Pro-white fliers at UVM part of national campaign

BURLINGTON — Posters stating “It’s okay to be white” were put up anonymously at the University of Vermont and in other public spaces across the country Tuesday.

Five posters were found on the UVM campus and two were torn down before 8:30 a.m., according to The Vermont Cynic, the student newspaper. The posters match those found at high schools and colleges nationally in their font and message.

University Vice Provost for Student Affairs Annie Stevens said she believed the postering at UVM was part of a larger national campaign.

According to The Washington Post, the idea for the posters began in a thread on the online chatroom “4chan” a few weeks ago. It was later developed as a plan to popularize white nationalist ideology, the Post reported Tuesday.
