[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, don't let these people discourage you.  If you believe in the message of the sign, put it up.  I don't understand the position people take where you can't do one thing to support a cause unless you do EVERYthing.  You can't post on the internet about how you believe in BLM unless you are also showing up at protests.  You can't show up to one protest unless you have been going to protests for the last x number of years.  Showing up to protests on weekends is meaningless unless you are also a full-time racial justice advocate.

That is a stupid position in all its forms.  Sure, in-person activism is better than a yard sign.  A yard sign is also better than nothing.  Put up the sign, OP.  It shows your neighbors that your heart is in the right place.  Don't do nothing for fear of doing the wrong thing.[/quote]

It's because the general population is tired of the "overly political" people. Live and let live.

Stop the over sharing, that goes for FB too. [/quote]

Right, just do nothing and say nothing about the issues you care about.  Better yet, stop caring.  That's how you make the world a better place![/quote]
+1. Actually, I think the best choice is to make tons of money, move to Bethesda or North Arlington or McLean and then get on DCUM and rail about all the urban dwelling white hypocrites.  [/quote]
