MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO: BLACK LIVES MATTER STRIPPING, A SKEWED PRIORITY.

ICHEOKU says it is rather unfortunate that instead of focusing attention and resources on what will in fact improve black people's lives, Mayor Bill de Blasio is busy throwing Black Lives Matter a mere bone, painting a Black Lives Matter sign in front of Trump's Tower on 5th Avenue. What exactly is that supposed to be except pure confrontation, an in your face harassment of a man who worked hard to mount his flag in New York City. Will the Mayor's next move be to make New York pass an ordinance for the removal of the sign Trump Tower from the building or banish the president from New York. 

But how exactly is the stripping of Black Lives Matter at that particular section of 5th Avenue going to improve Black Lives Matter's lives and how many black people will it put food on their table or help pay their children's school fees or their family's energy bill. How does the stripping help black people overall. Will it stop black people's shooting themselves or by the police? Will it stop black peoples family dysfunction? Will it stop the use of crack cocaine and other drugs in black community? Will it stop domestic violence in black community? Will it create jobs for black people? What exactly is the intent and purpose of the street stripping that addresses the complaints of Black Lives Matter? 

ICHEOKU says such unnecessary pandering is what is wrong with politicians as they overlook the big picture items and tunnel-focus their energies on how to get under the skin of their opponents. After the defacing of the street, what next? Hopefully the Mayor will not rudely find out someday in the future when he needs a Federal government's bailout or any other help from Washington DC that an otherwise avoidable antagonization of a president is not a good idea. Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman just found out when his due promotion can only be assented to by the president and it forced himself out of a military career of over 21 years. 

What exactly did the president do to and that hurt black people, afterall he was not the Mayor of Minneapolis nor the police chief there where George Floyd was murdered. The president does not run the City of New York nor is he in charge of the New York Police Department that Black Lives Matter people complain about. The president did not infest black neighborhoods with drugs nor guns with which they kill themselves. The president did not author the 1994 Crime Bill that destroyed a lot of black families, Joe Biden did. So instead of painting Black Lives Matter in front of the president's building, why did the Mayor not paint the Black Lives Matter where it should've mattered, in front of the buildings of those responsible for the actions which Black Lives Matter are complaining about, the NYPD's building or even City Hall for that matter. 

But distraction is the name of the game and a shinning object thrown somewhere will serve to take the attention off the people who are really responsible for the complaints being made by Black Lives Matter. Mayor Bill de Blasio has descended to a new low, actively participating in such an affront and you wonder how he plans to get anything else done in New York with such a septic mindset. It is not only black people that live in New York and the president never did a thing to warrant such blatant defacing of a street in front of his building. It is a sad day when elected officials start being so openly partisan and you wonder what will happen if any red State's City Mayor decides to paint "Joe Biden authored 1994 Crime Bill" on their Street or even MAGA for that matter. Bill de Blasio, shame on you.
