The mayor of DC has renamed the plaza in front of the White House and Painted it in the street as a message to Trump . I think she’s a little annoyed with him

yes it is a statement but is it a statement that unites or divides?

And another thing, how could not wanting the police to unnecessarily kill black people ever be divisive? That if anything should be unifying...

Do you care? As a Trump supporter, you have been promoting division for years...
so all Trump supporters are the same? What do you call it when people make judgments about others based on their assumptions about them?

Of course not all Trump supporters are the same, but they all support someone that promotes division.

The most racist street name in the world?

Poor mexicans, asians, whites. Where are the streets saying they matter too?

Just another drop into the glass of the racial tension.

Yes that is true, the problem is that not everyone is going to receive that message when they see the statement that the mayor has made. Some are likely to be upset that they did not get to have any input in the decision of such a major change to a street.

There are some who vote for him because they do not agree with the platforms of the other party. There are some who defend him not because they feel he is right in what he says or does at times but because they appreciate the economy and other accomplishments and/or are outraged by the unfair treatment he has received. Like all things political nothing is simple and everything is a compromise.

If you support him, of course you enable all he does. If you don't like what he does, don't support him.

Ok, so it's about not having input into the decision to rename / brand a street that is the problem, not the actual street name / message?
