Then what's with all the "white privilege" and "check your privilege" BS? Very Nazi-esque. They did the same thing to the Jews in the 1930s: Find a scapegoat and demonize them as the cause of all of society's ills.
YES.
Hitler and the Nazis didn't rise to power because they fomented hate against the Jewish RELIGION.
They identified a group that was an ethnicity that they contended maintained all the power and money. They identified a group that held disproportionate control over institutions of art, government and finance. And they convinced everyone else that this group got rich and stayed rich by oppressing them.
From the caricatures to the slogans of 1935, what passes on black and brown media these days as social commentary and "critical race conversations" is often indistinguishable from Nazi's two minutes of hate against Jews prior to the holocaust.
The feelings towards whites in this society is a conversation we need to have. It is ok to be white. You don’t have to work toward fixing anything just because you’re white, you don’t have to see problems and you can have an opinion that shouldn’t have to be shared in secrecy.
I can't understand why anyone in their right mind would want to be white. Being prideful of having Irish ancestry, German ancestry, etc makes sense or of being American. But white that's pretty sad. Okay so you're prideful of being a Euro mutt with unknown ancestry LOL.

"We" don't need a conversation. Go and talk to people who aren't white, and not hey how's the weather. Non-whites are normal people like you, who have the same problems like you. We aren't Borg beings from Mars. If you guys are always saying, don't let those KKK Marchers give everyone the impression that all whites are evil, then don't think anti-fa represents every single black in this country
The most vicious anti-white sentiment is often found online. In spaces most frequently inhabited by children and teens who face these ani-white messages, and often lack the experience or maturity to think about the issues. All they see is the hate, the hashtags, etc.
I spend a good amount of time online.
I think that if people would read before they react, they'd see that there are plenty of people who are angry about some things that white people tend to do, but there's just not a whole lot of danger in being white and there IS some danger in being nonwhite. Especially with Trump and his crew in office.
So, maybe white parents should work harder to remind their kids that they are fortunate to be in what is considered the most socially acceptable thing to be for the purposes of damned near everything in US society, instead of stoking their kids' fears at what they might read online.
None of my kids think that they or their parents are hated because of whiteness. Because they have EMPATHY for other people.
I mean, at the end of the day, this sign was unneeded. Better parenting? Definitely needed.

Alas... who was the majority in this scenario?
Not the Jews.
Who actually had all the power?
Not the Jews.
Come on. False equivalency.

now how in the hell does saying that it's 'ok to be white' target or marginalize anyone?

We get it, ugga. You're proud to be white. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
I'm proud to be black. Do you have an issue with that? No, you don't?
Okay, cool.
