“it’s okay to be white” was crafted by 4chan as a “triggering the libs” phrase. The entire point is to be fully racist and rally under the phrase so that the people calling you racist for genuine reasons appear to be saying that it is not in fact ok to be white. Anyone saying this phrase is a white supremacist trying to trip you into “agreeing” with them that a white genocide exists and is happening, and to convince bystanders (youtube teens at the beginning of the alt-right pipeline) that the left is against white people, ergo if you’re white you should become a Nazi.
I know this because it happened to me. “It’s ok to be white” is prime ben shapiro owns feminists with facts and logic video material.
Its a malicious statement. It makes the reader assume that there are people that dont think being white is okay. Statements like its okay to be black or lgbtq or anything else it works because there is a lot of discrimination against them.
Abused? Agendas? I don’t believe it. I’m sure this is just one of a series of posts and either side is “its okay to be asian” and “it’s okay to be black” /s
The statement “it’s okay to be white” may be true, but it’s also never been widely suggested otherwise outside of a handful of shit takes.
It’s just people taking “white people have done some fucked up racist shit” personally, like someone yelling “not all men” and punching their wife because she was discussing modern and historical domestic abuse.
A healthy person should be able to say “they’re not talking about me specifically (even if they’re talking about a group I belong to) and they’re not specifically excluding me (even if they’re talking about a group I don’t belong to)”.
In all fairness, it’s a true statement. Just probably abused by people with certain agendas.

The issue isn’t the statement itself. It’s the implication that white people are being victimized that folks are taking umbrage with.

There’s definitely people that think that!
