    It's a nazi / kkk slogan. THEY came up with it. THEY spread it. And indeed, you than can not copy the slogan and claim you don't want to be associated with a group who used it, and spread it first. What's next... the dems using MAGA! MAGA! and deny it has to do with Trump? lol

    Stereotyping is the unverified belief that ALL people who you see as part of a group are the same (typically in a negative way).

    Profiling is ACTING on a stereotypical belief by TREATING someone in a negative manner that correlates with that original unverified belief.

    Stereotypes are a device for saving the negatively biased person the trouble of learning.

    Profiling is acting upon that laziness of learning.

    Similar. You may not think all white males with blue eyes are pedophiles in a profile, but you would in stereotyping.

    Stereotyping has to be based on some degree of truth or the stereotype doesn't work. Profiling is based on tons of things including how a person acts, the way he carries himself, the area he's in, etc. When I used to live in NJ the cops would stop me if I went into the wrong parts of NYC or Jersey City because white people were out of place in those areas and were probably up to no good - or maybe needed to be rescued. Jesse Jackson stereotyped when he was glad the footsteps he heard behind him were from white people and not blacks.

    Which is why I said they are similar, but not the same.

    I source it to wikipedia. I'm not going to source the lyrics of the song. It calls the holocaust a hoax. That's probably a rule violation.

    Nope.
    I am saying that "it's ok to be white" is parroting a nazi slogan and people chanting that slogan are associating themselves with the people who made and spread that slogan.

    Wiki found the source of the group who posted the signs.
    What name did they give of the group. And how did they locate the group that posted them? Video?

    again... I'm not going to post anti-Semetic vids on this site. That would be a clear rule violation, champ.
    I sourced it to wikipedia. That will do.

    Doesn't matter, you don't know the group who put out the signs.
    That's all I asked.

    It's a nazi slogan. The question is... is it ok to use nazi slogans? Most would say no. Few would say meh.

    I don't care who put the sings up which are mentioned in the OP.
    The fact remains that it's a nazi slogan.

    Allahu akbar is a phrase often used by Islamic terrorists, so I guess anyone who uses that phrase is associating themselves with Islamic terrorists.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takbir
    The Takbīr (تَكْبِير, pronounced [tækˈbiːr]), also transliterated Tekbir or Takbeer, is the Arabic phrase Allāhu akbar (الله أكبر), usually translated as "God is [the] greatest".[1][2] It is a common Islamic Arabic expression, used in various contexts by Muslims; in formal prayer, in the call for prayer (adhān),[3] as an informal expression of faith, in times of distress or joy, or to express resolute determination or defiance.

    Are you now going to troll around when I proved the slogan near bates college is a nazi slogan?

    It's because they don't think it's okay to be white. Regressives, (there is nothing progressive about them) what white people to be ashamed of their race.
