    D.C. Mayor Rename’s Street By Torched Church And White House ‘Black Lives Matter Plz

    https://saraacarter.com/d-c-mayor-r...ter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social-pug

    D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser renamed the street in front of the White House ‘Black Lives Matter Plz’ days after rioting and looting led to the burning of the St. John’s Church on the corner street.

    Earlier in the day Bowser had authorized the city’s Department of Public Works to paint “Black Lives Matter” in massive yellow letters on 16th Street near the White House as an affront to President Donald Trump.

    The street painting began at about 4 a.m. and local artists joined in the street graffiti.

    Well, this is sure to heal the racial divide in this country. What an infintile and useless thing to do.

    Do you think this was a good thing to do?

    Burn down a Church and get a street named after the group responsible.

    What a great precedent.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Portland Oregon does something similar. That city has a propensity for virtue signaling as well.

    All liberal cities will start this trend like they did with MLK Drive. Guess what? It will be associated with black lives being lost. Oh the irony. Much like what happens on MLK Drive in these cities. The exact opposite happens from the original intent.

    It's all just a farce.

    Does she even have the authority be decree to do so?

    "A black store owner ripped looters for destroying her Bronx shop this week — telling them in a viral video to “get a job” and stop stealing.

    “We’ve been here all night cleaning up. [They] tell me ‘Black Lives Matter.’ They’re lying,” said Lucy Hosley, 69, outside Valentine Deli in a video posted to YouTube Tuesday after the raid earlier that morning.

    “You wanted to loot the store. You needed money. Get a job like I do. Stop stealing.”

    In the video, debris and broken glass can be seen on the sidewalk outside the Valentine Avenue deli.

    “You said Black Lives Matter — why don’t you choke me?” railed Hosley, who has co-owned the business for six years. “I’m black, look what you did to my store.”

    “This is our neighborhood. We’re trying to build it up and you tear it down,” she added."

    Do you believe saying white lives matter is racist?
    How about christian lives matter?
    Or unborn children lives matter?
    Or American lives matter?

    Does it only become “divisive and racist” when it includes black lives?

    According to the left, especially blacks, saying any life matters other than black lives is racist. Remember the fiasco when the cops said blue lives matter, or when then democrat presidential candidate told a black audience all lives matter? It wasn't pretty?

    I don't decide what's racist, the left has that job locked up. But you can ask them if saying all lives matter is racist and see what they say.

    Maybe Trump should gas a few pedestrians and go take a look.... it's nearby, so it shouldn't take more than an hour by foot...

    Well, we know who the real racist is. And he doesn't work in the WH... If you needed a better example of what racism actually is, I can think of no other.

    Thank about all the union labor that had to clear said street so it could be painted.... Of course that didn't bother protesters. But sure, mayor, you go ahead and displace said protesters so you can proclaim your racism.

    Paint it pink who cares? Would you think Biden would paint it black? You know, to match his soul?

    .......Imagine being ruled by these children for four years(via Biden). Hard fought economic gains and trying to heal the country would be lost as they'd slam this in our face 24 x 7, 365 a year. It'd somehow be worse than the Obama Administration.

    This is an out of control knee jerk emotional thing to do. Pandering usually backfires.

    If Jim Webb had won the democratic nomination, the party wouldn't have been reduced to this petty level. Unfortunately, it was reduced to this petty level because that's what it is. It's no longer a major political party in America.

    No, I don't think he would, but we'll find out soon enough.

    I hope he doesn't, since it's sort of a landmark, but Presidents now have unlimited authority, so he can do what he wants...

    Hope nobody dumps a can of “white paint” on the sign or street.

    That would be called racist....:roflol:
