In a white supremacist society, you should be able to declare that \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d without controversy or consequences.<\/h5>\n<h5>Indeed, in a white supremacist society, the only criticism you might receive is for being too tepid. After all, \u201cokay\u201d simply means \u201cadequate but not especially good.\u201d It is the equivalent to giving white existence a grade of \u201cC.\u201d Being white is apparently nothing to envy, but you wouldn\u2019t kill yourself over it either<\/h5>\n<h5>When the slogan \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d first appeared on 4chan\u2019s \/pol\/ in 2017, it was promoted as a diagnostic tool to help convince \u201cnormies\u201d that we live under anti-white regimes. After all, how could anyone object to \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d?<\/h5>\n<h5>The slogan does not claim that being white is <em>great<\/em>. It does not claim that being white is <em>better<\/em>. It merely says that being white is <em>okay, <\/em>which is the faintest possible praise. Furthermore, \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d says nothing at all about other races. It certainly doesn\u2019t denigrate them.<\/h5>\n<h5>So on what grounds could one object to saying \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d? As Tucker Carlson put it, \u201cWhat\u2019s the correct position? That it\u2019s not okay to be white?\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>If multiculturalism is truly an ideology of equality and inclusion, then multiculturalists should have no problem saying \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white.\u201d They would grant it the same status as \u201cBlack is beautiful\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be different.\u201d Indeed, whiteness is one form of difference.<\/h5>\n<h5>Clearly, one could object to a statement as innocuous as \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d <em>only if one really has something against white people<\/em>, specifically a deep hatred or prejudice. This is why it is such a useful diagnostic tool.<\/h5>\n<h5>\u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d flyers and stickers were posted widely in the United States and other white countries, primarily in the Anglosphere. As its creators predicted, the slogan provoked an immediate and intense backlash, far out of proportion to the inoffensive message.<\/h5>\n<h5>Upon seeing \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d signs and stickers, the first reaction of hundreds of people was to call the police. This can be verified simply by entering the words \u201cpolice\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d in the search engine of your choice. (DuckDuckGo gives the best results.) This happened even in the United States, where the First Amendment to the US Constitution protects freedom of speech. Here are a couple of my favorite headlines:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2019\/12\/19\/sickening-to-know-people-think-like-this-police-investigate-its-okay-to-be-white-signs-in-scotland\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">\u201cSickening to Know People Think Like This\u201d \u2013 Police Investigate \u201cIt\u2019s Okay to Be White\u201d Signs in Scotland<\/span><\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/nationalfile.com\/documents-150-cases-of-outrage-manhunts-over-its-ok-to-be-white-poster-activist-responds\/\">150+ Cases of Outrage, Manhunts over \u201cIt\u2019s OK to be White,\u201d Poster Activist Responds<\/a><\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Indeed, sometimes people deemed these posters too hot for the local cops to handle, so the Federal Bureau of Investigation was called in:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecollegefix.com\/fbi-probes-signs-defending-white-privilege-found-at-vermont-universities\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">FBI probes signs defending white privilege found at Vermont universities<\/span><\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>To put this in context, ask yourself how many flyers and stickers you see in a typical day. Dozens? On a university campus, you might see hundreds. Then ask yourself how many times you were tempted to call the police. Most people would have to answer: never. But when hundreds of people saw \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white,\u201d they were convinced that it is illegal\u2014or that it should be.<\/h5>\n<h5>Once the police were called, of course the press were alerted, and locals were asked to share their opinions about the flyers. Most people interviewed are certain that \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d constitutes \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2019\/12\/19\/sickening-to-know-people-think-like-this-police-investigate-its-okay-to-be-white-signs-in-scotland\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">hate speech<\/span><\/a>,\u201d even though it says nothing negative or hateful about anyone.<\/h5>\n<h5>I\u2019ll pull quotes from <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2019\/12\/19\/sickening-to-know-people-think-like-this-police-investigate-its-okay-to-be-white-signs-in-scotland\/\">just one article<\/a><\/span> to give a sense of the sort of statements that are typical: John Swinney, Deputy First Minister of the Scottish Government, declared: \u201cThis is atrocious and has no place in Perth or any other part of our country. We must stand together to resist this unacceptable material.