    Since when is that a synonym for "fantasize"?

    Not that. I am not victimized for my race and ethnicity.

    But I am not Christian. Moreover, I am not a part of White European Civilization which has brought enormous suffering to many peoples. White Nationalism resulted in Holocaust, American Slavery, Genocide of Indigenous People, artificial famines in India.

    All Humans are Created Equal. But I am proud of my cultural heritage.

    I think you are using "white nationalism" to mean something other than the commonly held definition. That's always a problem when posters make up their own definitions for commonly used terms. Nothing about "White European Civilization" has anything to do with the fact that you are a white European.

    I am proud of my cultural heritage as a Jew. I have no European ethnicity in me.

    Same. Almost there, too.

    Incidentally, a dog is essential.

    Fortunately, I have not experienced anti-Semitism in USA.

    Fortunately, Jews are not generally persecuted in modern USA.

    People with Severe Mental Disability were also persecuted by Germany during WWII. People with Severe Mental Disability do face severe mistreatment even in Modern World. About 356,000 such people are incarcerated. Here.

    In africa, people hunt albino's to eat their organs-which are seen as having magical properties.

    The albino's form defensive compounds to prevent them from being "poached".

    Its a wild world.

    There is a war lord and militia there that dress as women when they go into combat.

    They believe that bullets seek out men to kill, so if they are dressed like a woman, they can fool the bullets.

    If you add up all that knowledge, experience and fashion sense, then you’d have a great congresswoman in Minnesota.

    Yup! That captures it! Most folks in this great nation are post-racial, it's the Left that wants to sort everyone by melanin and gonads and then pit them at each other's throats.

    IT IS IN FACT OK TO SAY ‘IT’S OK TO BE WHITE’ ON A PUBLIC CAMPUS. As long as you follow the posting rules! That’s not going to change just because Western Connecticut State University’s president is running around with his hair on fire promising “the severest disciplinary actions, including dismissal as well as possible civil and criminal actions” if a student is found to be the culprit. Also, talk about making the anonymous poster’s point for him (or her)…

    Last week, after unidentified persons posted flyers declaring “It’s OK to be white” and “Islam is right about women” alongside a “Kekistan” flag at Western Connecticut State University, its president vowed that, if caught, those responsible would be subject to criminal prosecution and, if they’re students, expulsion. The discovery of the display at WCSU yielded, according to President John B. Clark, a “full scale police investigation” involving the FBI, Connecticut State Police, and local police.

    Eugene Volokh, a law professor at UCLA, made inquiries of WCSU.

    Volokh observes, content- and viewpoint-neutral rules concerning where and how flyers are posted may be enforced by public institutions — but their enforcement must also be viewpoint neutral. In other words, if the university were to apply equal penalties to anyone who put up a display in this manner, regardless of whether it was an American flag, rainbow flag, or “Kekistan” flag, then it may likely do so without abridging the First Amendment. Indeed, while it’s not clear whether WCSU has a formal policy regulating where and how flyers may be posted on campus, a university website notes that bulletin boards are available for student groups’ use, but “glass and walls are not appropriate posting locations.”

    Clark’s statement, however, very strongly suggests that such viewpoint-neutral treatment is not what he has in mind for whoever posted this particular set of displays. Unless expulsion from the university, criminal prosecution, and the involvement of multiple law enforcement agencies is the normal procedure whenever a WCSU student Scotch tapes a flyer to a wall, it’s hard to read President Clark’s remarks as anything other than a clear threat to treat those who post these particular phrases and images far more harshly than those whose expression he finds more congenial.

    While universities can enforce reasonable and content-neutral time, place, and manner regulations without violating their obligations under the First Amendment, the transparently viewpoint-based treatment of this particular incident, coupled with the expansive use of what amounts to a hate speech statute is extremely troubling. Universities that allow, let alone proclaim, that their disciplinary decisions will be based on political factors are opening a Pandora’s Box — one that will assuredly be abused by administrators (and even law enforcement officers) to unlawfully penalize disfavored expression on their campuses.

    What words in the flyer made you think someone was being an ********? All that flyer did was show how easily liberals are triggered.

    Is it less OK to be an ******* about being white than to be an ******* about being black?

    It seems to be a simple question.

    What is hateful about advertising an opinion that it's OK to be "white"? Is being "white" not OK? If someone doesn't admit that it's not OK to be "white", does that define them as being hateful?

    Any white person who goes through life feeling guilty for being white, is probably a head case to begin with.

    A perfect candidate for today's self loathing environment that liberals seem to fester in.

    As a Jew I have not faced any discrimination in USA.

    But I am not a part of European heritage of Genocide, Slavery, and Colonialism.

    Well if you, as someone descended from white Europeans, can exclude yourself from racial guilt (which you seem to believe in), which other white ethnic groups are also excluded?

    But of course there's a great deal more positive contributions to the world from Europe. There is the negative on every continent if that's going to be our only focus.
