You think equal rights and fair treatment for all is “politics”?
They aren't banning masks that say "equal rights and fair treatment for ALL" , they are banning BLM masks, BLM is a political movement/organization.
No BLM is a statement that black lives matter. That's completely different from saying, for instance, blue lives matter. One is a race that people are born into and the other is a job. It's not political, it's a cry for help.
Ya it's a political movement that wants cops to stop killing black people.
Unfortunately it is.
Being neutral about racism is effectively being racist.
So telling someone not to wear a pin is now racist?
Summer people think MAGA is patriotic. Personally I wouldn't want someone wearing that either.
