It's not provocative, but by my experience most people (not all) who use statements like this are the people who also confuse "america first" with "america only".
It's okay to be a white person. And there is no white priveldge. Non white people just use white people as an excuse for their shortcomings. And if we're going to talk about privledge, then i guess we should talk about asain privledge then.
O but I wonder if it said it's ok to be black on the same person would that be a problem. I'm just so sick of racial shit I'm not built like that I see everyone the same
Im going to say stuff. Be open to learn from each other. If im correct, u were raised not to see race. The reality is its a different experience being white and being black. As a white person u have pull urself by the bootstrap and make something out of urself (work hard). As a black person, there is no bootstrap due to the unfavourable system and the majority have to be extra at something to be something. Not seeing race is in a world that sees race, is a misguided view.
And I'm sorry but I disagree everybody has bootstraps to pull just I guess statistically there's always been that excuse to be made just because of what color you are you are misguided to believe that. But it's about whether or not you want to be who you want or get to where you want in life I'm not doing as well as I want to be but I'm not able to blame it on my skin color. It's the ambition that makes us who we are this day in age not our skin color. I'd love to be able to be strong enough an influence on everyone and make it be known the "woe is me can go any direction bad childhood, skin color, born handicapped etc.. but I Kno many people that have overcome there dampers in life and succeeded better than most. Sorry just so damn tired of racial bias on both sides. It's ridiculous not one black person alive today was a slave except to there parents probably growing up but who cares be who you wanna be not who your brainwashed to think you are categorized as.. categorize yourself!
The misguided view is that the people who see race as an option for falling into the hood life which I've also been very much a part of in my past is not a view it's an excuse for lazy people to be lazy no matter your race.
Also there is a Opiod problem in the US and its also deeply affecting white families. All of sudden government officials think jail is not the answer and want to help these people. Now we demand that all those black men and women locked in jail away from their families for possession (non violent) should be released and helped to. But they say its not that easy
Also due to redlining, people of color were intentionally denied the right to purchase property, and those areas had less money put into them because they were communities of color... set up by the redline system. They had less access to education, healthcare facilities, and people of color were historically paid less (when paid). This led to the wealth gap, compounded by generations of white families earning wages compounded over those generations - handed down as wealth; while people of color were still slaves. Then there is the whole institutional racism factor.

I see no use in it
You're right, it serves no real function.
... is this a joke? It is obviously an activist statement in these times
I LOVE it and it's true. Basically, it's OK to be who you are. White peeps are peeps, too.
this tee reminds me a badge of mine that says "it's also cool bein hetero"
In theory it's perfectly fine but it definitely will come across as obnoxious and even offensive to some people.

I would find someone who wears that to be a dork, but I wouldn't give them shit for it.
Its nonsensical.
"Its better than okay to be white"
Racist
Nobody said it's not ok😂😂😂😂😂😂so it's just dumb
the shirt is fine and good
but lauren southern is an attention whore
I need to own one of those. It's sad though people need to be reminded of this.
Why should it being provocative make it bad to wear it? It's good to provoke people, makes them reveal their true character.

True
I love people for who they are not the color of there skin.. it was never an issue for me personally

I heard u. There r numerous studies that show how race affects employers choice of employees. Do ur research

Not really.
It's okay to be white. It's okay to be black. It's okay to be any race.
Pretty fk cringy lmao. But I wouldn't say anything I guess.
Provocative yes, racist or inappropriate no.
I feel like it's a nice reminder that white people are people too and not the monsters some make them out to be
maybe around the house but probably not when I'm going out
Yes, it's incredibly provocative and nobody should wear one!
Completely fine. It's true that it's ok to be white.
