People will absolutely freak out, guaranteed. It's an especially effective "short-circuit" for the NPC crowd and the cognitive dissonance it provokes makes them completely lose their shit. It's a completely innocuous affirmation, but because they know only bad people ever say it, it must be racist. But it obviously isn't. And someone getting upset about it implies they disagree with the statement, as if they're arguing "it's not okay to be white," which is blatant, obvious racism. So simple brains melt trying to cope with that and you get the glorious freak outs we saw when people first started posting these signs.It's okay to be white really triggered the left here when people put up some posters. I'll probably try putting some up at some point to see if anyone freaks out.
The PD didn't actually take it seriously, did they? They released a statement saying "lol no" (politely) and did nothing else if memory serves.Yeah, unfortunately the backlash now is that shitty Twitter users claim people are Nazis when they use a fairly common hand symbol. Which is fine when they just scream it at their idiot friends but given they levelled an accusation at at least one police officer last year and the department had to respond takes the humour away from it a bit. When idiots believe it and they are treated as idiots that's amusing. When idiots believe it and are taken seriously it's like people writing in to the police about lizard people running them and the police having to write official public responses.
