Atlantic City To Spend $36,000 To Repaint BLM Street Tribute After Driver Confusion
Breitbart ^ | 03.26.2021 | Nate Church

Posted on 03/28/2021 4:48:49 AM PDT by USA Conservative

After a city council vote Wednesday, Atlantic City will repaint the Black Lives Matter tribute which confused drivers on the street.

Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small said the 2020 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard street mural honoring Black Lives Matter would be repainted smaller, due to driver confusion caused by its massive yellow lettering. “It was an oversight on our part, and when we realized it, we fixed it,” Small said Thursday.

During the Wednesday night meeting, Acting Police Chief James Sarkos told the council the mural violated state Department of Transportation regulations, forcing them to close the street to prevent accidents. City Council member LaToya Dunston accused the city of wasting tax dollars without knowing the rules that govern such projects.

The mural was the result of a September 2020 community event, in which volunteers donated paint, materials, and their own time to cover that section in block letters reading “BLACK LIVES MATTER.” The mural was a compromise between city officials and activists who wanted to paint it on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, meant to avoid further conflict during the racial justice riots following the death of George Floyd last summer.

Probably would cost less than $3,600.

Listen to Brandon Tatum, Candice Owens, ABL and Kevin’s Corner, the Thompson Twins on YouTube.. They are the true voice of the black community. Marxist Commie groups like BLM do Not represent the average black person.

I know this will be a shock to the liberals, but guess who else's life matters? Ready? EVERYONE!

Everyone is too sweeping although part of the Judeo Christian foundation of our country.

I do not forgive men who kidnap dogs and use them as training bait for dog fighting rings. Or ones who capture and exploit children for organ harvesting and sex slavery. Abortion operations and their staff and leaders. Every Dem unless I have a strong haul of evidence someday that they are an exception. Sorry.

Inability to "love thy neighbor" is a sin and I am a sinner..

Sounds like it’s slippery when wet.

It been pointed out several times here that it’s not a mural. A mural is defined as;

NOUN

1. a painting or other work of art executed directly on a wall.

Ok, makes a little more sense now... I was trying to figure out how a “mural” (painted on a wall) was confusing drivers...

They really need to study the dictionary better/more.

Thx for the leads. I’ll wager that MSM ignores them all, and Youtube/Twitter/Facebook censor them.

Atlantic City is a shadow of its former self, and was long before the ChiCom virus. Pennsylvania casinos crushed them; instead of driving more than two hours to get to AC, I can drive an hour to gamble in northeast PA (if I still had any interest in that). Much of the clientele from the NYC metro area, as well as the Philly metro area (which is closer), no longer have to go to that unsafe, dirty place.

“normal Blacks”

I really have no idea what they are.

A person who happens to have darker skin pigment who has a job or a business and just wants to be left alone to enjoy the fruits of his labors.

Ahh. What TV shows can I see that on? Which websites display it? Which magazines? Where can one find their voices?
