Such signs appeared at the University of Vermont and at Champlain College in October 2018 and in Massachusetts at Tufts University a month later.
In a photo submitted to WCYB, signs reading "It's Okay to be White" cover a memorial honoring the first African-American students to enroll at East Tennessee State University."In an act of vandalism, flyers were placed on Borchuck Plaza over the memorial plaques of those five pioneering individuals who desegregated our institution during the 1950s," Noland said.
. Approximately 80 percent of the student body as of the fall 2019 school year is white, a spokesman for the university president told NBC News.
So what! Jesus the media will reach at every turn to try and piss someone off!
Are you saying it isn't? Just thought it was ok to be who you are.
Yawn.
Btw - It is okay to be white. 🙂
I would be proud to be any color, and happy to see a black red or white bragging about it. But don't say I would rather, be another color then you. That offensive, but I could live with it. But I could say, of course I am not ugly.
Big deal. You praise signs that say it is ok to be black and ones for blm so stop the divisive narrative
Sooooo, it not ok to be white?
White fragility in all its splendor
triggered trump supports.
PunishJanBakker It's ok to be white
Makkim77 O don't see anything wrong with that. My issue is that whites can't be proud to be white without injecting hate in their proudness. They can't love themselves without hating others. Just be proud to be white and end it there. No extras.
What, NBC do not agree with the message?
White life's matter too. In fact WE ALL MATTER 😀
An ironic truth.
Why do they think anyone thinks it’s not ok to be white?

Are they saying it’s not ok to be white?
My skin is brown but my ass is white, do I qualify for them privileges?
How sad these individuals are so afraid. Life doesn’t have to be a zero sum game, there’s room for everyone to succeed. Yes, it’s ok to be you! Let’s not seek Trump’s divisiveness for we are stronger together. Making room for others doesn’t mean you lose, it means we all win.
Is it not ok to be white?
Graffiti with the same phase was found at UCSanta Cruz, Ca last week.
A state income tax will now be unconstitutional in Texas. And You guys are helping with the Epsteincoverup.
No one is saying you should be ashamed of being white. Your skin color is not your choice. But recognize that white privilege DOES exist and recognize systemic racism DOES exist and try to be a good ally to people of different races and colors.
It's also ok to be Asian, black, gay, Latino, etc...But saying it's 'ok to be white' deserves an investigation.
Attention Entitled people: you lost! Lose with grace, not ignorance
Apparently it is not okay to be white on that Tennessee university campus.
GabbyNews3LV Always gotta have an idiot, trying to stir thing's up in life. Smh at them.
All the ppl saying it's not okay would be singing a different tune if it read it's okay to be gay or a woman. We'd never hear the end of it from homophobes & mysogynists.
Feel like the south always rises to remind us ...hey awful racist people are still here, notice us...
Oh, the South. Don't you have better things to do?
Guess it’s not ok to be white.
Same posters placed MaryWash
Big deal
If history has shown us anything we will find out a minority student posted them. Give it some time.
Outrageous they should transition into another race and become trans-racial, then they'll be ok to be what they are
