Yes. Everyone was there, nobody saw a disgusting sign and spoke up. Nobody said anything about a sign threatening a Black conservative woman with a return to Jim Crow.

It shows moral rot.

Everybody understood what she meant. The willful misinterpretation of the sign is the moral rot.

You’ve got the first part right.

You don't believe that's what the sign meant. You're lying and claiming it does that because it helps your cause. That's moral rot.

Would you hold up that sign and be photographed and video recorded?

No because I have different views about trans issues than she does. I'm just also adult enough that I don't pretend not to understand what she's saying.

Even the top guy at Arlington Dems told her the sign was offensive. On video.

I'm sure she has a story of how she opposed segregation, but there she was, proudly holding up her sign. I'm also sure there will be defenders saying it was racist but it was satire to prove a point. It was racist, right there for all to see.

Wow.

On another note, why are modern day protesters with signs always 70+ YO white women with short hair?

They aren’t, that’s a narrative that the administration desperately wants people to believe, though.

In other words, don't believe your own eyes.

As he pointed to the last sentence on the sign.

+1 it is proactive and there could be arguments that the analogy isn’t quite a fit. But I don’t think this woman is actually trying to reignite segregation. Who would be at a rally supporting trans rights if they actually want black people to use a different water fountain?

Also I think it’s absurd that people are getting upset at this being “racist” while we have a president who hates immigrants, mocks disabled people, gropes women, and is using the national guard as a political pawn. Focus on the actual bad people.

It's racist, but...

I get it. Logic isn’t for everyone so you can only handle a literal interpretation of the statement.

Meanwhile we have a President who made up lies about Haitians eating dogs and cats, talked about his daughter’s boobs, and bragged about walking through a teenage girls’ changing room.

Ultimately I do think the sign was a bad idea because the woman who made it underestimated the willful stupidity of MAGA. The Fox News crowd will see a screenshot and fall for the “story” that some dem in Arlington wants to bring back segregation.

The privilege in thinking you’re perfectly able to hold up a sign like that in public and you’re in the right is disgusting.

She’s no savior.

Steve Baker, Chair of Virginia @arlingtondems, scolds the racist white woman & tells her her sign is going viral. She hides it. She’s has a “WoFava” shirt - “We of Action,” an Arlington, VA-based progressive group led by Micaela Pond, Founder, & Chris Adair. They are actively flooding Arlington with street “resistance” art, standing on bridges with signs, and door knocking for @SpanbergerForVA

They ARE the actual bad people. They are deflecting.

Right? The irony of a party of rapists, child molesters, and far right extremist white power enthusiasts pretending to be outraged is amazing.

I say let them go with it.

They are also associated with a parent organization that takes in a lot of foreign money.

She's saying the stance on trans kids now is the same as the stance on black/white water fountains then.

This has GOT to be fake MAGA outrage because no one could be so dumb as to not understand what she was saying. .Can't you get the black vote without lying Trumpers? MAGA manipulative scum post right here.

Your feeble attempt at deflection isn't working.
You own this racism and it completely exposes the ugly truth of who you are.

DP and I wouldn’t. Not because it is racist, but because after years of working with the general public I understand that a lot of people are stupid and incapable of complex thought.

Her analogy could provoke thoughtful discussion in an academic course about race and gender. But on a public sign it is inevitable someone with the IQ of a rock will read it as pro-segregation.

It's OK that the Spanberger supporters are racist because Trump is bad.

Maybe energy would be better spent on worrying about the arming of the locally-deployed National Guard.

Or calling for full release of the Epstein files, rather than the plan to dribble out sanitized bits.

How is her sign “well intentioned?” She is flat out wrong
