are feeding into /pol/'s hand so hard it would be funny if the outcome wasn't so depressing.
Of course it's pure dogwhistling, but it only works because people are naive or don't know the entire context enough to fall for it.

However being outraged, pulling down the posters will only give them more strenght, not less.
That last quote is exactly what they are looking for, the response should never be that would mean that people link white with white supremacist. It's like saying "It's okay to be Arab but not a terrorist" or "it's ok to be a Woman but not a golddigger", it makes a link right off the bat however small it is.

If the response was a simple "yeah, ok" we wouldn't even have this discussion, it would have simply been ignored.

[Mallow]

Is it okay to be red with blue polkadots tho, that's the real question

[Tudd Fudders]

/r/Anarchism is having a very hard time reconciling what to do about this.

while i kinda believe most /pol/posters are master shitposters, to me it feels like a lot of people including the original jokesters have been taken over by their own game to the point where they are actually believing this shit
