The Left will not allow Whites to be seen as victims, or POC to be seen as victimizers

A mural painted to honor Iryna Zarutska — the Ukrainian refugee who was murdered while riding a North Carolina train — is being taken down after outrage in Providence, Rhode Island.
On Tuesday, a construction crew was seen near the exterior of The Dark Lady, an LGBTQ+ club in downtown Providence, working to remove the partly finished mural. The mural, which was painted on canvas, was lowered to the ground, folded up and taken away, WJAR-TV reported.
The mural's removal came as residents and elected officials complained about the artwork. The office of Mayor Brett Smiley told Fox News that he wanted the artwork taken down, saying that the art is "divisive and does not represent Providence."
"The murder of the individual depicted in this mural was a devastating tragedy, but the misguided, isolating intent of those funding murals like the one across the county is divisive and does not represent Providence," Smiley said in a statement.

They’d just as soon build a memorial to the black that murdered her.

We are truly living in Bizarro World. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Every time the moronic left does this sort of thing, they create a new extremist out of someone. Ultimately, the powerful want that... but I'm not sure the bleeding hearts who think they're doing something righteous understand what they're helping to create with their selective indignity.

So, blonde-haired blue-eyed humans do not "represent" Providence, Rhode Island. Duly noted...

The most callous people on the planet. Claim to care about women and victims of violent crimes, and prove daily that that is demonstrably false.

I’m definitely at the stage of Leftist “Progressive” Fatigue.
These moonbats could all be Thanos-snapped and I’m convinced the world would instantly begin to heal towards sanity.

I would like for the gay mayor dude to tell me just how the mural was divisive.

I don't understand why art has to represent Providence. If they were offered the Mona Lisa would they turn it down because Mona doesn't represent Providence?
