The Exigent Duality

Was out for one of my walks today, and saw these signs on the front of a "Dairy Queen" just a few blocks from where I live:



I actually know the owner and he's struck me as a pretty chill dude, which makes me wonder if this is more of a "please don't burn my building down" plea than an actual position. Incidentally, I'm sure white people used to put "white owned" on their shops during the "Ku Klux Klan" heyday. Explain to me how so-called "Black Lives Matter" is any better?

There are several houses in my immediate neighborhood with lawn signs endorsing "Black Lives Matter".

Given the autopsy, "I can't breathe" is sounding more and more like "hands up, don't shoot" or "he was just buying Skittles". I'll continue to update my view as more information comes to light.

Hopefully the CEO of my employer does the same. He posted a company-wide take on the intranet site late last week, wherein he not only blamed the death on the cop's racism with zero evidence, but implied that his employees were the same by indicating how crucial it was for the company to continue "diversity and inclusion" training.
