D.C. Mayor Paints Giant 'Black Lives Matter' Street Mural Near White House

Yaaaasssss! Do it, Sista!

Good to see.

I just hope she didn’t use taxpayers time or paint for that. You know it will be “looked into” by the Bunker Boy.

And I fucking hope she DID.

Bunker boy is a loser. He had so many chances. Never has a bigger loser walked the earth.

Thank you, Mayor Bowser!

And, to be clear, I meant my post to be in STRONG support of the D.C. Mayor as I think it is a GOOD use of tax funds. Stop being so fearful of the reaction of white supremacists. 2020 has been awful, but this might be the beginning of us turning a corner.

Beautifully done/realized - I can just imagine the mess, if this had been done here in England.

BLM are already thumbing their noses at it per the article. WTF do you ppl want???

I prefer "Bunker Bitch" over "Bunker Boy."

Bunker Boy is too nice.

I'm so done with this particular moral panic. Democrats can't help but make asses out of themselves in public. At least they've let up on the fucking masks.

Thanks for chiming in, Boris/R11.

Now please go the fuck away. Nobody actually gives a fuck what you think.

Speak for yourself.

Differing views are interesting.

R11 is not a point of view. It's just trolling.

I'm surprised she didn't paint "Sponsored by Muriel Bowser", as she seems to enjoy the attention.

R12 - While Russia's information war is very real and a legitimate threat, I kind hate this default assumption that every racist, xenophobic or divisive thing posted on here is courtesy of a Russian troll farm. In this particular case it may very well be, but let's also be real, although they're starting to die off (thank God), there are still PLENTY of racist, xenophobic, shit-stirring, hyper-conservative Americans. And, yes, unfortunately, some of them are gay, too.

Russian troll bot is the new bigot. When the shoe fits, you're one. Doesn't matter if you're male, female, white, black, American, Russian, gay, straight, bi, trans, etc.

Absolutely love it!

If she used City workers, did anyone check the spelling?

Fucking brilliant. Love it. Anyone who thinks different can go choke themselves in their fucking Klan robes.

Or in DL's case, their Klan Kaftans, R20?

Purposeful, and actually pretty hilarious.

She did that all by herself?

Angry Bethesda Biker is going to be so pissed! He'll have to find more children to assault.

Mayor Bowser just officially renamed the section of 16th street in front of the White House “Black Lives Matter Plaza."

Cringey.

R25 - I thought you were joking, but, damn, she actually did it. That is so cool. Yes, I know this doesn't suddenly end systemic racism or reform police brutality. But symbolism matters as well. And, damn, Trump must be fucking livid. Well done, Madame Mayor.

How performative.

I love this backlash on trump. First order to remove the military troops from D.C., and now the street painting and plaza renamed. I hope this happens all over the country.

The DC National Guard will be on some of the streets. But totally unarmed.

“You’re terrible, Muriel!” She’s outstanding at trolling Bunker Boy and standing up to his bullshit. Black lesbian mayors do not play!

Is this our Muriel?

Dems should declare a moratorium on taking any actions based on how they think it will make TRUMP feel.

BLM Plaza!!

Parking signs being replaced outside White House.

Is the world going to fall apart when people drive on it and walk on it?

I know this is not an actual satellite image, but just shopped to show you the placement and scale of the actual street painting, but, it's still damn satisfying to see. (Click through to see the annotation for The White House)

The inevitable flood of tears and Facebook rants from triggered conservatives warms my heart.

"... although they're starting to die off (thank God), there are still PLENTY of racist, xenophobic, shit-stirring, hyper-conservative Americans. "

Still plenty and always will be. It just takes someone like Trump to bring them out.

They're not dying off.

Read the news on any given day, and you'll see that racism is alive and well in the younger generations.

The thing is that the group of actual bigots gets smaller and smaller with each generation, because children and teenagers of bigot families get exposed to what they are supposed to hate and find things to appreciate about them and, with a support system in place, turn their backs on their bigot blood relatives. Just like gay teens do when they find a loving support system outside their homophobic families.

Religion with their colleges, and other means of conditioning impressionable teens, will be gone within the third or fourth coming generation.

The future is bright, but we just can't see it past our own.

Sorry, The future is bright, but we just can't see beyond our own.

There are plenty of bigots and generation Z

In Gen Z

Rep. John Lewis at BLM Plaza. Powerful stuff.
