MOSS POINT, Miss. (WLOX) - A Moss Point man says the mayors recent painting in front of City Hall is racist and thats why he painted over part of it Wednesday morning.
First thing Wednesday, Loper used black paint to paint of the fist, leaving the words BLACK LIVES MATTER alone.
- snip -
All lives matter but (a) black power symbol is just like the stars and bars in the Confederate flag, said Loper in a Facebook post. He added that the fist is racist and not needed in Moss Point.

Shortly after, he (The mayor) took to Facebook, saying his painting was vandalized by a white man that lacked the cultural competence and understanding of the pain, adversity, and experience of the BLACK LIFE.

It is the symbol of Black Nationalism. The mayor is incorrect.

The raised closed fist is a symbol of Marxism. Has nothing to do with racism unless you consider the fact Marxism is racist, but then try to get that through the heads of the Media.

Black Liberation is probably more accurate. And that is not a good philosophy for blacks or whites.

It is racist.
James Brown said real black power was when he moved himself up from shining shoes outside a radio station as a boy to owning that station as an adult.
