Why would the leftists be shocked when white people start fighting back. You cannot demean and demonize is endlessly and expect no response. IMO far stronger responses will come in the future than signs like these.

PC is just soft Tyranny. Some people now feel obligated to voluntarily give up their right of free speech due to societal, media, corporate, and government pressure.

‘It’s Okay To Be White’ Signs Pop Up In Fort Worth Neighborhood


LOL As if anything which came of a police "investigation" would hold up in court.

Liberal clowns are so amusing!

However, things ARE improving; and I think that if a healthy and intelligent person is poor these days, it is more likely due to poor choices, upbringing, and/or economic conditions than it is to the color of his or her skin. Otherwise, how could it be that many thousands of black families are in a higher socioeconomic class than many thousands of white families?
but thats not happening today at least in most of the country and if it is I assert its their own attitudes causing it. Why do they keep pounding in events in distant past perpetrated by those dead for centuries and imply they who did not suffer through this are due some compensation? Its quite well accepted that blacks even today can claim victim status due merely to the color of skin.
This naturally means whites are implied tk be victimizers merely by the color of THEIR skin.
How is this meme not meant to indefinitely perpetuate racism?

Wearing a MAGA hat is considered provocative and might even get you fired from your job if your supervisors are black.

What so good about being white? It's a generic term the descendants of immigrants who forgot where they came from. It's the absence of a defined heritage. It's a boring white bread term.

It depends on the context for most people but I see it as a generic term like acetaminophen is generic for Tylenol.


White however carries baggage for some people especially black people because pretty much it was a term at one time reserved for whoever was deemed to be part of the elite and then morphed into more inclusive definitions. But pretty much the only people that can never be white are black people so they will always be excluded and some see that term through that lens of whose in and whose out(at least that the impression I get). Does that make sense?
