Racism Everywhere!

Quote:
A Florida homeowner was ordered to remove a “Blue Lives Matter” flag she has displayed for years to honor her father and other police officers — active, retired and killed in the line of duty — because a neighbor complained it was racist.

If it was her home, and her private property, she can post the flag. A neighbor has no say in it.

She hasn't displayed it for years as this phrase is a recent take off on Black Lives Matter. With that being the case I question the entire story.

Blue is a "race"? Must be an alt left SJW thing in 2017.

Tho word is once a dark skin person becomes a cop: they somehow turn in pasty white skin KKK types, that was sarcasm.

well, I have to say that there are brave people everywhere.

I doubt I am brave enough to display any political flags; why making yourself a target? Even "arguing" with somebody can be pretty annoying.

I am just a coward.

This said, not sure why the flag is "racist."

She's part of a "homeowners association", which makes that not true. She must live in a glorified condo complex, where busybodies with no lives hate anyone who does anything the slightest bit different with their home.

It is a Florida hoa. They can be really strict about what signs or flags you can hang. If you do not want to be governed by an hoa do not move into one.

Simply a matter of HOA rules. There are all sorts of flags. They annoy all sorts of people. So some HOAs have a rule the only flag you can fly is the American one.

Maybe she can get agreement. But if not don't live in an HOA.

I would not find such a flag a friendly non partisan thing. I would, correctly or incorrectly, presume particular political beliefs were being put forth.
