It was only a matter of time. Comment section is good

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A statue of African American tennis legend Arthur Ashe on Richmond, Virginia's Monument Avenue has been vandalized with the words “White Lives Matter.”

Photos show the base of the monument tagged with white spray paint and the words “white lives matter" as well as the initials “WLM.” Those initials were then later painted over with “BLM.”

Richmond Police said they were alerted to the vandalism about 10:15 a.m. Wednesday. Police say red paint on the statue itself was already being cleaned off by community members

Another false flag. Popular opinion around here is that racism doesn't exist.

Sorry Walt but you’re wrong here. Fighting fire with fire is the only way to win this fight. I don’t necessarily agree with this vandalism but we can’t be passive.

The demand far exceeds the supply and that's not debatable.

Possible. Who in the hell has a problem with Arthur Ashe? Poor bastard didn’t even get to have fun catching AIDS. Didn’t get high, didn’t get to bust a bit. Just got it from a transfusion.

Yeah I agree with that. Messing up a statue of a good man changes nothing. My point is though we need to mobilize and meet these communists and cultural marxists on the streets and on the online battlegrounds. If we just remain passive and hide behind “oh I have a job” the demise of this country will be swift.
