NYC closes down stretch of 5th Avenue at Trump Tower to paint BLM mural

De Blasio defended the mural after the president decried its announcement.

"Here’s what you don’t understand: Black people BUILT 5th Ave and so much of this nation. Your 'luxury' came from THEIR labor, for which they have never been justly compensated. We are honoring them," the mayor."The fact that you see it as denigrating your street is the definition of racism." Similar murals have been painted in cities across the country, and in Washington D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser had"Black Lives Matter"But the murals haven't only drawn criticism from the president and his allies. Dominique Hazzard, a Black Washingtonian and organizer with the Black Youth Project 100, told NBC News in JuneHazzard said she wanted to see policies that showed that the mayor was dedicated to materially improving the lives of black Washingtonians, not just a road display.

"It is important to keep focus on our city's local issues and the lives lost to prisons and police here in D.C.," Hazzard said.

How will Trump like this? 🤔

Yeah!!!

Every biker in the world knows how slick those painted lines at intersections are. New York City is going to get the 5H17 sued out of it when the first biker goes down and is injured or killed. Stupid MFers!!!

Why is the Democratic government is committing criminal acts. They is helping terrorists commit against innocent decent peoples.

This is DISGUSTING! BLM aka Black LIES Matter is a domestic, terrorist HATE GROUP. BilldeBlasio MUST GO!!

Sorry but it's on the street. Personally, I would prefer that it be on a wall to be viewed not on the street where it's walked on, and cars & buses roll over it.

Oh Please...NYC is becoming a violent joke!....No one in their right mind would visit there (especially unarmed!) BilldeBlasio NYGovCuomo

And the next block NRA or FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN ATHLETES

So this is what BilldeBlasio is doing to build peace in NewYork ? He’s so misguided. VoteHimOut

What does this accomplish? The mural would fit better in front of planned parenthood since the founder of Planned Parenthood was a eugenicist and founded Planned Parenthood for the purpose of wiping out the black race.

All black lives matter. All lives matter.

Yeah because Trump controls the NYC police... why aren’t they doing this at city hall or the mayors residence?

When people start getting in collisions.... imma laugh my azz off .... mural is covering road lines ..... I see lawsuits against the city in the near future 🤪

His Confederate white supremacist buddies aren't going to like this...

No problem. We do not need it. It is out and rolling. PoliceReform

We applaud Mayor DrBlasio response to Trump”Here’s what you don’t understand: Black people BUILT 5th Ave and so much of this nation. Your 'luxury' came from THEIR labor, for which they have never been justly compensated. We are honoring them”.

I wonder how many black people will be killed by black people while these black people legally vandalize 5th ave

Nobody goes to that part of NY even if you live there, I don’t even think tourist go there!!! With all the security there that area is a complete disaster traffic wise when the city is normal.

Now change the name of that section on 5th ave and rename it to honor president obama. That would make trumps head explode

Somebody in NYC - Please go out to that street tonight &paint the word ALL at the beginning of this mural so it will say AllBlackLivesMatter ! Not the radical leftist terrorists Bill Ayers&SusanRosenbergs organization that took BLM name &really doesn't help Black Lives at all!

All the yellow paint in the world wont stop the war zones in Democrat run cities. Carry on.

I hope it’s there a good long time

How many people have too much free time? Are never tired after work? Never worry about bills & get to enjoy life? How can you work hard for 40 years & still be in the same position as when you started, while watching a billionaires fortune continue to grow by millions every day?

Refusing to wear a mask in public only shows us that you have no humility or kindness & no sense of community. You could have it & the woman next to you might have a child that would be susceptible to it & die. So Your arrogance could kill people & you'll have to live with that!

Woooohooooo!!!

The irony is...Trump will claim to like it. Take pictures of himself standing near it. Celebrate it,....all just to piss off BLM. By the way, I wonder how NY's D.O.T. is doing on federal funds? Might be a while before they get more.

Many people dream to live in USA and you guys don’t take care and protect your land. Americans should talk with some people from Cuba and Venezuela and understand how they are throwing their country to the cliffs.

Nice!

Trump won't be moving back for another 4.5 years... this will be long gone by then. KAG2020

ajgma Every fkn day... 🤔

If I see it I'm gonna piss on it

Hallelujah! 🙌🏽 BlackLivesMatter Also... TrumpTower 🤣

Has government ever used public funds so flagrantly to taunt political opponents?

Absolute disgrace, shame on you NYC. All lives are important and valued. Do some reporting on the murders in South Africa, NBC. It will shock you especially one over the weekend.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is so childish. It has nothing to do with BLM but with de Blasio's personal vendetta against The Donald. I hope BLM enjoys being used in this fashion.

Fight the Devil's Mob! Black Lives Matter does not make Black Lives Better!

Black lives only matter when a white person takes it

No political statements should ever be painted in public streets. Would NYCMayor allow a Pro Life group do the same? Public streets are supposed to be safe and neutral.

This is dumb as hell

Can’t wait for realDonaldTrump to get a view of that. Hope it’s painted in dirty orange to match his skin.

Morning_Joe

That should piss off lil donnie

Morning_Joe I love it so much.

Morning_Joe PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT

Yes!

Tax payer gov property is separated from cult and state. No one can use agencies such as these to promote any religious BLM Islamic marxist message. No one voted in this did you?did you get a vote ?

Wow see this new corona virus antidote

We were told to be color blind, now we need to identify who is black?!?!?!

That is So Cool BlackLivesMatter NYC

I love the message and I love even more the sheer pettiness of the location

BilldeBlasio is an infantile buffoon.

Presidential.Harrassment... pity.😀😀😀😀😀😀

Awesome

I can't wait.... They should change the street name please!

More importantly, get rid of barricades around the NYC Trump properties. Why are we paying to defend physical assets when Trump isn't defending human life.

👍🏻🥂🇺🇸

This...doesn't solve anything.

Policy reform?

Awesome!

Can't we just close down this entire administration and do the same thing?

It's a great day for NYC.

Trump will call it...VANDALISM. & Trump will fine BLACK LIVES MATTER...especially now that Trump wants to fine schools if not reopen. Think BLM before confronting Trump.

Petty priorities prevail.

A black soldier slaughter and cut in peace’s the body of Hispanic woman soldier . BLM marxists say nothing! Hypocrites!

If the Black Lives Matter BLM people were intelligent at all, they would use every resource to keep Ghislaine Maxwell alive. Taking down white powerful men would do ~100x more than rioting in the streets. Either they don't want equality or aren't intelligent enough.

EXTRA LARGE LETTERS AND THE BRIGHTEST COLORS!!

Post a policeman there 24x7 so a trumpie can’t vandalize it

USA never surrender looters

THIS is the OBJECTIVE REALITY (see picture). ALL LIVES MATTER, now STOP with the RACE BAITING AND DIVISION, MAINSTREAM MEDIA!!!!!!!

Graffiti makes are cities look ghetto

deblasio’s boot-licking wife probably payin herself $1000.00 a minute to join in...... underqualifieddeblasiowife

I hope someone has the guts to go out tonight after it is done and paint ALL before it.

I don’t know why anyone thinks Trump hates blacks. He provided the lowest black unemployment ever in the history of this country.He implemented the First Step Act to get blacks out of jail, while Biden wrote the bills to keep blacks in jail-Biden called schools w blacks jungles.

Maybe they could also add this hat to the mural?

I wonder how many lives will be saved because of this pandering. 🙄
