Who knew a BLM sign could cause so much chaos?
Racism
When a white man traveled to Harrison, Arkansas — AKA a major Ku Klux Klan headquarters — and stood on the side of the road holding a Black Lives Matter sign, he knew he would get some pushback. However, he was probably unprepared for the vile hate thrown his way.
“F*ck You!,” “I wouldn’t stay after dark, man,” and “About 10 minutes I’m gonna be back. You better be f*cking gone,” are just a few of the words of “welcome” the man received.
Interestingly, one message was personally hand-written and handed to him by an anonymous woman. “Ignore the haters. You’re being peaceful. What your (sic) doing is good. Just a friendly reminder, don’t give up hope,” said the message.
Regrettably, many White Americans have bought into the incorrect theory that saying Black Lives Matter means ONLY Black lives matter — or that Black lives are somehow more important than others. That’s why they’ve frequently promoted the slogan “ALL LIVES MATTER.” However, the truth is that Black lives are in jeopardy at this point in time, which is the ONLY reason there is focus on the word “Black.”
Take a look at the hateful video below and applaud this White fellow for having the courage to hold a Black Lives Matter sign in what he himself calls “the most racist town in the United States.”

They haven’t bought into OR are confused about it at all. They know darn well We’re NOT saying Black lives are more important than others. So let’s STOP giving them cover. All throughout the history of America WE (Black Americans) have allowed White Americans to get away with Pretending they don’t know the Truth about the actual Black experience in this country (the relentless injustices, inequalities and violence) WE have been subjected too and had to endure for almost 400 years now. And all throughout American history ALL of that Evil has done tremendous damage to them and incalculable harm to (and wreaked havoc on) Us, in every way imaginable and unimaginable. Btw DJ- I thank you, as always, for putting up with Me and allowing me, and your other readers to have such an… Read more »
