ROCK HILL, S.C. (Rock Hill Herald) - Before the mural’s paint had dried Sunday afternoon, Brittany Kelly had already seen how powerful the project on White Street could be. Dozens of Rock Hill residents from all walks of life — families and individuals, people of all races — had helped paint a street mural that stretches about 100 feet in downtown Rock Hill. The design, in block letters, reads “No Room For Racism,” a city motto that dates back to the tenure of Mayor Doug Echols. The first letters are filled in with the colors in the city’s logo, and the last nine letters are the faces of the Friendship Nine stenciled in black and white.

They are probably lying. It is OK today to say “black lives matter,” but try saying “white lives matter,” or “all lives matter.” Then you will see all of this “anti-racism” is just about “anti white people.”

Reverse racism against whites is cool tho. Seems to be the rage these days making whites was your feet, kowtow before you, etc. Yep, ‘no room for racism’ but ‘our’ own form and version of racism.

“No Room For Racism,”

Such a lie that doesn’t apply to everyone.

Yes, White street was named after the White family who were a prominent local family who did own slaves.

“All Lifes Matter.” is “Group Think” as it places every leftist liberal stereotypical human “category” into one indistinguishable group, which is not what they want as it keeps groups from being pitted against each other.
I prefer to say: “Each and Every Life Matters.” because it eliminates group think and refers to Each and Every individual human being. It is our individuality, that the left wants to eliminate, as it is easier to hate or perhaps even to idolize, a stereotypical group, then it is to hate each and every individual person separate from a stereotypical group.

“They are probably lying.”

Okay, I’m game. How is students painting “No Room For Racism” a lie?
