New York City will name a street 'Black Lives Matter' in each burough
New York City will name a street at a "crucial" location in each borough for "Black Lives Matter," Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday.
"What will be clear the street name and on the streets of our city is that message that now this city must fully, fully deeply feel and this nation must as well, that Black Lives Matter," de Blasio said.
One of the locations will be near City Hall, and the other locations will be decided with participants, activists and city leaders, de Blasio said.
"Black Lives Matter" will also be painted on the streets.

(38,187 posts)Why do politicians think naming streets and other silly shit like that will solve a problem? That is just silly. It doesn't change anything. It is an insult as a response to the deaths of so many black people at the hands of violent cops.
We need out of touch aristocrats out of politics before anything meaningful will happen to effect actual change.

Has a sort of nice ring to it.
Make sure to extend the renaming far enough to take in Jared's building, too.

Other cities could do the same, for every street that has a tRump-branded property.

(As an alternative name a nearby street Black Lives Matter, and rename all of the streets that contain tRump-branded properties to "President Barack Obama Boulevard". I could live with that, too.)