\u201d Peter Barrett, a Perth councilor, said: \u201cThis is despicable hate speech. It is covert racism disguising white supremacist views. People should be in no doubt this is no innocuous joke.\u201d Local antiracists claimed that people of color had called to share their feelings. The \u201cterrifying attitudes\u201d expressed by \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d made them feel \u201csickened,\u201d \u201cdisgusted,\u201d and \u201cunsafe.\u201d<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/OK-to-be-white.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-210985\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/OK-to-be-white.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/OK-to-be-white.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/OK-to-be-white-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5>My <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhregister.com\/metro\/article\/It-s-OK-to-be-white-flyers-disturb-14831021.php\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">favorite political statement<\/span><\/a> comes from Mayor William Dickinson, Jr. of Wallingford, Connecticut: \u201cwhoever posted the signs reading \u2018It\u2019s okay to be white\u2019 don\u2019t speak for the people of Wallingford,\u201d he declared, speaking for the people of Wallingford.<\/h5>\n<h5>Given that higher education is a citadel of the extreme Left throughout the white world, reactions to \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d on university campuses are especially extreme, as one can see by typing the phrase plus the word \u201ccampus\u201d into any search engine. Here are my favorite headlines:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/reason.com\/2019\/11\/04\/its-ok-to-be-white-flyers-lead-to-promise-of-severest-disciplinary-action-by-western-conn-state-u\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">\u201cIt\u2019s OK to Be White\u201d Flyers Lead to Promise of \u201cSeverest Disciplinary Action\u201d by Western Conn.

A student at Oklahoma City University School of Law was expelled for posting \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d and ended up talking to the FBI\u2019s Joint Terrorism Task Force.<\/h5>\n<h5>My favorite \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d story is from Australia (75% white), where Senator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/video\/2018\/oct\/16\/pauline-hansons-its-ok-to-be-white-motion-narrowly-defeated-in-senate-video\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Pauline Hanson<\/span><\/a> of the nationalist One Nation Party proposed a non-binding statement condemning anti-white racism and declaring \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white.\u201d Although politicians constantly append their names to all manner of high-minded but empty proclamations, and although not a single Senator in Australia should have had a problem with affirming that \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white,\u201d the resolution was narrowly defeated on October 15, 2018.<\/h5>\n<h5>Is any of this behavior consistent with the claim that the United States and other white countries are systems of \u201cwhite supremacism\u201d and \u201cwhite privilege\u201d? Obviously not. If we lived in a white supremacist system, people would be <em>afraid<\/em> to call the police about \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d flyers and stickers. College administrators would be <em>afraid<\/em> to threaten students with punishment. Legislators would be <em>afraid<\/em> to vote against \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white.\u201d But instead, they know that the entire establishment\u2014political, business, media, and academic\u2014is anti-white. Thus it will approve of their behavior and give them a pat on the head.<\/h5>\n<h5>But just how anti-white is this system? Is it really committed to white genocide? One can interpret \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d in at least two ways. The most natural reading is \u201cIt\u2019s <em>good<\/em> to be white.\u201d But the word \u201cokay\u201d is such tepid praise that maybe we should interpret the phrase more along these lines: \u201cIt is <em>acceptable<\/em> to be white,\u201d or better, \u201cIt is acceptable for white people to be\u2014to exist,\u201d or \u201cDon\u2019t kill yourself over being white.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>A society in which one can be punished for merely asserting that \u201cIt is acceptable for white people to exist\u201d is obviously hostile to the very existence of whites. It is a society in which it is <em>unacceptable<\/em> for white people to exist. But if this is true, wouldn\u2019t it be natural to explore ways of getting rid of whites altogether? The genocidal implications are obvious.<\/h5>\n<h5>One might counter that those who object to \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d do not object to the <em>existence<\/em> of white people but merely to <em>white pride<\/em> and <em>white self-assertion<\/em>. Of course, \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d is not a statement of pride and self-assertion. It is absurdly unassuming, almost an apology for existing. But even that is apparently too much self-worth for the preachers of \u201cwhite guilt\u201d and self-abnegation.