unrest and sway white Americans to far-right ideologies.

Since Tuesday, the posters have been spotted in Rocky River, Ohio;
Concordia College Moorhead, Minnesota. at Tulane University in New Orleans;
Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Md.; rich around the campus
of the University of Cambridge, Massachusetts, including Harvard Yard and
the University of Alberta in Canada. In most cases, schools and cities
pulled down the posters, but the message continued to spread in the images
and hashtags on Twitter and other social media platforms, even prompting a

backstory.
The signs began as a suggestion on the 4chan online chat room last month, a
kind of Internet prank laced with cynicism and boredom on race and white
identity in modern America.

A series of messages said people must print signs reading "IT IS OKAY TO BE
WHITE" post them on college campuses and elsewhere, then step back and
watch the fun begins. news reports drew attention to the posters, the
writer behind the idea predicts. Then white Americans designated by the
nickname "normies" in white nationalist ecosphere discover that American
journalists and "leftists" hate whites. In the process, normies stop
regarding decision of new credible. That would deal a damaging blow to the
culture war, the post said, the conversion inevitably more "normies" white
nationalist side right alt. It might be easy to sow social disruption, the
default position.
The episode is revealing efforts white nationalist groups to recruit and
around university campuses across the country and other traditional
parameters with more and more white mistreatment applications and extend
the anti-white discrimination. Construction of the white victim is the
experts say, not so long ago, only had avowed white supremacist tension,
segregation and neo-Nazi circles. But today he runs the open public debate
and anonymous race and shaping the policy of the nation.

In the period just after the 2016 election, investigators with the Southern
Poverty Law Center have documented a sharp increase posters and recruitment
activities by white nationalist organizations on 150 college and university
campuses. White nationalist organizations consider colleges as spaces where
millions of young Americans, without their intervention will be inculcated
with the ideas of valuing diversity, research and the creation of inclusion
and equity, the investigators found . And, on campus, white nationalist
groups have made every effort to counter this with well dressed, spokesman
techie and redoing articulate gender and cultural sensitivity as a damaging
loss for white Americans.
In the months immediately after the election in November 2008, the country
experienced an increase in both hate crimes and membership in a hate group,
said Nicholas Valentino, a professor of political science and research at
University Center Michigan for policy studies. For those who are already
concerned about what they see as the unacceptable price of capital, the end
of white control, the country's decision to elect its first black president
was a cooling time. But the perception of Americans that equity is
effectively against anti-white discrimination seems to have been adopted by
a majority of the American white population, said Valentino.
"Whites inside various supremacist groups and movements believe, and have
long, they are part of a racial victims," said Valentino. "Far right
nationalist white, neo-Nazis and their ilk have always had this sense of
aggrievement, the zero-sum mentality that says other groups get rights or
options and opportunities they have been excluded, white necessarily lose
and this can not be tolerated. But research, my research and several other
initiatives, suggest that white sense of victimization, and I mean the
perception of victimization, has increased dramatically since the election
of Obama. At this point, it is not the majority of whites, but increased
dramatically outside these extremist groups ".
The feeling that white Americans have become the only group in America
unable to participate in the interests of the group appears in the chat
4chan threads and Twitter calendar, too. During the 2016 election, then
presidential candidate Donald Trump even retweeted a message from an
account as littered spirit of inaccurate data on race and murder. On the
track of the campaign, Trump said with some regularity that life was safer
and all around better at a time in America when nobody had to worry about
being "politically correct".
The factual basis for claims that white Americans collectively suffer is
hard to find. On average, they continue to enjoy a better income, reserves
of personal wealth, health, health care, housing, schools than any other
group. White Americans are also 90 percent of the nation's elected despite
representing about 61 percent of the total population.
At Concordia College, a campus where "IT'S OKAY be white" signs and
stickers were found this week, removed. Concordia officials said in a
statement that they made because the signs do not conform to campus display
policies, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported. Concordia President
William Craft said he wanted to invite the university community to discuss
the posters to a school public forum organize. He also stressed that the
posters were distinguished, among others, a lack of information, even the
name of the group behind them.
