A man who actually stood on international television and spoke racist lies about Haitians eating dogs and cats and literally just lied about transgender (transgenic!) mouse research but you probably lapped it all up!

Thanks for sharing the racist a-hole interpretation of "BLM". You are probably anti"CRT" and anti"DEI" as well.

Both CRT and DEI are inherently racist.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is not a "Black and white" issue. DEI is also:
1) Lactation rooms in workplaces
2) Maternity/paternity leave
3) Accessibility considerations for people with different abilities at events and in public spaces
4) Federal holidays centered on religious accommodation (ahem, Christianity)
5) Books available in large print and in Braille and in audiobook formats at your local library
6) Services and special considerations for veterans

Which of these things are you opposed to? Be specific.

Generally speaking, my observation is people don't have a problem with diversity (broadly defined, and not just limited to race and gender) or inclusion. What the have a problem with is equity, particularly they way it's defined and implemented by those in the industry, so to speak. That's where it comes off the rails, IMO.

But you didn’t say “I have a problem with equity the way it is implemented in many cases.” You said DEI is inherently racist. That’s what you said, and now you’re backpedaling, because oopsie, maternity/paternity leave FOR ALL, services and considerations FOR ALL VETERANS, and accessibility FOR ALL persons with different abilities is not “inherently racist.”

Say what you mean, mean what you say.

They are now requesting ALL murals be removed due to driving safety. What a farce. It's about Black art and they are racists.

This is the way.

There is no appropriate place for racial content in public spaces.

You are missing the forest for the trees. Per update yesterday, they want all art gone under the false guise of "driving safety."

Does a painting that involves any POC mean racial content? You bet it does in the eyes of this administration. Maybe you too. Eff you all. We going to get rid of the African American museum while we're at it? Must be causing crashes galore.

But also, perhaps redirect some energy to getting MD and VA to have reciprocity for their hundreds of thousands of dollars in driving offenses in DC? If they actually cared about making DC safe and "law and order," this is what they would be doing rather than just making Black people in Chocolate City feel unwelcome.

I'm not missing anything. Racist conduct, like naming public places in a race-conscious manner, is by definition racist. Otherwise, why object to White Lives Matter Plaza? Or Asian, Puerto Rican, Alaskan, Apache, or other racial designations? How about Jewish Lives Matter Plaza? Or Muslim Lives?

Leave all that out of public spaces.

Not talking about Black Lives Matter. It has been updated to ALL public art. Under the fake premise of driving safety.

I don't know. I imagine a fair number of the public schools students have to slow down to read whatever slogan has been painted on the road. That should improve public safety.

This was one of the concessions Bowser made to Trump when she went to Mar a Lago to kiss the ring.

Great! Traffic is picking up in DC, we need the space/streets. That "plaza" was always an annoyance for every drive going through it.

Name change and a new mural won't change traffic you Dolt!

You wish it will be "repainted" that is the language that Bowser uses to fool naive people and avoid a huge outcry, but the Bill clearly says "remove"

"U.S. Rep. Andrew Clyde, a Republican from Georgia, introduced a bill on Monday that would withhold certain funds from the District if BLM Plaza wasn't removed."

https://www.axios.com/local/washington-dc/2025/03/04/black-lives-matter-plaza-removed-america-250

What the heck does that have to do with traffic. You missed the message.

Do you want to get rid of the African American and Native American museums while you're at it?

No it isn't. Bowser complied with the BLM removal and now they upped the ante to ALL art because of driving safety.
