Family ordered to take down BLM sign in posh area

[Dekster]

My neighborhood has sign restrictions as part of the covenants. For Sale, No Trespassing and Beware of the Dog are really the only signs technically permitted to be seen from the street but there is no HOA so you would have to sue your neighbor to try to force them to comply with the restrictions if they posted a BLM or "No Smoking Qxygen In Use" sign and it bothered you that much.

If Tommy was attacked by BLM, he would understand and accept it

That mother ****** won't address my post because I caught him in being a total fat ass hypocrite.

Neighbour tells family to take down Black Lives Matter sign because it ‘doesn’t reflect well on area’

Neighbour says family’s house is ‘very tastefully designed apart from the sign’

Yes we have racists in the UK as well.

Its quite encouraging the messages of support this gentleman received after this.

"One user responded sharing a story of a similar incident in their area that was met with local solidarity, saying: “Someone in my neighbourhood left an anonymous letter like this for a neighbour with a BLM sign. She shared it with [social network app] Nextdoor and within a week, 10 more had popped up.”

This is one of the things I love about Britain. By and large they hate nazis.

Hey stupid. We imported slavery from you dumb ass. You fuckers started it practically.

A man named York was the biggest slave trader stupid....lolol

No wonder we kicked their asses bigly twice. And saved them from Germany 2 times

The issue with this sign raises a complex question about the freedom of speech ( and the freedom of self-expression as a part of it). This freedom isnt absolute, but where should limits be drawn?

Basically, forbidding ideas (and exterior signs of them) is a stupid thing, it only leads to the opposite result.

The USMB Klan has already decided that it should be taken down. They have no qualms on a free speech basis because the only free speech they recognise is their own spew.

I’m sure everyone’s excited about that enticing snippet.

Maybe, but that is a two way road. The same way as a BLM sign is protected, a sign of say EDL should be protected too.

You place both organisations on the same pedestal and that is a fallacy. The edl (disbanded I think) was a pure hate organisation dedicated to making the UK white. BLM just wants fair play. There is no comparison.

That doesnt really matter in this case. I am sure the EDL supporters can find a number of reasons why this organization is 'good' and why it is better than BLM. It is all a subjective matter.

Letting subjective opinions decide what idea is right or wrong is a slippery slope. Either you support the freedom of expression or not.

The BBC follows this policy and it is a mistake. There is a political spectrum from right to left that all hold valid opinions and should be heard.

Outside of that there are organisations that just spread fear and hate. They should not enjoy that privilege.

If you are an Asian and your neighbour puts up a "Paki out" banner then that is something that cant be tolerated.

Isis flags would not be tolerated so why should the edl ?

Writer Dr Rakib Ehsan told Sky News the Labour Party and the broader political left have presented a “fundamentally warped interpretation” of British society.

Dr Ehsan said Britain was one of the most “successful examples of a multi-racial democracy” despite assertions to the contrary by the “doom and gloom grievance mongers” on the left. “It’s the leading country when it comes to Western Europe, when it comes to anti-discrimination protections,” he said. “More broadly, I think apart from Canada, it really is one of the most successful examples of a white-majority, multi-ethnic democracy. “We have the doom and gloom grievance mongers on the British left; they’re perhaps either emotionally or financially invested in peddling these really negative narratives surrounding race relations in the UK.”

If my neighbor asked me to remove some sign because it hurt some of their feelings, I might well do that out of respect them. Out of that, what else can you do about that?

ISIS may have been recognized as a terrorist organization in your country, so waving its flag may be considered as supporting of terrorist organization.

Neighbour tells family to take down Black Lives Matter sign because it ‘doesn’t reflect well on area’

Neighbour says family’s house is ‘very tastefully designed apart from the sign’

Yes we have racists in the UK as well.

It's good to know the people of the UK recognize BLM as the violent, Marxist, RACIST terrorist organization it is.

Well that isnt the case is it ?

Their rallies are well supported because they are campaigning for a fairer society. It only seems to be the racist loons on here who have a problem with treating Black folk as equals.

The bigger problem is getting blacks to behave as equals

The bigger problem is stopping racist police forces from killing black folk and then getting away with it.

I know that you feel the police should be able to kill every minority but that is not a view shared by civilised folk.

The bigger problem is the overwhelming violence from the black folks

Black folk have had 400 years of violence from trash like you. Reap what you sow.

No, for thousand of years they've been running around in the jungle, living in mud huts, waring with neighboring tribes and living like cave men, and they still are, while the western world has advanced far beyond them, and to assume you can take them out of the jungle and expect them to integrate into a modern society is retarded. You people are just stupid. You can take blacks out of the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out of the blacks. Blacks are just DIFFERENT. Is there something WRONG with being DIFFERENT? No. But there is something wrong with thinking everyone HAS TO BE THE SAME, when in reality, it's just NOT POSSIBLE.

Since when is it "racist" to oppose open advertisements for insurrectionist Marxist outfits like BLM?

And racist....they are above all a racist organization...

They are not campaigning for a fairer society, they are burning, looting and killing to increase their power and control.....

They don't care about blacks, blacks are simply their tool for getting gullible idiots like you to give in to them and to allow them to burn, loot and kill without consequences....

 

[2aguy]

Personally, as a 1st Amendment absolutist, they can put up whatever flag they want on their own property....but in Britain, if you can't legally display a national socialist flag......the nazi flag, then blm, the other nazis....shouldn't be allowed to put up their flags either...
