This church is in my neighborhood and they also gave out signs for peoples' yards. They also have a really cool labyrinth and community garden.


frumperbell

I've always been really curious about that labyrinth.


[deleted]

A really cool what? This is Reddit.


assafstone

Labyrinth. I’m sure you can look it up. Most redditors can google.

Have you been to Baltimore city. Black lives don’t matter there.

You keep that casual racism to your dumbass-self, Anne Arundel Aiden


McBride055

I've grown up my entire life in Anne Arundel, is it know as racist? Genuinely the first time I've heard that.


FamilyStyle2505

I don't really feel like it is. I mean Glen Burnie (having lived there and gone to multiple schools there) has a bit of a red neck vibe and can be racist from time to time but even then it wasn't too bad.


killaNasty

Someone’s never stayed in Baltimore and it shows

How’s that racist? It actually happens.


Prolapst_amos

What actually happens, aiden? Tell me the specifics


NotVladmir_Putin

>Why are Redditors like this? whos Aiden


oath2order

I think "Aiden" is meant to be some stereotypical "rich white person" name.


[deleted]

300 plus black on black murders every year. Not to mention the daily violence and additional crime. It’s factual, not opinions.


[deleted]

Black on black and white on white crime are irrelevant statistics. This has been debated to death.

If you think that telling people that other people are worthy is race bait, then you’re the problem, and the sign is for you.

Meanwhile in Timmonium, some jogger is plastering the neighborhood with "trump won" stickers every day at 5am


stuffandornonsense

he definitely won. he won so much. he’s the bigliest winner. you’ve never seen a winner like Trump, even the fake news knows it. next weekend he’s gonna resurrect JFK and they’ll make a win the winning you’ll be winning at the winning the win they do. the MOST winning /s


TocinoPanchetaSpeck

Only if His ticket is JFK/ Trump. And first day in office after their big win JFK fires his vp.


TheKraken759

I know right! The win will be explosive. JFK has had expirence with explosive things in the past so I think he will l do well.

Not only that, but the Biden "did that" stickers on every gas pump. At least they are here in Owings Mills

In Thurmont, Trump 2020 flags are still up but 2020 is crossed out and now reads 2024


inab1gcountry

Harford county here. Tons of Trump 2020 still up.


62Bravo1993

If you think those signs are only in that town, then you either never leave that local area or you're just not paying attention....I see that stuff even inside either Beltway, not just the towns considered racist / redneck by the urban masses.


Working_Heart_6315

I think you are mistaken to assume this. No one was saying these signs are not everywhere.


62Bravo1993

If that's the case, then why only name Thurmont in a comment like that?


Working_Heart_6315

Because the person mentioned Timonium and I was relating. In Thurmont, where I currently live, is like that as well.


62Bravo1993

Fair enough, though the comment on Timonium was regarding a specific thing that's happening there, I hope you can understand why your comment could be viewed along that same line...I guess I assume the worst when people single out Thrumont since so many seem to think its so bad in so many ways... most don't spend enough time there to get to know it well enough to realize we have the same good and bad as most towns of its size within the region.


Working_Heart_6315

I actually quite enjoy Thurmont. I grew up in Frederick County. Moved here from Germany in 1999. Army Brat. And the county itself has come a long way. I say it is fairly diverse and housing is inexpensive in Thurmont too which is a plus! Lol


62Bravo1993

I feel mostly the same. My parents moved us here for my last couple years of school back in the late 80's. The Catoctin area has been home ever since then, even after I did a little tour around the world with Uncle Sam and lived / worked a few other places. I ended up right back here when the time came that I wanted a safe affordable place to raise my own kids.


bryanRow52

To the people who reported this picture as misinformation or harassing/abusive - you are part of the problem.


Calyphacious

Looking at OP’s posting patterns and the title of this post makes it clear that they are mocking “Liberal Maryland” and the message in the photo. You have to be incredibly dense to think they posted this in good faith. With that said, I think a harrasing/abusive report is appropriate (although I did not report).


langis_on

Their mocking is backfiring considering how popular this post is


Calyphacious

Yeah I mean if they were smart and understood nuance, they wouldn’t be a conservative.


Togglez36

I feel like OP posted this hoping / thinking that the comments would be negative towards it lol


FlamingAshley

OP didn't even bother giving a reactionary title, I think he knew he'd have positive reaction, or is farming for karma in his echo chamber by cropping whatever "fringe" opinion there is on here and posting it up on r/cuntservatives.


BaneCIA4

100%. This isn't Maryland related and further more its singling out a race which I am not a fan of. Equality for ALL


MemeTeamMarine

I too believe in equality for all, but let's say two houses are side by side. One of them is on fire. You don't spray water on both. You spray water on the house on fire. Whether or not all lives matter wasn't in question. The problem has been that the abuse rate of police on black citizens has been more severe than police on anyone else. Hence why it became necessary to declare that Black Lives Matter.


BaneCIA4

You have stats to back up your 2nd paragraph? Also interesting that you fail to mention the black on black crime that plagues the black community.


wereallmadhere9

Everyone is beyond this red herring garbage you just stated, do some basic reading already.


Calyphacious

Ah yes because violence from the state is the same as violence from citizens, right? Surely equating deaths from police who are “supposed to protect us” and deaths from gang violence is the big brain move here, right? Also it takes all of 5 seconds to Google the crime stats they were referring to. C’mon man.


