I get that hate groups have latched onto the slogan. I'm tired so wondering if anyone can explain, apart from a hate group hijacking, what's wrong with the statement? I'm happy to hear all sides of this. Thank you

There is no hate group attached to this slogan. It's a troll to show how racist society is against white people and how law enforcement and the media apply different standards based purely on race.

It's proof positive that whatever you say in defense of white people, you will be called a hateful, racist white supremacist. "Hate speech" never had anything to do with promoting hatred, or violence, or anything like that - it was always about attacking pro-white sentiment.

God knows what normies think the statement represents, but the slogan literally means "it's okay to be white" - that's it - it's not bad or wrong to be white - it's okay.

It started as a 4chan meme to get people to bite onto the fact that it's not okay to be white and to see how gullible the population is. There's nothing wrong with the statement.

What hate groups? This was started by 4chan as a way to highlight bias against white people. Simply saying "it's okay to be white" is somehow bad and constantly demonized. At the end of the day it doesn't matter your way of thinking, or how you feel, you're white and you're evil.

I think their idea is that the phrase "it's ok to be white" implies that there is a narrative that it isn't ok to be white out there which they don't want to spread. I do find it funny that they use this implication as grounds for removal but "black lives matter" should just be taken at face value. BLM in the same way removes the emphasis of all lives mattering.

There's nothing wrong with it, that's the point. It will rile up and expose leftists for what they are, anti white racists.

It's up there as a favorite of mine along with "Islam was right about women". That one does have some wrong things about it IMO, but leftists can't acknowledge it, without by their own rules being islamophobic. It makes them short circuit.
