Black Lives Matter Furious Their Graffiti-Wall ‘Mural’ Was ‘Defaced’

This is one of the funniest stories I’ve ever found while trawling for something to report on, and I’m excited to share it with you on The Ralph Retort here today.

This story is just so rich, and on so many levels, but mainly because the retard-race-hustlers can’t seem to get it through their skulls that graffiti walls belong to everyone. No group should be surprised when their work is painted over.

In this case, the BLM mural was up for 5 days before it was destroyed by the evil neo-Nazis, who sprayed racist lies all over the wall, such as the abhorrent claim that, “ALL lives matter“.

Graffiti murals are called graffiti murals because they’re meant to be used for graffiti. By everyone. But just like the campus commons at Mizzou that got taken over by a radical-leftist mob — who then proceeded to kick out all of the undesirables (i.e. the press) — these thugs think they get to own a public graffiti wall. A wall which was essentially just another form of a public free speech area.

Professor Melissa Click calls for “muscle” to remove undesirable press from a free-speech area at Missouri State University

Hmm, it almost seems like these progressive tyrants have the hidden mantra of, “free speech for me and not for thee“.

It’s almost like these hooligans are acting like the free-speech wall meant for the entire student population of the college should belong to the blacks alone.

Maybe they’re right, though… Hmm. What shall we do? The wall that was meant to be used for free speech got used for free speech. Someone call Loretta Lynch and have her arrest them for hate-speech, STAT!

Before we get into the delicious tears coming from the BLM faculty/activists — who were so surprised and upset that their mural on a graffiti wall got graffitied over that they just can’t even — I’ll do a transcription of what was spray painted onto the graffiti-wall, for those who have difficulty reading the script. Or are just lazy.

It says:

Wake up you neo-progressive fucks

We’re more alike than we are different

Everyone goes through their own shit

Life is hard, it transcends RACE & GENDER

Being a person is HARD

      ALL

#BLACKLIVESMATTER

Seriously fuck YOU

Now, let’s bust out that truffle-salt. I found this one on Athens News, which is a local paper for the Ohio University, where this event occurred.

A “Black Lives Matter” message on the graffiti wall on Mulberry Street in Athens was defaced overnight Tuesday, prompting outrage among some students and faculty members. Ohio University president Roderick McDavis also expressed concern in an email Wednesday.

The Ohio University Black Student Union and other students painted a hashtag with the words “BlackLivesMatter” and a “black power fist” on the wall last Friday evening (Dec. 4). Roughly five days later, it was painted over by an unknown party with a message attacking the “Black Lives Matter” mural painters as “neo-liberal f**ks.”

As seen in the photo above, the word “Black” in the hashtag painted by OU BSU students earlier was replaced with the word “All,” so the hashtag read “AllLivesMatter.” Various profanities are used in the defacement, painted in white and red, including the phrase “Being A Person is Hard. Seriosly [sic] F**k You.”

 

In an email sent out to OU students and shared on Compass, OU’s news website, President McDavis said, “To be sure, Black Lives Matter!” He wrote that OU is “not immune from the struggles, rhetoric, concerns or conversations about racism” that have been taking place recently in the U.S. Specifically, he said the university has been made aware of “instances of bias and racism” occurring publicly and on social media within the OU community, some of which The NEWS has reported on, here and here.

“This morning I witnessed for myself comments spray-painted on the Black Lives Matter statement on the graffiti wall,” McDavis wrote. “While this wall is a place for free speech and expression, this public denouncement of the Black Lives Matter movement is another example of the intensity with which our community is grappling with racism and the social movements of our time – movements that are intended to educate and not divide us.”

The anti-Black Lives Matter message – which was painted over as early as 1 p.m. Wednesday by a non-incendiary message from another student organization – led to prompt dismissal of the rhetoric and an outpouring of support for the Black Lives Matter movement and black students on OU’s campus from many students, alumni, faculty and on-campus activist organizations on social media.

Roughly 70 students, faculty and administrators, including McDavis, Jenny Hall-Jones, interim vice president for student affairs, and Shari Clarke, vice provost for diversity and inclusion, attended a meeting mid-Wednesday to discuss the incident and how the university should move forward. The topic of cultural competency courses for the university community was discussed.

Morgan Peterson, president of the OU BSU, attended the meeting. She said it seemed productive because students were able to address OU administrators about their issues directly.

“It showed me that they supported the black community, and it was truly appreciated,” she wrote in a text message Wednesday evening.

Moving forward, she said that the Black Student Union plans to issue a letter to all student organizations asking them to “support us in the Black Lives Matter” movement.

OU student Bobby Walker, an OU Student Union member who attended the meeting, said it was great for students to be able to come together and be heard, “especially in the chaos of finals week.” She said believes that some administrators, including McDavis and Hall-Jones, are “good people” and care about making OU a safer place for African-American students.

However: “…Their administrative positions and their interests in the university structurally restrict them from actually doing what it takes to make OU safer,” Walker maintained. “How can students of color feel safe when the names of racist donors decorate our buildings or when we’re invested in the prison industry which ravaged the same communities many students of color come from?”

“When the administration was asked today about (Steven) Schoonover’s name being up on the (College of Communication) building,” she said, “despite the blatantly racist email he sent earlier this year, they completely ignored the question.”

Walker is referencing a controversial email from Steven Schoonover, an OU Foundation trustee and major OU donor whose name graces the campus’ new College of Communication facility, sent to some OU Foundation officials and OU administrators earlier this year. It suggested that OU attempt to “play the race card” against faculty and students protesting a decision to move President McDavis and his wife off campus. The university did not take up his suggestion. Schoonover at the time denied any racist intent.
