[BBC] Posters saying "It's okay to be white" have sparked a police investigation.They were found on lampposts in two roads in Basingstoke and near Basingstoke College of Technology.
Hampshire Constabulary was alerted to the posters by a resident on Thursday and said they were being treated as a "hate incident".
Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council has arranged for the posters to be removed.
Resident Priya Brown said: "These tactics are divisive

A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values...
groups. It started in the US but we have seen it here in the UK."
