There's a particular breed of pernicious bureaucrat who would call this defacement of public property, but I would call it a necessary public service.

We're starting to see positive, lasting effects of widespread direct action play out in real time all over the country, it's really quite extraordinary


Agreed. Apparently the DC Mayor actually approved of the painting, too. Shes stepping up. Hell yes.

Lol people falling for this performative gesture. The DC Mayor has consistantly been on the wrong side of BLM. Demand real policy changes. Not this.

Its sad you dont see how this will lead to more exposure for BLM and how itll make a statement directly defying racism in America, but ok.

Continue to try and discredit the incredible movement happening around this country. Itll only make us rise up faster.

You know the BLM organization in DC condemns this right?

This is just another kneel-with-the-protestors stunt.

I'm not doing that, you are. You said I was discrediting the movement, but I pointed out the organization involved with the movement in that area is saying otherwise.

Thats the opinion of the one person running that Twitter page, thats it. Doesnt mean all of the people supporting BLM in DC agree with it.

So again, why are you trying to speak for the thousands and thousands of people in support of BLM?

Answer the question. Why are you trying to speak for an entire organization of people by summarizing it with a Tweet made by one person?

Ill wait.

Still waiting. Even Dave Chappelle, a DC native and guy known for ALWAYS telling It how it is, is on good terms with the DC Mayor. Hes a leader in the African American community, and thousands upon thousands look up to him for his strong, powerful voice.

Early on in the black lives matter movement, I never thought stuff like this would happen. Black people have struggled through a lot of things in this country and this particular movement in relation to police brutality was one that was immediately met with a lot of condemnation, skepticism, and doubt.

A city actually having it painted on a public road in huge ass yellow letters... A global response? Man. It's heartwarming, honestly.

I think it'd be cool if we can eventually see this in Google Maps images.

This is great for visibility and pissing off Trump.

But I hope it doesn't stop here in DC. They need a lot of work for racial justice.

There are two African American people directly in the picture. But continue to see what you want to see, I guess.

Why not just post your opinions and get banned rather than passive aggressively sniping like this?
