[WHDH] An outraged man traveling on the Mass. Pike stopped his car Friday morning to rip down a sign hanging from a highway overpass in Newton that read "It’s OK to be white."
Thousands of commuters on the busy highway got a glimpse of the large white banner that featured bold black lettering, prompting a response from the Anti-Defamation League of New England.
"It’s pretty disappointing to see people in Massachusetts using a platform like that to disseminate a message that excludes people and targets people," said Robert Trestan, Executive Director of the ADL’s Boston office.
Sean Roche, who was driving with his daughter, got out of his car and tore the sign down before police arrived at the scene.
"It’s a statement that being white is under attack right now and it’s just not true," Roche told 7NEWS. "Being white is such an advantage in this society. To suggest otherwise is just straight-up racism."
Betcha the guy is white
