No, because non-racist people don't insinuate that all black people live in the ghetto and are inherently violent. GD> Curious what page is that within your copy of the Democratic playbook? The page that says to treat everyone with respect and dignity, regardless of race. GD> You did NOT even notice that I said "some" - multiple times....

Give the ongoing issue of disproportionate police brutality towards black people, many white people do not consider BLM t-shirts to be offensive.
