Black Austin Matters. Those are the words being painted in bright yellow Tuesday morning on Congress Avenue between Sixth and Ninth streets downtown. The Austin Transportation Department started on the message bright and early. Congress Avenue is a canvas of our city, the Transportation Departments tweet said. From marathons to marches, stories are made here. Some dont have the chance to tell their stories, so this morning we have them the canvas.

Congratulations, Austin... they're ripping your monuments own and replacing the imagery in the city with the words of the Marxists insurrectionists.

BLM is not going to like that. It may divert funds from their operation.
Wait. I just had a great idea. Republicans should set up Black (insert name of city here) Matters organizations and raise money that way.
To: Red Badger
Now theres a movement I could get behind!

Yes, Black Austin matters. And Black Lives Matter. But not more than any other race. If you believe that (and many do), then you are in effect the worst kind of racist. ENOUGH!
To: Red Badger
That’s what I thought they meant!! LOL!!

Yeah when I heard this on the radio this morning I thought it was a joke by the DJ. Nope, it’s real and local taxpayer funded. Austin is one messed up city. Many on the city council have recently migrated from the left coast. In a few More years, Austin will be full blown insane.

Back in the day, I bought a new MGB - a rusty orange with a leather navy blue interior.
Loved it...when it wasn't in the dealer's repair shop.
