After a White man repeatedly erased girl's 'Black Lives Matter' chalk drawing in front of her home, neighbors stepped in to show support



(CNN)Every day for nearly a week, Manette Sharick and her 3-year-old daughter, Zhuri, drew "Black Lives Matter" in chalk across the sidewalk outside their home in Concord, California.

But every time they wrote the message, they woke up the next morning to find that the word Black, and only that word, had been erased.
"I just wanted to teach my daughter that Black lives matter, Black culture matters, Black communities matter, and that we are the movement for Black lives," Sharick, who is Black, told CNN. "I was shocked that someone could be purposefully doing this. It hurt a lot, it made me extremely upset."

Following three days of what she called "overwhelming frustration," Sharick wrote the message in direct view of her security camera.
That's when she saw a man she says she never met and only knows as Jim, pouring water over the message. In a video Sharick recorded on her phone after running out to confront him, the man tells her that he will continue to remove the word "as long as she keeps on doing this."

"I was only pouring across the word Black because I believe that all lives matter," Jim told CNN affiliate KGO. "I don't care what nationality, sexual orientation or any of that, we are all human beings."
He added that he erased the "Black" from Black Lives Matter because he felt in the beginning of the movement "it had good intentions" but now the phrase has been "hijacked."

After sharing the video on Instagram and Facebook on July 30, word began to spread. The next day, Sharick said dozens of people from in and out of the neighborhood showed up in front of Sharick's home with chalk to draw supporting messages all over the sidewalk on her side of the street and even in front of their own homes.

2. yep. He's lying about why he erased it "I thought it was racist against someone in the house"

lol. you knew a black family lived there and snuck over everyday to stick it to them.

3. He's completely full of shit about everything ...

Nobody but a friggin' racist is going to bother doing something like this, night after night.

Period.

4. "I don't care what nationality, sexual orientation or any of that..."

Sure you don't, asshole. People who say this (almost always conservatives) are OBSESSED with race, gender, and sexual orientation.

Just once I'd like a reporter to point out to one of these racist pricks that BLM isn't saying that ONLY black lives matter, so they can take their phony outrage over the term and shove it up their ass.

5. Does that man believe in freedom of speech?

Apparently he does because he's listening to people who use that right to tell lies about BLM.

Yet, he thinks his white privilege gives him the right to deny a child her right to free speech.
