This reminds me of a chan troll campaign where sheets of paper were put up on college campuses telling 'it's okay to be white' and the words would be taken away one by one until the blank sheets of paper were a message of hate. I didn't see that happened all the way through yet but this guy got fined for literally his thoughts.

    4 chan did a troll campaign years ago parodying college style activism by having people put up random pieces of paper that said only "it's ok to be white" around various college campuses. And sat back and munched popcorn while people were freaking the fuck out about an imagined KKK plot while others were pointing out that there is clearly nothing overtly wrong with that statement and anyone who doesn't think it's ok to be white is a racist. Very funny.

    The idea was to slowly remove letters from the pieces of paper until they were just blank pieces of paper, then laugh as people freaked the fuck out over blank sheets of paper. Or random pieces of trash. Didn't go that far.

    This was back during the "it's impossible to be racist towards white people" B's where people were confusing the academic idea of institutionalized racism with the actual common definition where it just means treating people differently because of their ancestry.

    Why are you talking about that like it's in the past, it's only gotten worse.

    The refrain has changed the tune is the same.

    Now it's "everything is actually about slavery"
