And The Presidential Campaign Signs Should Be Sprouting Any Day Now
-
Suburbs are becoming testy places because some locals object when their neighbors post Black Lives Matter signs, and this is interesting because it's happening in my neighborhood, where a church's BLM banner keeps getting torn down or, as I discovered shortly before finding this article, using spray paint to cross out "Black" and scrawl "ALL" above it. There are two things happening here, one being racism and the other being some people's denial that there's any problem with Black people and the cops in their town. In the latter case, it's a matter of lack of empathy; if you're not Black, you may not be aware of the experience of being Black in your town, but you CAN empathize and, well, if there's no problem, why would you object to the sign?
