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

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.
