Recently, signs saying that 'It's Okay to be White' have been appearing on college campuses and streets all over the place. Perhaps the most interesting part was how progressives reacted to it.

"A series of messages said people should print signs reading “IT’S OKAY TO BE WHITE,” post them on college campuses and elsewhere, and then stand back and watch the fun begin. News reports would draw attention to the posters, the writer behind the idea predicted."
Which is EXACTLY what happened. I knew that this wasn't a racist statement and was likely a social troll the moment it made headlines because I find this kind of thing funny and it wreaked of mischief.
Honestly saying it's okay to be white is a brilliant trap to lay for the so-called progressive crowd, ethnic identitarians, and social justice warriors, because there is nothing wrong or racist about this statement. This would be difficult to argue against, even if the sign were posted by a Nazi or white supremacist. It's still a true statement and they have done no wrong by saying it in public... supposedly.
"Then white Americans derisively referred to as “normies” in the white nationalist ecosphere will discover that American journalists and “lefties” hate white people."
Because they do... I mean literally... The concept of 'whiteness' has been skewed to a point where they believe it's toxic, colonialist, imperialist, and capitalist, which are all things that they personally hate.
They do hate white people and many hate being white.

"The episode is indicative of the efforts white-nationalist groups have made to recruit in and around the nation’s college campuses and other mainstream settings with claims of growing white maltreatment and expanding anti-white discrimination."
I'll just say it... because this is one of the VERY few times that they are absolutely right. It doesn't take long to search through Twitter to find some verified leftists, literally complaining that white people having children is perpetuating white supremacy.

I mean it's not like we don't have Ivy league professors saying things like 'I chose not to have children because they'd be white.' and whiteness is bad.

Or professors not losing their jobs for advocating mass genocide against white people.

Or media outlets banning white people from jobs:

So why would white people feel discriminated against? You've only got left-wing media pundits, political activists, personalities... and even one of the former front-runners for the DNC attacking them on a daily basis:

How can it be any wonder that white people feel like they are subjected to discrimination on the basis of their race. Why would anyone think that is?

Yeah, why would anyone think that when 'It's literally impossible to be racist to a white person."

So how about you take that white fragility, dry those white tears, and go back to your mansions!
Well you know something, a few of my friends have posted articles on cultural appropriation and how only white people can be guilty of it. Back in college, I was told that I was white and when I mentioned how the Irish were treated, I was told that because of our skin pigment, we were considered white now.
I had someone make the claim that I was white and had never faced discrimination... despite having to endure pedophile jokes made by anti-catholics, being yelled at by punks on the streets of New Bedford when I was in college picking up a friend for being white in a non-white neighborhood... and being stopped and questioned by a black officer on two separate occasions in Mattapan when I was picking up kids I worked with. Or how about being continuously dismissed during debates on social issues because of my skin color?
So with all that, what is white privilege? It's true that the top 1% of Americans are overwhelmingly white... but so are the bottom 20%. It's also true that white men have the highest suicide rates in the country and are more likely to be shot by police...
So with the examples listed above, I think it's fair to say that White Privilege is simply the privilege of legally being discriminated against. It's really hard to believe that the majority of people in the Western World today haven't started believing that white people are the problem and it's completely fair for you to discriminate because basically, white people are slave owners. They're neo-colonialists, they're totally awful, there's just something inherently wrong with white people, and it will be a good thing when they're all gone.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT SOME KIND OF ALT-RIGHT TALKING POINT. THIS IS A LEFTWING TALKING POINT THAT IS COMING DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO MAINSTREAM, AND THEY WON'T SHUT UP ABOUT IT!
They have become incredibly racist, sexist, identitarians, and in some cases have devolved into segregationalists. They are all these things and they use these talking points as tools against people who have done nothing wrong except have the wrong skin color or gender, and it has to stop! You are not justified in attacking white people no matter how many times you tell yourself that you cannot be racist against them. So for those who argue for the existence of white privilege, I'll make a deal with you, you lobby to get rid of affirmative action, I'll get rid of my white privilege.
