Sure would be a shame if people went out at night and fixed it.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Since it's additional paint, it'd be easier to just hose the whole thing down so either they can't paint it or the paint doesn't stick.
Would be amazing to have happen but they’re trying to start shit at this point.
They need a response they can escalate.
Trump is inciting riots so he can use it as an excuse for Martial Law.
So I'm neither Black or American, but this is just so profoundly sad for me. It was a symbol of people coming together, a symbol of American people still knowing how to fight for their rights.
It's as if they tore down the Statue of Liberty, in ways worse because BLM was a grassroots thing instead of a state gift.
Should have just changed Black for White. That way they can save on paint and literally have the same effect.
Picturing painting strike through and then white above it.
Look the government just doesn’t have any money. None for usaid, none for Ukraine, none for science or education or healthcare, there’s just no money.
Except I guess for performative bullshit like painting over this mural.
We also have the budget to fund ethnic cleaning of Gaza and reconstruction enough to hand it over to luxury real estate developera.
Also the budget to have a sovereign wealth fund that suspiciously looks like it is set up to let Elon use it to buy TikTok using taxpayer dollars.
We can find quite a bit of money by doing away with pesky things like social security. Think how much money are could have if we just euthanized people at retirement age.

Can we make it cool like Carousel?
You couldn’t pay me to paint over it. I’d rather quit or be fired.
Somebody is gonna win a Pulitzer with their pictures of this.
Shameful.
The Republicans are nothing if not petty little babies.
You can repaint it when Trump and the oligarchs are awaiting their fate in Guantanamo Bay.
