POLL | Should the DA take down its Phoenix posters because they ‘incite further racial division’?Are the posters doing more harm than good in the community or simply telling the truth? The must take it down No because its the truth.. VoetsekANC The posters reflect what the DA really is, which is racist. Innocent people were killed in Phoenix but, because they were Black, the DA believes they deserved to die. There are currently repercussions affecting Indians who had nothing to do with murders, which r likely to spread.
