And what do I see in the comments:

 

Right wingers: I'm cancelling my membership until you ban and denounce their offensive shirt!

 

So caught up in the momentary partisan craze (and to "prove" they're not like the left) they don't even grasp they're validating the left's cancel culture. If you wonder why the right keeps losing, it's because weak morons like these people (on a large scale) abandon their principles and allow the left to dictate the terms of discourse. When you do this, you've lost. 

 

The lesson I see every time is the same, don't ever try to prove the reverse of their idiocy, the terms of their discourse are designed for others to lose, if they actually allow themselves to be pulled into it. These are the psychological games they play.

Hmm, I guess one city decided it was best to remove the mural.

 

California city washes away BLM mural after Trump supporter requests ‘MAGA 2020’ display
 

Redwood City in San Francisco’s Bay Area quietly scrubbed away its Black Lives Matter mural from a city street after a resident asked to paint a similar “MAGA 2020” on the same road, according to a local news report.

 

Redwood City resident Dan Pease received permission from city officials to paint “Black Lives Matter” on Broadway Street as part of a Fourth of July public art celebration, according to KPIX 5. City officials even supplied him with the yellow poster paint to make the mural.

“Because we were using the poster board paint that would eventually deteriorate over time, my understanding from them was that the mural would last as long as the paint lasted,” Pease explained, the outlet said.

Then, local real estate attorney Maria Rutenberg, who reasoned that the street was now a public forum, asked the city if she could paint her own “MAGA 2020” sign on the same street.

“I saw 'Black Lives Matter' sign appearing on Broadway Street on the asphalt and I figured that’s gonna be a new public space, open for discussion, and I wanted to get my message out, too,” Rutenburg said.

The city did not respond but promptly removed the Black Lives Matter mural, the news outlet said. They said the sign was a traffic hazard and might cause accidents.

Not that I know of, although I did recently see a Three Stooges episode where they were Northern spies in the Confederacy.

I think Amazon or Netflix had it until last year, but deleted it.  Funny as hell.

On the topic of painting over racist slogans, I read that the woman in NYC who got arrested for painting over the hateful words got arrested, but released due to the new NY ruling of no bail for non-serious crimes, so she went and bought some more black paint and did it again.  Good on her!!

She went and did it 2 more times after that one incident during the daytime. There is a video of her and another woman painting one in Harlem overnight.. I honestly think that there is a screw loose in either her or her friend because her friend kept shouting "This is for Jesus"

The women are known as ''anti abortion'' activists and are a part of a group of questionable 'ministries' that typically harass people. Beatty in particular enjoys the child-sized cabinet conspiracy nonsense.

I really don't care what they represent because it made me laugh to no end when I see them painting over the mural. Because you know if they were white then they would have been considered racist and that would have been a "hate crime" like what happened in California. But you can't call it a hate crime now because they are black. hahahahaha

One person's conspiracy is another person's conviction, eh?

 

But good on them for doing the right thing.  Slow clap...
