The Thin Blue Line is being stretched across store fronts in one small Mississippi town today. Of course I have a suspicion this is taking place across the country...
In response to the untimely deaths of so many unarmed black citizens the Black Lives Matter movement is being glossed over by the 'Blue Lives Matter' advocates responding to one of the safest decades in a century for Police in America. This is despite the FAUX NEWS attempt to convince lessor witted Americans otherwise.
No one has ever said 'White Lives Don't Matter' nor has anyone said 'Blue Lives Don't Matter'. That would be ridiculous. About as ridiculous as the following scenario which perfectly sums up the very real and very ridiculous situation Black Lives Matter is in today.
Just like the 'All Lives Matter' campaign, the 'Blue Lives Matter' campaign did not and would not exist if the systemic dangers to black people in America were not being forced into public discourse by Black Lives Matter. Both are attempts to sidestep the issue and belittle Black Lives Matter.
Both are tactics racist use to say 'Back Lives Don't Matter'.
Just in case anyone is in doubt about this racist counter-campaign I offer the following image with the clear message, "(Black Lives Don't Matter,) THIER LIVES MATTER"
All this is taking place in Pontotoc MS. A very small town outside of Tupelo MS. the birthplace of Elvis. A typical southern-fried deep south town with rebel flags on every 3rd motor vehicle. The local sports team is The Warriors and uses a Native American headdress as a team logo. Which is also extremely offensive and racist on its own.
UPDATE: MORE PHOTOS
BONUS: This sign was spotted nearby across the border in Tennessee. Keeping it classy.
