A new Twitter campaign takes aim at the idea that white men are oppressive and privileged. Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes, who left the company in 2007, launched the campaign last week which uses the hashtag #TakeUsDown and features dozens of pictures of white men—and even babies and boys—lying face down on the ground. The images are captioned with statements that are jokingly self-shaming for white privilege and “transgressions.”
The hashtag made its way to white power forums, where users applauded the effort and added their own variations, including #AwayWithUs, #WeWhitesDeserveToDie, #BlacksKillUsNow, and #WeWillHangOurselvesForBlacks. Another user described the hashtag as “funny, fair and actually brilliant.”

Why am I just now seeing this?
