“Walter Washington of Bates College in Lewiston reported to the Lewiston Police Department over the weekend that an "IT'S OKAY TO BE WHITE" flyer had been "posted a utility pole near the campus bookstore."
Washington stated of the matter, "It’s indicative of where we are and how far we have to go as a society. As far as our campus is concerned, it’s deplorable, disgusting and intolerable, and it has no place in or around this campus," according to WGME.”
“The idea behind it was "to create a flier that had an (ostensibly) inoffensive phrase on it that would nevertheless be treated as racist by people who viewed it, particularly liberals or members of the media. Their subsequent “overreactions” would in turn ostensibly make those people lose credibility in the eyes of others and seem like hypocrites." according to the Anti-Defamation League.”

I personally don’t see anything racist about the banner or what it says. I mean, is it not okay to be white? Is it racist to be white?
