Why are liberals losing their shit over "it's ok to be white" signs? Is it not ok to be white?

[Anonymous]

[Sara413]

Of course it's ok to be white.
No one says it isn't.
The people putting up these posters are reactionaries who are seeing threats that aren't there.

Personally, I just roll my eyes at this shit and go about my day, but I can see why someone who is part of an ethnic or religious minority might feel a bit threatened of uncomfortable. They know thst these posters aren't about it being ok to be white - they're about a fringe group of white people who feel threatened by non-white people, and for non-white people it can be scary to consider the logical end goal of those who are concerned about preserving whiteness...

[Brokenheartedx]

I'm from an area where it is mostly whites.. they're are few black families by few I mean less than 10 in town I live in... Becos it's a large Irish area n we to busy fighting amongst ourselves Catholics and Protestants to bother about this pig shit crap...

It's not ur colour it's are u a catholic or are u Protestant?

[Asker]

Belfast?

[Brokenheartedx]

No just outside Glasgow

[Asker]

So there's worse sectarian violence in Glasgow than in Belfast or Derry? Or is it just football hooliganism?
Also is buffalo Joe's down by the train station still going?, I met a great girl there.

[Brokenheartedx]

There was but it's mostly football related but still and undertone of it ESP on old firm days

No idea to your other q tho

[Asker]

Not so bad. Belfast still has "peace" walls

[Brokenheartedx]

I've saw them.. your police stations 10 foot walls barbed wire and cameraed up lol

[GayHowellMeme]

Today I got in a fight with a transexual boy on the internet, he said that I’m racist and a sexist.

It seems like he supports non-white people than us white people who don’t always follow the norms...

[GayHowellMeme]

And it’s okay to be white. Because I’m white and I’d like to test to be black even though I like my ethnicity.

[englisc]

Because this is the way many liberals think:

Well. . . why would you post it at indigenous studies center? Do you really think the indigenous have it better than "White" people? In fact. . . do they have it better than any single defined group, as much as they have lost?

[HungLikeAHorsefly]

It doesn't really offend me, but I can see how it coule trigger some folk. It implies that somebody thinks it's not okay to be white. Since most people are white and whites run the entire country and everything in it, it's a little ridiculous.

Then again, things like this always are.

[Soteris]

As far as I can see its because the reaction of "Its okey to be white" is really dumb.

Its like trying to rebuttal the gay pride movement by posting "Its okey to be straight"... The only reason someone would put something like that up is if they are thoroughly against the other movement at which point you can be rightfully upset that someone is supportive of racial discrimination.

[DonRomeo]

Against a movement? Maybe, maybe not. Nothing to suggest theyd be against dark-skinned people though. Theyre pointing out the neuroticism over supporting dark-skinned people exclusively, and 'positive' discrimination - not dark-skinned people themselves.

[Soteris]

@DonRomeo That is just a complete lie. People dont think its wrong to be white so this is an obvious attack.

[Asker]

People in America are being told that it's a bad thing to be white

[Soteris]

No they are not.

[Asker]

Have you attended college here in the last 10 years?

[Soteris]

No. You could not pay me to study in the USA but I have been there if that somehow makes me qualified to have an educated opinion.

[tartaarsaus]

Being white is generally accepted among pretty much everybody. It is just a stupid shirt in my opinion.

[Asker]

How do you explain the constant white shaming in soceity?

[tartaarsaus]

There are bound to be idiots who do that, just like people shaming or hating every other demographic. Most people are fine with people being white. I don't see why one would care about some idiots

[JimRSmith]

The people who are objecting to this don't like white people. Despite the fact that many of them ARE white.

Self-hating snowflake tosspots. The rest of us can safely dismiss their concerns with absolutely no worries whatsoever.

