It's gentrified hugely over the course of my life, but I'd guess there's still a fair number of PoC's in the city ... which is the County Seat of Contra Costa County ... a pretty damn liberal county overall (and the one I call home, even if I don't currently live there).

I would be worried about what's going to happen to me when people find out who I am if I'm those people, I'll leave it at that.

is trying to erase? Does she think black paint on asphalt is like White Out Correction Fluid?

But now the sign will say BLACK lives matter.

And this couple will probably get a bill from the city.

Now the writing and color are going to be even more noticeable and appropriate plus she has to pay $$$ for being a racist. I'm all for that. Another added bonus...she will be humiliated and possibly out of a job. I wonder if she thinks it was worth it. Actually, she probably would say "yes" since these idiots are so full of hate.

Meanwhile, Fat Donnie's trying to figure out how to get the National Guard to lay asphalt over the "Black Lives Matter" sign on the street leading to the WH.

Seems like Karens are popping up all over the place. Funny that she is doing the hard work of defacing the street while her husband? is ranting. Eventually she does start screaming which seems to be the MO of these Karen creatures. There is always a note of hysteria with the Karens.

Assuming Home Depot is still open.

Personally, I would have suggested she choose a pointillism approach - would use less paint - but would require her to have actually attended an art college where she might have also learned a bit of critical thinking and some understanding of social issues and also maybe something about performance art.

NOTE: This post is totally full of snark and sarcasm.

This rocket scientist thought she would paint that 100' writing with a single gallon of paint.

The best part is when she grabs the can and bangs it on the ground to get a tiny bit more paint out of it. LOL
