In fact, if your point was what you say it was, you didn't even need the
mannequin to make it. And yet, there was a mannequin and it was purple.

Wow, your racism is on full display today.

It's belittling because it's an obvious response to "Black Lives Matter" and
is basically saying, "Shut up." "All Lives" are not affected by police
brutality.

More blatant racism. White people are allowed to support the BLM cause.
Perhaps there's a non-racist in your "white neighborhood."
