‘Blacks Must Sit At The Back…’: Racist Anti-Kamala Harris Signs Spotted At Denver Bus Stops
|
At this point, Donald Trump and the rest of his MAGA constituents have thoroughly indicated that they are incapable of coming up with fresh attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris that aren’t inherently racist. If it’s not Trump and his cohorts continuing to speak on Harris’ racial identity as if it’s any of their Caucasian business, it’s Trump’s campaign sharing racist memes about Black migrants in an effort to scare white America into thinking they’ll be taking over the country under Harris.
When MAGA minions aren’t calling Harris a “DEI Hire,” they’re insisting that Harris can’t run for President because of the long-overturned 1857 Dred Scott Supreme Court decision that ruled slaves weren’t citizens — an assertion that manages to be more racist than the original “birther” argument Trump and Trump supporters have tried desperately to resurrect against Harris.

Now, these race-obsessed race-baiters who constantly accuse “the left” of being race-obsessed race-baiters are out here leaving signs at bus stops that read, “Blacks must sit at the back of the us” while “Kamala’s migrants sit at the back,” which appears to be a continuance of white MAGA supporters, including the commander-in-Black-jobs himself, trying desperately to turn Black people against Harris by pitting Black Americans against migrants, which is a tried and true trick of white supremacy.

From The Denver Post:
Racist and anti-immigrant signs that also targeted Vice President Kamala Harris popped up Thursday in multiple bus stops along Colfax Avenue in Denver and Aurora, and transit agencies in at least one other state reported similar incidents.
“I wish I could say I were surprised, but in a year when a Black woman could become POTUS, those with hate in their heart are going to coordinate these kinds of atrocious, expensive campaigns to stir division,” Denver City Councilwoman Shontel Lewis said in a statement on X.
The first Denver sign was reported around 5 a.m. Thursday by a bus driver on the pole of a bus stop near the intersection of Colfax Avenue and Oneida Street, according to a news release from Regional Transportation District. The two other signs in Denver were found at Colfax’s intersections with Garfield Street, near St. Joseph’s Medical Center, and with Yosemite Street.
Around 8:20 a.m. Thursday, one man in Denver’s Congress Park neighborhood spotted two white women putting up the sign at the bus stop at Colfax and Garfield.
“It was one of those things where you know something is out of place, but you don’t know what’s going on,” said Congress Park resident Greg Bell, who recalled passing by two women who were carrying a white stepladder and trash bags he believes were holding the signs while he was on his way to the grocery store.
According to the Post, Regional Transportation District (RTD) officials reported similar signs that had appeared recently at bus stops in Chicago. The agency also said Colorado officials were connecting with other agencies across the county to “assess the magnitude of the coordinated racist activity.”
Perhaps investigators should start with a right-wing “artist” whose Instagram account features all of the racist signs found in Colorado, including a yellow “caution” sign that read, “Kamala’s Illegals.”
More from the Post:
An Instagram account linked to Sabo — a right-wing street artist known for controversial art criticizing progressive policies and candidates — posted photos of the three Denver signs and a fourth at the intersection of Nome Street and East Colfax Avenue in Aurora.
That intersection is near an Aurora apartment complex recently shut down for city health and building code violations, uprooting hundreds of Venezuelan migrants.
The post on the Instagram account that links to Sabo’s UNSAVORYAGENTS website references the apartment closure, standing by claims from building ownership that a Venezuelan gang took over the complex. Aurora police and city officials have repeatedly denied the claims.
The Instagram account linked to Sabo includes an Aug. 21 picture of a similar sign the caption states was posted at a bus stop outside the United Center, where the Democratic National Convention was happening.
Mind you, Republicans spent an entire night during the Republican National Convention lying about rises in crime in Black neighborhoods and surges in crime caused by undocumented migrants while crime data shows violent crime has done virtually nothing but fall in America over the last five decades, and that there is no evidence of a surge in crime caused by migrants.
It’s almost as if these people can’t decide which racial group they want to be racist against during this election year. No worries, though. Once everything is all said and done in November, they’ll likely go back to being equally bigoted against both Black and Brown people.
