We now support domestic terrorist groups in this country thanks to our Democratic Party. How could our government give support to such a racist organization? If this was all lives matter it would be helpful all this does is make a greater diversion in our country.

Fashions change with time, and future generations will look at these “monuments” as curiosities at best, and simply forgotten as to its meaning altogether. When did Cape Canaveral become Cape Kennedy, and has not the name largely reverted today?

“BLM” could as easily be taken to stand for “Bureau of Land Management”, now part of the Department of Interior, and have nothing to do with some obscure offshoot of “Black Panthers”.

I say we take off and nuke the whole site from orbit.

It’s the only way to be sure.

BLACK LIVES MATTER, DAMNIT!

Yes, we know. Us Republicans fought the bloodiest war in Americas history to prove that point to dim-0s, 150 years ago.

So, can the Tea Party have a plaza, with permanent advertising subsidized and maintained by the District?

Nothing like a plaza dedicated to a Communist company such as Black Lives MatterTM that is run by grifters who took tax-deductible money (meaning taxpayers have to cover the shortfall) from korporations and spent it on mansions for themselves.

Washington, D.C. is the most *legitimate* use for eminent domain that exists. That is, President Trump and a Republican congress should ED all privately owned land in the district.

The district is only 61 square miles, less the space used by the foreign embassies there, and of course the space used by existing government structures and a quarter of the land which is used for “road infrastructure.”

If the entire district is federal, the worthless government there is gone, crime drops a lot, the decrepit infrastructure can be substantially upgraded, and far more citizens can visit the place.

And it screws up the traffic around the mall, capitol building and White House even more.

“In NYC do they a still have the BLACK LIVES MATTER spray painted on the street right in front of Trump Towers? “

Not sure but there’s a “People With AIDS Plaza” near city hall.

Right; some of us will live our lives in the broad swaths of this country with Columbus statues, while others will remain penned in the ghettoes with BLM murals, George Floyd statues, etc..

I honestly appreciate the very public warning signs for blacks and non-blacks alike that they are crossing into unsafe wild zones when they see these markers.
