    I am pretty sure most people know it's ok for signs to be white. Not sure why you are posting this RL.

    Obviously because lefties would see this prosecuted at the very least as hate speech, hate crime, etc...

    It's actually against the law, so yeah, there's that.

    It's funny how this is being promoted as liberals losing their mind over it and it seems like most liberals have no idea this happened.

    It seems like conservatives at the Daily Wire are losing their minds over the imagined liberal outrage over this.

    I'm a liberal that doesn't give a s-hit about this. Sweeping generalizations suck. That said, being proud of your skin color is like being proud that you have brown hair or blue eyes. You didn't earn your skin color. You didn't earn your hair or eye color. It's great you like yourself but what exactly did you do to earn it other than just falling out between your mother's legs? "I'm proud to be white!"

    [​IMG] Good for you buddy.

    Makes a lot more sense to be proud of earned accomplishments instead of inherited traits from random mutated luck IMO. But hey, go on being offended by a very small group of liberals that are upset by this. Maybe spread it across the internet like it's a big deal even.

    It's also OK to act like a dumbass white teenager.

    Nobody's perfect, but most of us grow out of it.

    Or because it begs the ridiculously false question that Western or American society stigmatizes whites.

    I think for some reason the right wing white American refuses to acknowledge the reaility that is pretty much constant throughout the planet and human race in general that the majority ethnicity of a region will always have some sort of 'racial bias' and will marginally be treated better than minority groups in each respective region. This applies to every region and culture of this planet. Go to Japan. Japanese people treat ethnic Japanese better. Go to Bangladesh. The majority Muslims are treated better than the minorty Hindu population. Go to India. The majority Hindu population is treated more fairly than the minority Muslims groups.

    But many right wing white Americans seem to feel PERSONALLY offended when this universal human behavior is applied here. There is nothing inherently wrong about the white race. It's just as the majority ethnic group in this country, they have slight advantages and for some reason that notion is considered an 'attack' towards them.

    It's like an ethnic Japanese man in Japan b****ing about unfair treatment towards ethnic Japanese people... in Japan.

    Well, at least you are being honest about your advocacy of racism. That is something, in any case.

    But even if people are doing it by the tens of millions, racism is still evil and still a scourge. Just because there is a "consensus" among many people does not make it right.

    I don’t give a crap and I never heard of this scandal.

    Why?.... because I don’t subject myself to nutcase right wing propaganda sites that imagine what you fantasize all liberals to be so you can gratuitously hate them and troll them on sites like these.

    Appears to be the white identitarian's response to "black lives matter".

    Sneaky smart. Overt racism displayed in such a petty and trivial way that it makes the push back that it receives seem equally as trivial.

    Hate evolves.

    Looks like it was nothing more than a troll job intended to make stupid people do the predictably stupid things that they did so that they could point out their hypocrisy and racism.

    Not a whole lot to see here given that again, the response was predictable.

    seems to me like the only people loosing their minds are the ones that feel the need to put those signs up and the snowflakes like rockets legend who feel the need to post about it.

    Is it also OK to be a baseball fan?

    Comparing Japan to the United States is a false equivalency. In the united states, we have anti-discrimination laws. We have large cities rby my minorities. We have communities that are 90 percent non white. Minorities are set to be the majority pretty soon.
