The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI saw the strangest lawn sign on a walk through my neighborhood today
and I don't know what to make of it. Neighbors on either side of this house and most of the rest of the block have Black Lives Matter and Biden and Ilhan Omar signs. Is this sign intended to troll the neighbors, or are they trying to be funny, or something else? Red-baiting, maybe? I don't get it.

If that's what they are suggesting, it's probably not the best neighborhood to suggest it in. It's also kind of crude. I'll check now and then to see how long it lasts.

(115,658 posts)Not sure that a sign with the word 'asshole' might be appreciated in a neighborhood with a lot of kids, either.

(2,113 posts)I'm interpreting it that they're saying that all minorities' lives should matter but don't because white people can't relate. They are, technically, pink - not any of the aforementioned black, white, brown, yellow, red, LGBTQ or blue.
I think these people are okay. Their joke is just confusing.
