A number of posters with the message “It’s OK to be white” appeared on the Susquehanna University campus Friday morning and were promptly removed.
The university’s president said the posters violated campus policies. While the signs did not contain hate speech, President Jonathan Green said in a message to students, faculty and staff the language has been associated with white supremacy movements.
quote:
“Our concern is that this action is believed to be associated with indirect recruiting tactics for these malicious organizations,” Green said in the message.
“We encourage all members of our community to remain vigilant and report any concerning activities," Green said. "I hope this will promote conversations across campus that affirm our shared values of inclusion push back against these acts of propaganda.

If that were the case, the signs would say "It's best to be white."
Being "ok" is not a sign of supremacy. At least that's what the AT&T commercials are telling me.

Put up signs with similar verbiage for gay, black, Asian, Latino, etc and watch them stay.

To be fair it hasn't been ok to be white for a while. So the sign was a little misleading

Is this named after Elizabeth Warren's family?

That's technically not wrong but that's why we use context.

"It's okay to be white" and people think, "ugh, fricking racists trying hard to get a reaction".
"It's okay to be black" and people think, "that person is brave and is doing an honorable thing by showing that it's okay to be black among racist white people".

Same thing happened at East Tennessee State over the weekend.

If I still lived in Louisiana, I'd spray paint that slogan around every single pot hole I could find. I bet you'd get those things fixed real quick.

Should have made a whole campaign of it
“It’s alright to be white”
“It’s not wack to be black”
“No need to panic if you’re Hispanic”
“It’s not mental to be oriental”
See which ones get removed

Probably not protected speech either, the Hulk sometimes identifies as a white male...

Whoever put these up should now go put up 'It's OK To Be Black' posters.
