NY Post ^ | June 16, 2020 | Yaron Steinbuch

A Black Lives Matter banner has been taken down from the US Embassy building in South Korea three days after it was unfurled there in solidarity with demonstrators seeking racial justice after the police killing of George Floyd.

The embassy — which didn’t mention an LGBTQ pride flag that also was taken down — said the BLM banner was removed to avoid any perception that it meant “to support or encourage donations to any specific organization.”

CNN quoted an anonymous source as saying that the request to remove the BLM banner came from the office of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Good news.

MLM - Monkey Lives Matter.

We’re all monkeys on this Prison Planet of the Apes. “I am just a monkey man and I’m glad you are a monkey woman too.”

(what a great intro...as were most of the Stone’s intros)

Democrats are bad monkeys. They are not fit to survive on their own. Evolutionally speaking they should have been extinct long ago. We can vote them off the planet, as opposed to physically beating the subhuman monkeys. What a civilization human monkeys have built. C’mon November.

Who in the embassy put them up?
They should be fired.
And deported to N Korea.

“said the BLM banner was removed to avoid any perception that it meant “to support or encourage donations to any specific organization.”

Isn’t there some specific rule about political donations at federal installations? Wonder if there is an investigation going on in the background? If not, the best darn should be! https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/candidate-taking-receipts/who-can-and-cant-contribute/

Poor Korean guys likely don’t even realize where their donations are really going.

This is not America.
Tear those flags down, then burn them.

I’m sure that went over very well in Korea. Is the ambassador not answerable to the president?!