[Anonymous]

it's just more anti-white bullshit. Just ask the baseball team who had promotional "pride" days for gays, blacks, latinos, Mexicans, but were attacked and threatened when they tried to have one for "whites". It's just like how Black Lives Matter is a "good and courageous group helping spread awareness to black issues" while "White Lives Matter or even ALL Lives Matter" are continuously called racist hate groups by these people. I wish the world woke up colorblind tomorrow. :)

[johnnycool]

Liberals are losing their shit because those signs are tasteless. They're not helping in any way... It's not about white guilt or the "it's not ok to be white" narrative, it's just crass and it helps out in no way whatsoever.. it's just race bait bullshit...

[Rissyanne]

Because liberals hate white people... unless they are a celebrity that is donating money.

[HamAndCheese]

Because they generally don't like white people, men, heterosexuals, Christians, etc.

[Anonymous]

Some people want you to believe it's not okay to be white. You won't feel white guilt otherwise.

[Anonymous]

I ain't white and that is funny. People are so sensitive and butthurt these days. LMAFO!

[PrincessBunBuns]

Yeah it's OK to be white and any color, actually, but the fact that they're posting this around gives it a bad message because white people got this thing called "white privilege". Don't @ me on this.

[WeirdoWerdo]

What's my privilege? Coz at least with Buzzfeeds stupid privlige check I have less privlige than a black woman...

[PrincessBunBuns]

Why tf are you trusting Buzzfeed with shit in the first place lmao.

[WeirdoWerdo]

Gotta use the liberal media when arguing against some of them so I use Buzzfeed shit...

[PrincessBunBuns]

You're like 6, please go take a nap. Buzzfeed is cringe in general.

[Kranjec]

Nah the privillege is called affirmative action and is racist towards whites and Asians.

[Maik567]

So it's ok to be white but it's bad to say it out loud?

[Starrk]

@Kranjec

Get your story straight

Affirmative Action hurts Asians, not whites. How do I know this? Look at the Demographic of California's top universities once they got rid of Affirmative Action. Admission rates for Blacks, Hispanics and Whites all declined, while Asians were the only one that saw an increase in admission rates.

If the Ivy Leagues got rid of Affirmative Action the same trend would play out there as well.

[Kranjec]

Hahaha not look at yale and look at the jewish population. Not a whole lot of whites there. Also abandoning meritocracy for affermative action has caised UK schools to drop in world rankings. Same goes for US collages.

[Starrk]

@Kranjec

I don't know about UK universities, but American colleges are doings fine. As far as I'm concern the American Ivy Leagues are still considered among the best universities in the world.

As for Yale I don't know why you felt the need to mention that.

[Asker]

@Starrk lol safe spaces...

[Kranjec]

Why talk about the elites instead of the average? You can also find an article about how UK unis forced to focus on diversity are falling in world rankings.
Also me pointing out how Yale gives preference to jews is important regarding affirmative action. You can also find an article on wall st. journal highlighting how affirmative action has 5% of the population meaning jews occupying almost 50% slots at Harvard and most other elite Ivies, wheil non-jewish whites are the most under represented of all.
- Ron Unz, "the myth of American meritocracy"

[Starrk]

@Kranjec

American universities are falling in the world rankings you say.

http://webometrics.info/en/americas/usa
www.topuniversities.com/.../2018
www.timeshighereducation.com/.../world-ranking

Well according to practically every site I've came across, American universities are still dominating the list of best universities in the world. So what exactly are you talking about?

As for Yale and it's Jewish population, that has nothing to do with affirmative action. Jews were accounting for a large portion of the Ivy league's student body long before Affirmative Action was implemented.

[Asker]

@Starrk agreed white Christians are under represented at college

[Kranjec]

Again, you focused on the elite schools dominated by the rich elites/jews. You should take the average, such as the PISA 2012 results and look at how low you are.
Yale was a jewish uni for a long time by their own design and affirmative action solidified that.

[Starrk]

@Kranjec

Many of the Universities on that list are state universities, not Elite universities that only the rich can get into.

Also why are you bringing up PISA. PISA measures the performances of those who are around high school age (usually age 15). PISA is more so a measurement of the public school system (K-12), but it's not a measurement of public nor private universities.

