Obviously, no business wants to be associated with BLM any more than they want to be associated with the KKK. Every company I've ever worked for has had dress codes that prohibited divisive political slogans and offensive language.
Are you seriously equating BLM to the KKK?
BLM's message is "Please stop murdering us"
How the fuck is that divisive, political, or offensive?
What's divisive is morons like you saying "No, ALL LIVES MATTER".
You're either completely missing the point, in which case you're dumber than I thought possible, or you're willfully ignoring it, in which case you're just a racist.
Which is it?
I never said, and I never say, "All Lives Matter." That's what stupid conservatives say because they don't understand that's exactly the rhetorical trap BLM has set for them in order to call them racists. Please notice I didn't step in that trap, so don't shove me into it.
When it comes to "What belongs on people's clothes while representing their employer," BLM and KKK are the same.
BLM's message isn't really "Please stop murduring us." It's "You white people are all a bunch of racists."
It's slanderous (which is why it's offensive), it's obviously political at a glance, so inherently so that I don't know how to explain it, and a lot of people don't go for that shit and a lot of other people do (which makes it divisive).
