Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday that the Black Lives Matter movement โtranscends any notion of politics.โ That was his excuse for allowing the words to be painted on streets but not other murals like Blue Lives matter.
โThis is about something much bigger than any one group,โ de Blasio said during his daily City Hall press briefing after a reporter asked him why not other murals.
โThis is about righting a wrong and moving forward. So I think thatโs the right approach,โ Hizzoner said as he explained why he had โBlack Lives Matterโ painted in massive yellow letters on city streets, taking part in several of the painting processes.
De Blasio plans to put these murals all over each borough.
โI think we have had a seismic moment in this countryโs history,โ de Blasio said Thursday as he compared the recent nationwide protests to the โcivil rights movement of โ50s and โ60s in terms of its importance.โ
โThe original sin of the United States of America โ slavery, and all of the effects over 400 years being brought out into the open in a new way and a chance for this country to get it right to address this problem to move forward and itโs summarized in the three words: Black Lives Matter,โ he said.
De Blasio said he does not believe โBlack Lives Matterโ is โa political message in the traditional sense.โ
Obviously, it is a very political, Marxist message. Thatโs all de Blasio cares about. While heโs pushing communism, black lives are lost in his city.
HE CARES LITTLE ABOUT THE BLACK LIVES LOST UNDER HIS POLICIES
De Blasio is a racist. He doesnโt care at all about black people. How can he tie the hands of police and give the okay to criminals to run wild and kill 1-year-old babies, a 7-year-old child, and a 14-year-old child in a little more than a week? Thatโs true racism.
This is a crisis against poor people and especially minorities.
All de Blasio stands for is lettering on the street while he ignores dead innocents, a grandmother on a stoop, a 4-year-old asleep in bed.
This fool is going to sue to stop the federal governmentย from sending in help to stop the mayhem and killings. And he wonโt stop it himself. Thatโs true racism. Meanwhile, the truly dumb mayor seems unaware that dozens of federal agencies already work in New York City to stop crime, including fusion centers.
Guess he wants more violence.

He doesnโt care about these black lives. That is racist. If the slogan ‘Black Lives Matter’ really meant what they claim it means, we would all be on board.
DEMOCRATS – WATCH AND WATCH GOOD… This is real, and until you stop electing democrat leadership that doesnโt give a damn about your safety, this is what you have to fear. pic.twitter.com/HHUSpKZ2Fy