<\/h5>\n<h5>However, even the ideology of \u201cwhite guilt\u201d is implicitly genocidal. First of all, there is no path to absolution from white guilt. As long as non-whites are unequal to whites, whites will somehow be held guilty. And because inequality is natural, it will always exist. Second, we live in a world of racial strife, and a race without pride or self-assertiveness\u2014a race burdened with eternal guilt and self-reproach\u2014will fall prey to races without such handicaps.<\/h5>\n<h5>The best-case scenario is that whites will forever be poisoned with spurious guilt for the inadequacies of others, then milked for free stuff. In short: slavery. The worst-case scenario is outright genocide. And given that violence and instability increase with diversity, orderly factory-farm slavery is the least likely outcome. Thus objecting to white pride\u2014or even mere white \u201cokayness\u201d\u2014is ultimately objecting to white existence as such.<\/h5>\n<h5>Do the people who object to \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d <em>consciously<\/em> promote white genocide, or do they know not what they do? Most of them don\u2019t know what they are doing. White genocide is the long-term result of the principles they act on, but most people don\u2019t think about the long-term. They unwittingly promote white genocide while thinking they are being moral, pragmatic, or even selfish, because they know that they will be rewarded for anti-white signaling.<\/h5>\n<h5>The great value of \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d is that when one attacks such banal pro-white sentiments, it brings the implicitly genocidal programming of the Left very close to the surface. If you get hysterical about white people merely existing and not feeling suicidal about it, what do you really stand for anyway?<\/h5>\n<h5>Of course, the real point of \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d is not to save the souls of anti-whites but to educate ordinary people. This is why we need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.counter-currents.com\/2020\/06\/lets-reignite-its-okay-to-be-white-2\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">keep \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d constantly in the news<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">.<\/span> The same is true with \u201cAll Lives Matter,\u201d which can get you <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/news\/crime\/ny-jessica-doty-whitaker-shot-dead-indianapolis-all-lives-matter-20200713-jcm5oyjca5fz5kge4qtlhh7dnu-story.html\">killed<\/a><\/span>. More to the point is \u201cWhite Lives Matter,\u201d which can get you <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/uk-soccer-england-burnley-race\/burnley-fan-behind-white-lives-matter-banner-sacked-from-job-reports-idUKKBN23V317\">fired<\/a><\/span>.<\/h5>\n<h5>Force the Left to say \u201cIt\u2019s <em>not<\/em> okay to be white.\u201d Force them to say \u201cWhite lives <em>don\u2019t<\/em> matter.\u201d And make sure that everyone knows it. Also, be sure to take down names. If a doctor, lawyer, professor, or politician does not think it is okay to be white, then how can he be trusted to serve the interests of whites? White racists are routinely fired on the assumption that they cannot deal professionally with non-whites. Anti-white racists need to be held to the same standards. A white person would have to be nuts to go under the knife of a surgeon who says \u201cWhite lives don\u2019t matter.\u201d We would be foolish to expect anti-white professors to grade us justly. Whites must be protected from such people. It is our job to hold institutions accountable.<\/h5>\n<h5>When the entire establishment comes together to denounce \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be white\u201d or \u201cWhite lives matter,\u201d it decisively refutes the Left\u2019s thesis that we live in systems of white supremacism and privilege. It also exposes that multiculturalism does not envision a world in which whites enjoy equality and harmony with other groups. The multiculturalist utopia does not envision whites at all.<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">(Republished from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.counter-currents.com\/2020\/07\/its-okay-to-be-white-2\/\">Counter-Currents Publishing<\/a> by permission of author or representative)<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reflecting how brainwashed people are over race, even though it says nothing negative or hateful about anyone many were convinced the statement was \u201cracist\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-210984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Commentary","category-Race"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=210984"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210984\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":210987,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210984\/revisions\/210987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=210984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=210984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=210984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
