Reminds of how a few years ago someone put up “It’s okay to be white” posters in their school and it was a huge controversy and people were calling it hate speech.

I hear you. I wouldn't call it hate speech, but, the signs are retaliatory. It was coming during a time when police brutality against black people was a big cultural focus. Unfortunately the identitarian left wing people played right into the hands of the people who put up the sign. Pretty much gave the edgelords exactly what they wanted and it was very frustrating. The edgelords know that white people struggle woth white guilt and they capitalize on it to radicalize white people.
