uthorities in Denver are investigating "multiple racist signs" that were placed near bus stops along Colfax Avenue and appear to be the work of a controversial street artist.

The first signs were spotted around 5 a.m. on August 29, at the intersection of East Colfax Avenue and Oneida Street, according to RTD. Additional signs have been found on Colfax at Garfield and Yosemite streets.

The signs include wording such as "Blacks must sit on the back of the bus. Kamala's migrants sit in front," referencing Vice President Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee whose husband is visiting Colorado today.

Another sign spotted at a Colfax bus stop includes a stencil graffiti of people running with the words "Caution. Kamala's Illegals."

All whites are racist according to many blacks.

A core belief of DEI ideology is that all whites are racist, at least to some degree, and that blacks and other “people of color” cannot be racist because they lack “power.”

Westword should be the first understand the power of humor and satire. But they only get it when it serves THEIR purposes.

Nothing at all racist about the signs.

Colorado officials are clueless. They don’t get that the signs are in no way directed at black people. Nor are they particularly a slam on illegal aliens. They are in fact directed at the government for putting illegal aliens ahead of black Americans.

The gentleman on the right there appears to be wearing a belt to prevent his pants from traveling up past his fat ass.

Huh.

I’ve followed Sabo’s work for years - most of it is “knee slap” -funny. He’s clearly conservative (or conservative-leaning) and has a large body of work making fun of progressives in the LA area.

This looks like his handiwork and there’s nothing racist about it. Blacks are taking a back-seat to illegal aliens (aka migrants) and it’s hard to ignore.

One of the signs was posted on an Instagram account connected to Sabo, a right-wing artist known for criticizing liberal policies and candidates.

See, when you criticize liberal policies and candidates, you are automatically right wing.

I went to his site linked-to above, and read some of his comments, what motivates him. He is simply trying to point out the myopic hypocrisy of his fellow (liberal) artists by creating brutally honest artwork. Sounds like a good guy.

No, he’s just a white dude who’s been smoking too much weed. And today’s weed isn’t the same as we might have smoked in the 80’s. From the article:

THOMAS MITCHELL has been the news editor of Westword since February 2024. He’s been with the publication since 2017 and was formerly its cannabis editor. He’s earned numerous awards and accolades for his work, including placing second for the Marijuana Enterprise Reporting Award from the Colorado Society of Professional Journalists in 2018; being named a Top Cannabis Journalist by Leafbuyer in 2020;

They were actually going to send the police as goons out to hunt down the “racists” and “hate mongers.”