Americas K-12 school system is average at best and that is no secret. However, like I said earlier, our University systems are top tier which is why you have more internationals coming to college here then vice versa.

[Kranjec]

And you think quotas set on race instead of SATs are not bringing those unis down? Go to "association of American medical collages" and look for yourself the acceptance rate there regarding the GPA.
Pisa also shows that same effect and how it brings down the whole system.

[Starrk]

@Kranjec

"And you think quotas set on race instead of SATs are not bringing those unis down?"

Apparently not if American Universities are still viewed as being the best in the entire world. The same Universities that uses Affirmative Action the most (The Ivy Leagues) are the same Universities who dominate the list of best universities in the world.

Also, the admission process for your average University take in consideration many factors. SAT scores is not the be all end all. If it was then a great portion of college students would be nowhere near a college campus. Universities also take into consideration other variables such as GPA, difficulty of classes taken in High School, geographical location, income of family, life struggles and whether you can bring something to the student body that the average kid can't.

The admissions process is a lot more complex then "Oh his SAT score is not that spectacular... DENIED".

[Kranjec]

Sure, personal achievements, skin color, etc... are taken into account. You advocating for discrimination and against meritocracy won't work, even with a corelation regarding world ranking unis, wheil there is proof that that same thing ruined unis in britain.

[Starrk]

@Kranjec

Meritocracy is a myth. And I'm not advocating for anything. I'm simply telling you how the world works. If you don't like it, well that's too bad.

- If you come from a wealthy family who can easily pay the high tuition of college then you will most likely be accepted.

- If your wealthy family give a $2.1 million donation to the school that you want to attend then you will be accepted.

- If you are an international student then your application would most likely be accepted.

- If you're an athlete then you'll most likely be accepted.

- If you come from some small Midwestern town, then your application would be put ahead all the other applicants who come from well known large cities.

- If you're life was filled with extreme adversaries, then you're application would be put above those who did not have such adversaries.

- If you're parents are alumnus of the school that you want to attend, then your application will most likely be accepted.

[Kranjec]

Sure, and I'm saying that hurts the success, Berkley should be a fine example, or any UK uni, even stanford is going down.

[Starrk]

@Kranjec

See your post doesn't make any sense. You mention Berkeley and Stanford, but those two Universities reside in a state where preferential treatment has been banned for 21 years. On top of that, their rankings are still very high. Stanford as of 2018 is tied with MIT as the 5th best University in the US. And Berkley is tied at #21 which is pretty damn good for a Public University.

This decline that you keep referring to among American Universities is not proven by any type of source that I've seen so far.

[Starrk]

@Kranjec

Did you read any of those articles or did you grab the first one that you could find that mentioned Affirmative Action.

None of those articles says anything about Affirmative Action lowering the ranking of universities. If you actually took the time to read them, you'll see that both of those articles are more concerned about the effects of Affirmative Action on minorities, not the institution.

[Kranjec]

Sure, the graduation rates are important to the collages, same as in the UK, that is why most YK unis are dropping in rankings.

[Anonymous]

I didn't know it was ever not ok to be white. I just find it tasteless to post it on Indigenous Studies.

[Anonymous]

Lol if I saw this I'd laugh not get mad at it

[Asker]

So is it ok to be white?

[Opinion Owner]

Of course haha
And I'm black by the way

[Asker]

It's ok to be black too.

[Opinion Owner]

Thx:)

[Sha84]

color should not matter

[Anonymous]

Because it implies that it's not okay to be anything BUT white.

[HamAndCheese]

How's that?

[Asker]

So if it said " it's ok to be black" that would imply that it's not ok to be anything other than black? If you say no your clearly a racist.

[WeirdoWerdo]

No it doesn't...

[DonRomeo]

It doesn't actually...

[disgustingweebtrash]

Because it's not ok to be white of course

[Anonymous]

Hilarious