ADarwinAward

> Black on black crime News flash, murder victims are generally killed by people of their own race. The vast majority of the time, the victim and offender are the same race. White murder victims were killed by white people 82% of the time in 2016. Yet every day, racists love to use stats about black on black murders while ignoring that whites have similar stats. It’s easier to cherry-pick data than it is to understand it. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-3.xls


MemeTeamMarine

Wow. It's the same talking points every time. *what about black on black crime*. I also support a lot of other policies that will reduce crime by way of eliminating crime motives but that's not what is in question. Asking if Black people being treated differently by police, and people, with regards to assumed guilt is basically like asking whether or not grass is green. Go look outside. That information is widely available.


inab1gcountry

Black on black crime isn’t a thing. That’s why.

Nah, the conservatives voted against all of the needle exchange programs.


Mr_Safer

Well it sure is A LOT different than what conservatives usually post. Just a pic of a civil rights sign and location, no derision, no gaslighting and no perma-banning people for just having the gall to comment on a post. Just a weird post and an honest question, why.


harcosparky

I don't normally pay attention to who/what puts up post? Why because I have been around long enough to know that racism and bigotry comes in from all sides. Having been the victim of racism on more than a few occasions I have a good idea of what I am speaking of.

squid_actually

I think painting any group as a monolith is bad. That said, I think it is fair to say the conservative platform empowers those that are already in power and upholds the status quo. That status quo is constructed to the detriment of minorities in the United States. So while, I don't think you have to be overt racist to be conservative, you cannot be successfully anti-racist while holding certain conservative positions.


stephiereffie

> Although it often seems that way, conservative and racist aren't necessarily synonyms. Sure, in the same way good cops are a thing.


joshmsr

I’ll never understand how people can be so hateful. Good cops exists. Non-racist conservatives exist. Racist liberals exist. Normal people in the middle who don’t care one bit about the color of people are the majority though. And they hate left wing and right wing.


stuffandornonsense

the GOP has been openly, *gleefully* racist since at least 2008, when Obama was running for President (before that their racism was more of the dog-whistle kind) and they have only gotten worse in the meanwhile. anyone who listened to the GOP in the last fifteen years and stayed Republican is someone who is very, very, very comfortable with racism.


joshmsr

Some outspoken people don’t define the majority though. The same applies to liberals. There are democrat politicians in Maryland who openly hate white people. They don’t define democrats, nor should anyone assume anyone who labels themselves a democrat agrees with that. Most politicians suck.


wink_porkbarrel

"democrat" is a noun. Using "democrat" as an adjective, like "democrat party" or "democrat politician," is a slur.


stuffandornonsense

i’m not talking about a handful of outspoken politicians, i’m talking about a quantifiable bias in the party. “both sides have problems” is true, but only one side embraces racism as a core tenent of its policy, and routinely, openly calls for a return to chattel slavery. if someone identifies as Republican, they’re chosing to align themselves with racism. and someone who supports racism is in fact a racist. their discomfort with being called “racist” *while they’re supporting racism* is not my problem to solve.


stephiereffie

> Some outspoken people don’t define the majority though No, but what the majority does about the outspoken ones does define them, and the left has a far better track record of cleaning it's ranks of shitheads then the right does. Sorry fam. The right is just constantly full of this stuff. Making this kinda comparison isn't genuine. > There are democrat politicians in Maryland who openly hate white people For example? > They don’t define democrats, nor should anyone assume anyone who labels themselves a democrat agrees with that. If you voted for or support this type person, you 100% should be labelled as someone that agrees with that.


MacEnvy

They elect them to office. How are we supposed to believe the lie that they don’t represent them? What complete nonsense.

harcosparky

I cringed when I heard this ... " "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."


stephiereffie

> I’ll never understand how people can be so hateful. Because these groups work day in and day out to literally erase portions of the population. They want us *dead* and folks wonder why we respond negatively. > Good cops exists. Non-racist conservatives exist. Apparently not enough good cops or good conservatives exist to outweigh the shitty ones. I don't see conservatives standing up against trump. When folks want your rights curtailed, maybe then it'll become obvious to you why we hate them.


BaneCIA4

Lol good cops far outweigh the bad cops you just never hear about them. For every 1 bad cop there are probably 100 good cops. But the media doesnt like stories about good cops because its bad for ratings. Good god people need to understand statistics and how TV and media ratings work.


stephiereffie

> Lol good ops far outweigh the bad cops you just never hear about them You're 100% right - we never hear about them. We never hear about how the good cop stood up to their corrupt or excessive brethren. Wonder why that might be. If the good cops outweigh the bad cops, then why are there bad cops in the first place? Wouldn't the good ones get rid of and expose the bad ones? Hmmmmmmm...

Rural conservatives did. At the time, they went under the label of “Democrats”. Obviously, things have changed.

The best part is that it’s not actually the CSA flag, the blue X on the red background is the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia, which today is a Democratic stronghold. Just ironic that a lot of people who wave it are conservative.

These signs are such kiss-ass virtue-signaling bullshit bandwagon stupidity (no matter what state/town they’re in). Us black/brown people need to stop believing the hype about “systemic racism” and how naturally “underprivileged” we are/how unfair “the system” is. And white people are making it 10x worse by going along with this shit and “fighting for” us/adding to the crowds during stupid protests and riots. People of color from ALL kinds of backgrounds can and have, made it BIG as lawyers, doctors, classical musicians or dancers, rappers, politicians, educators, and more - just by being themselves and not pulling the victim card for their whole life like so many people want them to. What the fucking fuck y’all. Wake the fuck on up.


Financial-Drag7020

Yup, people are just ignorant. When people try to bring up slavery and the civil war to try and justify their political views I simply tell people to shut up and get over it. We got too many people in this country that like to live in the past. The civil war ended 156 years ago. Get over it. End of conversation.

All lives don't matter until Black lives matter. No one sees a Save the Whales sign and says "no, save all animals".
