[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you need a sign on your front lawn to support a cause? More effective would be to volunteer or DO something rather than a shallow sign of status. [/quote]

I agree that only having a yard sign is not enough.  [b]But I don't think that OP is suggesting that having a yard sign is her only form of activism[/b].

Having a yard sign or bumper sticker or button or whatever is a very easy, very cheap, very small thing.  But, I don't think it's harmful. [/quote]

Actually, OP said exactly that. She admitted that her only form of activism is her "social worker" job and she can't do much more than that.  So, yeah, basically OP just wants to put a sign on her lawn (and still send her kid to LAMB).  Just another hypocrite.  [/quote]Hey I would rather see a sign in OP's yard and know that one more person cares about black people being shot by police.  I don't give a damn if she's a hypocrite.  Better a sign than nothing.[/quote]

She should also care about police being shot by black people too. Or blacks that kill blacks which is more prevalent. Pick your battles but IMO the neighborhood isn't the place to get political. [/quote]

+ a million[/quote]

Exactly!!!!!!!![/quote]Good to know. I welcome you pps to come to my neighborhood and get involved in working with children so you can help create positive change.  I'm so glad to know that you care about these folks and are going to get actively involved in helping out the community.  Because, after this discussion, I know how important it is to many posters that they not appear to be hypocrites.[/quote]

Same goes for you!![/quote]Hahah!  I [i]am[/i] working with children in my neighborhood and do regular fundraising for a tutoring program aimed at underserved kids.  Tutored a kid for years who is now in college so I know that this kind of volunteering can help.  Would love to see you there!  We need a lot more people like you who seem to be very worried about poor black children.  Don't be a hypocrite.[/quote]
