Screenshot of a Facebook post advertising a "White Lives Matter" event in Tennessee with an exchange between TaraLou Patenaude and Bash Back Boston in the comments. Tara: "IT IS OKAY TO BE WHITE AND PROUD OF IT. Yes I am -- my family has spent CENTURIES fighting for your right to act like an imbecil." Bash Back: "Your ancestors spent centuries fighting to keep their boots on the necks of others. That time is over. Your white pride is embarrassing." Tara: "The fact that all nonwhites are hypocrites and don't think we have a right to be okay with being white is ridiculously racist in itself. Noone should have to be embarrassed because of their skin color. Actions are what matter. But you can get past race to have a nonbiased opinion." — Tara Patenaude: “It is ok to be white and proud of it”
