according to that twitter string, it's being painted with the same yellow paint that they use for street lines. It's permanent.

So taxpayers have to get it repaved. Close the street and roll out a sod lawn in the interim.

I don't do twitter so I can't link this, but a friend just sent me the tweet from BlackLivesMatter and they have denounced this as pandering to white liberals :)

Not sure they thought about the symbolism of vehicles driving over the words "black lives" every day. Not a good look.

All it will take is a couple of burnouts and panic stops and it will not be readable. I understand they are scared to death of BLM and the potential for violence...but... This looks like more of a photo op than anything else.

Looks like a bunch of white people doing the paining.

How is it trolling Trump?

The White House is the people's house. Just putting that sign in front of it.

Exactly. And how is this "trolling Trump"? Far as I can tell he's done more of an effort with Black outreach than the prior admin ever did. He's worked on prison reform, been the steward of a serious jobs boom, wages moving up, freed some non-violent criminals with otherwise ridiculous sentences, and there's more I can't recall. He's openly and actively appealed to AA's, what am I missing?

Yea, look at who's doing at least part of the painting. Whole lotta pasty white folk in that one pic. More symbolism over substance, the DC schools suck, why not start there?

It really has been masterful jujitsu on the part of Dems in the media to take the action of a cop in a deep blue city in a deep blue and place the blame on Trump, who not only denounced the act, but immediately called in the FBI and DOJ. Marketing execs would be so proud.

They just need to paint over the first two words and replace them with "OUR LAWS".

Does that pavement marking meet DOT standards?

I'd imagine that the autocratically renaming of this street just to "get" Trump is going to be popular with all the taxpayers who now have to go to the expense and aggravation of having to change their address on everything.

They misspelled ALL

this appears to be libs eating their own. BLM mad because they want to totally defund the police vs libs trying to placate the BLM movement.

Also, I honestly was not aware either that saying all lives matter has been used to denounce black lives matter. I genuinely have always believed that all lives regardless of the color of skin indeed do matter.
