Can you ever remove a Black Lives Matter poster?
White wokesters across the fruited plain will be agonizing over that social justice riddle tomorrow as they pull up their political yard signs. One way or another Biden 2020 will be over – but “systemic racism” is forever.
Dumping the raised fist they’ve proudly displayed these past months would suggest it was just an allyship of convenience, a paleface effort to exploit BLM to win an election. I think the sign has to stay, Karen.
The permanent BLM yard sign is a symbol of the most significant outcome of this election: The Democratic Party’s embrace of a zero-sum, Darwinian view of America that commits its powerbrokers – who comprise much of the corporate and intellectual elite that runs the country – to grouping citizens into oppressors and the oppressed, and tackling the problem with a new vocabulary and social programs to match.
This mindset — encapsulated by the New York Times 1619 project, which recast American history through the lens of racial oppression and the implicit urgency of reparation payments — is a direct repudiation of the vision Barack Obama rode to power on in his 2004 speech at the Democratic National Convention. In that address, he proclaimed, “There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America — there’s the United States of America.”
Since then, the ascendant left that now dominates Obama’s political party has not only mainstreamed radical ideas such as critical race theory that were considered beyond the pale just a few years ago, but entrenched them in American society.
Replace them all with WHITE Lives MATTER !!!
