“It’s Okay To Be White” posters spark OUTRAGE in England, treated as a “hate crime”. – BBC
Posters saying “It’s okay to be white” have sparked a police investigation.
They were found on lampposts in two roads in Basingstoke and near Basingstoke College of Technology.
Hampshire Constabulary was alerted to the posters by a resident on Thursday and said they were being treated as a “hate incident”.
Resident Priya Brown said: “These tactics are divisive and they have no place in today’s world. They’re tactics that are used to divide deliberately by neo-Nazi groups and white supremacy groups. It started in the US but we have seen it here in the UK.”
In the UK it is ILLEGAL to say “It’s Okay To Be White”.
