White supremacist banners were recently displayed on a pedestrian walkway in Walnut Creek, disturbing local residents and city officials.
The banners reportedly displayed slogans such as "It's OK to be pro-white" and "White Lives Matter," NBC Bay Area reported. "White Lives Matter" as a slogan was first circulated by neo-Nazi groups in a backlash against the Black Lives Matter movement, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
"It was like a gut punch to turn a corner and see that," resident Maya Borgueta told NBC.
Walnut Creek is home to some of the Bay Area's active white nationalist hate groups. The city was also known for demonstrations on the El Curtola overpass above Highway 24 denying the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Walnut Creek's mayor, Matt Francois, told NBC that "this type of messaging is not welcome in Walnut Creek," and that the city does not tolerate hate speech.
"It's absolutely a hate crime," Francois told NBC. "These are the kind of things hate crime was made for, because even freedom of speech has limitations."

A level one alert you’re dealing with a propaganda piece pushed by leftists.
Nope. Not the way these fascists work.
“ These are the kind of things hate crime was made for, because even freedom of speech has limitations.””
Fascist, and correct. The purpose was not to stop racially motivated crime, but to chill speech.
Notice how hate crime laws are only reluctantly applied to crimes by minorities, especially black-on-white or asian.
Screw these fkn idiots... Just walk on by and pretend they’re not there...
There’s a great Peanuts cartoon (presumably spoofed) with Charlie Brown talking to Franklin (the black kid). It goes:
F: I’m proud to be black.
CB: that’s cool! I’m proud to be white!
F: racist!
I wish I could find it. I saw it here I’m sure.
This is not a “hate crime.” But it shows where the country is now. White is the hated race. White is blamed for all the evils in the world. Failures are blamed on Whitey. Whitey is expected to give up all his money and die quietly.
When does “White lives matter” get you thrown into jail?
Check Pookie’s Toons archive.
It was created by Dixon Diaz and may be available on his website, also.
Thank you.
I am so ready for California to float on off into the Pacific.
Thank you.
No idea why I can’t do html from my phone, but it never works.
So if someone holds a banner saying “It’s OK To Be Black” or “Black Lives Matter” does that make him/her a *Black* Supremacist?
If white lives don’t matter then it is ok to kill whites.
They aren’t even hiding it anymore.
You have too many quote-marks [”] in your source call.
When you copy pasted the link, you added an extra set.
Delete one set from the call and it will appear.
Getting really tired of that sh*t.
How’s the saying go? “I wasn’t a Racist... but they are trying hard to convince me to change my mind...”
“I worked in WC for 20 (1992-2012) years, lived about 15 miles north, never in all those years do I recall a single incident associated with WS hate groups. Total BS.”
Agreed. I lived there from ~2006-2019 (relocated to AZ in ‘19) never met, came across or heard about any local WS groups or individuals.
So white lives don’t matter?
How about FU!
Yes.
Utter bs.
