Once trans-speciesism really gets underway the Democrats will register roadkills as voters.

Forbes has got it the other way round. It's Black Lives Matter hoodlums who are destroying, burning and vandalizing our historical monuments all across the country. Some dating back over a hundred years.
Compared to them, BLM murals are garbage and an eyesore.

It's a village.

The nation is going through a painful time regarding race? I’ve been relatively happy and it hasn’t affected me.

I will hammer a nail into my arm so I can feel pain too just like the minorities do every single minute of every single hour of every single day.

GTF out of here

Crybabies :-)

What a coincidence! If people have time to feel oppressed by statues and street names they aren’t being oppressed.

Mural: a painting or other work of art executed directly on a wall.

Painting Black Lies Matter on a street is more like graffiti (not even good graffiti), not art. If I went and painted ever so carefully F—K YOU on a street, I don’t think anyone in their right mind would call it a mural or think it was “art”. Painting Black Lies Matter is more similar to gang tagging than art. Even some gang tagging is more artful than big block letters spelling Black Lies Matter.

Defacing a defacement is defacing?!
I’m confused...

Don’t be confused. It’s just that the defacers whose defacements are being defaced are having trouble keeping up their normal defacement schedules. (or something like that)

Goebbels.. what a piker.

Graffiti on walls was washed away and cars drove over nonsense written on streets?
Doesn’t Forbes have anything to do these days

All Lives Matter is a greater truth than Black Lives Matter.

The word “racist” has lost all meaning.

OUT BLEEPING STANDING!

If the Maoist anarchists can destroy statues with impunity then we can "deface" foolish murals.

Logarithmically expanding weirdness.

This is why sarcasm like with the Babylon Bee isn’t long for this world.
