BLM plaza outside White House removed

Anti-woke warriors celebrate as BLM plaza outside White House demolished

Construction crews descended on Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, D.C. Monday to erase a bright yellow mural that has been across from the White House since 2020.

The name of the movement was spelled out on the road in giant 35-foot tall letters following the death of George Floyd.

It is just steps from the White House and was a pointed push back against police brutality.

However, in recent weeks a GOP proposal in Congress threatened to pull funding from Washington's local government unless the plaza is renamed and the phrase 'Black Lives Matter' removed from the street.

Roughly a dozen construction workers equipped with pickaxes, jackhammers and John Deere construction vehicles were seen smashing, slashing and hacking away parts of the instillation (sic) on Monday morning.

'First, they attacked critical race theory. Then, they banned books. Then DEI, Now they're erasing Black Lives Matter Plaza,' the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation wrote in a statement.

'Big mistake. You can't erase truth. Republicans hate that they have to walk past it. Hate that it reminds them of our power,' the group wrote.

But for those who have viewed the plaza more as a performative gesture than an actual counter to police violence, the demolition is seen as a victory.

'The Black Lives Matter Plaza is being demolished! Because ALL lives matter,' one X user posted Monday morning.

'Demolition crews move in on BLM Plaza in downtown DC— directly in front of the White House,' conservative commentator Danny De Urbina wrote. 'We will destroy your pagan temples.'

Another talk show host, Cash Loren, posted: 'LET'S GO! Work Crews are dismantling Black Lives Matter Plaza in DC. America wins. Marxism loses.'

Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., who introduced the anti-BLM plaza proposal, also celebrated the mural's removal on Monday.

'One week after I introduced legislation to rename Black Lives Matter Plaza, workers have started dismantling it,' he posted. 'Making D.C. Great Again!'

Clyde's measure, which has yet to be voted on, would 'withhold certain apportionment funds from the District of Columbia unless the Mayor removes the phrase Black Lives Matter from the street.

It re-designates the area as Liberty Plaza, and removes 'such phrase from each website, document and other material under the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia.'

After originally stating that the bright yellow BLM mural would be permanent, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser revealed last week that she will transform the plaza after the Republican's bill was introduced.

'The mural inspired millions and helped our city through a very painful period,' Bowser said. 'But now we can't afford to be distracted by meaningless congressional interference.'

'The devastating impacts of the federal job cuts must be our number one concern. Our focus is on economic growth, public safety, and supporting our residents affected by these cuts,' she said.

Bowser wrote on social media that the 'evolution' of the plaza will be a part of celebrating America's 250th birthday in July 2026, a nationwide effort to revamp cities and localities to commemorate the anniversary.

'We have long considered Black Lives Matter Plaza's evolution and the plaza will be part of DC's America 250 mural project, where we will invite students and artists to create new murals across all eight wards,' Bowser said.

Construction on the plaza is expected to take six to eight weeks, according to the District Department of Transportation.

It should be a memorial to all those lost after being attacked by BLM.

The BLM leaders couldn’t care less. Their extortion campaign was more successful than they could have imagined. They got their millions, bought mansions and luxury cars and told the average black guy to fuck off.

They're laughing all the way to the bank. It would be really funny if it weren't so sad. A real indictment as to how far we have fallen as a society. I guess its tough to oppose grifters when they are taking over your city and burning everything down.

Ugh… Good riddance. Also, thanks for the cross strikes through the superfluous drivel from the profiteers of BLM. No more free money for worthless grifters!

That was obligatory, as was Bowser's equally vile drivel. No way she got elected to a third term legitimately, sorry.

Black Lives matter's birth came about during a very violent episode where George Floyd was sufficated to death as the story went. There was a good deal of truth to it and most Americans saw some change was badly needed. The tragedy was those who became the leaders of BLM were for most part grifters out to get rich. And they enriched themselves with fancy cars, homes and lush vacations. Sad it came to that because many Black people who really needed help were left out in the cold.

I think the meaning of the organization when founded was good and I supported it....at first. So sorry for what it became because of the leadership. But I insist, the idea at first had a hell of a lot of merit.

"There was a good deal of truth to it and most Americans saw some change was badly needed.

That is so much bullshit. It was built on the FALSE premise that police brutality exists and that police targets black people for police brutality.

You admitted to its existence when you talked of "tuning up". Open mouth, insert foot.

And no, I don't believe it targets any particular "race".
