(CNN)New York City is painting a Black Lives Matter mural on the street directly outside of Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan.
City employees began painting a stretch of Fifth Avenue, just in front of the Trump Organization's headquarters, on Thursday morning. Mayor Bill de Blasio authorized the stark yellow mural earlier this month.
The New York mayor rolled up his sleeves and painted a bit of the mural, too, clad in a mask and flanked by civil rights leader, the Rev. Al Sharpton.
"President Trump said we would be denigrating the luxury of Fifth Avenue. Let me tell you: we're not denigrating anything, we are liberating Fifth Avenue, we are uplifting Fifth Avenue," de Blasio said on Thursday in response to Trump's tweet last week criticizing de Blasio for "denigrating" the area.
He added, "Who built this city, who built this nation, and never got the acknowledgement, the recognition..." "When we say 'Black Lives Matter' there is no more American statement, there's no more patriotic statement, because there is no America without Black America. We are acknowledging the truth in ourselves and in America.
By saying 'Black lives matter' we are righting a wrong," de Blasio said.

Why not leave the “V” out. Then it will be more truthful.
BLACK LI*ES MATTER.
Just look at the scorecard for Chicago and see.

And that is just Chicago.
Trump needs to stop tweeting and start doing something.
Ok, what should be painted on the street outside the mayor’s office?
My wife is a thief!
Just a continuation of the freak show that is the left.
I suppose street lettering for 'SCHOOL ZONE' and 'BUS STOP' will all soon be declared art.
President Trump has nothing to do with it. Nor should he.
It just makes DeBlasio look more pandering and ridiculous.
Black Lives Matter but not in Chicago where Blacks kill Blacks. Phony Marxist radical group that cares little about Blacks and only serves to overthrow our way of life. A true scam. Wake up people. If BLM has its way Blacks will suffer more than Whites.
Painting a nonsense slogan on an iconic Upper West Side road that fewer and fewer citizens of New York will see. How courageous. The stuff of legend./s
The residents are fleeing. I am old enough to remember the “white flight” of the 1960s. That’s kid stuff compared to the exodus taking place now. NYC will spend decades trying to rebuild from this disaster. I’ll probably be dead before it returns to any semblance of normalcy.
Hopefully it gets defaced constantly. relentlessly
Bill is jealous that he cant cut it.
Did demonrats lose their marbles BEFORE they became demonrats or AFTER? There isn’t any intelligence anywhere in the whole bunch of them. So he married a black lesbian - so what? That means he gets to demean anyone who isn’t a depraved idiot like himself?
This has to be the quickest NYC public works project ever completed...
Surely the codes and ordinances have been checked and painting streets is an approved activity, right? Joe Citizen, wanting to get a variance on private property likely has weeks or months waiting for the approval by the city council or responsible agency.
Drivers, whose lane markings and other DOT approved signage are now obscured, should sue, sue, sue, both the Mayor in his official capacity and also as a private citizen. Same for the city council.
a public official hanging out with a raw racist like Al Sharpton .... DISGUSTING to the Max!
NYC needs a new mayor PRONTO!
Yes, or a truck with spray nozzles .
Yeah. All he’s proven is that he’s good at vandalism.
DeBozo the Tagger
BLM is a political entity and slogan. It has little to do if anything with general diversity, and by the City painting such, they are creating a hostile work place, thereby diminishing the status of other races. If anything NYC employees, particularly cops should file an EEOC discrimination complaint against NYC. same goes for DC and anywhere else. Start using the same tactics libs use against the nation.
I hope to piss on a.k.a. DeBlasio's grave sometime after I retire.
Also he isnt president material.he and Bloomberg should open a farm.
Is it worth it to get arrested for public urination?
So, now you have the NTC mayor painting graffiti in the streets. Not long before it returns to subway cars and other city streets to give it an avant dump look.
