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."

“These are the kind of things hate crime was made for, because even freedom of speech has limitations.”
Spoken like a true fascist.
Changing one word changes a movement into a hate crime?
.
Then saying Black Lives Matter has to be a Hate Crime.
Common sense.
White Lives Matter isn’t racist at all if BLM isn’t racist.
Blacks are subhuman is racist.
“Equity” is racist against whites and certain Asians.
Diversity is racist against whites and certain Asians.
More provocations by the left.
It’s like a gut punch to turn a corner and see a “Black Lives Matter” banner up and floating the breeze.
BLM also stands for “Burn, Loot and Murder”, tactics the Black Lives Matter thugs employ to threaten, intimidate, and terrorize everybody not in their inside group. Which include a large number of other black lives, apparently those that do NOT matter.
False flag banners are a hate crime.
Groups. More than one. Must be running around everywhere in that hateful town. And those are the active ones! Missing from the article? The names of any of them.
Hey Mattie Francois, if white lives don’t matter who’s going to pull the welfare cart?
“I’m proud to be Black,” said the Black man.
“I’m proud to be Asian,” said the Asian man.
“I’m proud to be Hispanic,” said the Hispanic man.
“I’m proud to be White,” said the racist.
What?!?!?
Oh, F*** Off, you pack of worthless TWOT’s!
I live in WC — this sort of woke crappola is all over the place.
Am surprised that anyone was willing to defy it. Good on them.
So what you are saying is that “white is not alright”?
White lives matter is hateful.
But somehow “black lives matter” is not hate.
Whoever went along with this BS ought to be flogged.
Those aren’t white supremacist, and they aren’t hate crimes.
If they appear to be racist, “they” asked for it. They’re begging for it.
Exactly, the pendulum swung so far it's now in outer space.
They cannot see the hypocrisy that is so obvious..
