The saying was later spread by neo-Nazi groups and politically organized white supremacists, including former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke and The Daily Stormer. The suggestion for the use of posters with the saying originated on the message board /pol/ of 4chan, with the intent of provoking reactions. Media coverage of the event, including Fox News host Tucker Carlson asking "What's the correct position?

Posters and stickers stating "It's okay to be white" were placed in streets in the United States as well as on campuses in the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom.
