News headlines today: Dec. 20, 2019protection of black trans womanThe original message read"Protect Black Trans Women," but on Dec. 13, part of the word"protect" was replaced with"2A," an apparent reference to the Second Amendment, and"guns" was written over the word"trans."Students at the university repainted the original message, but two days later, the message was crossed out once more.

The message was written on the Beta Bridge, which is located on the outskirts of the University of Virginia's campus and is used as a forum for public expression, according to a statement from the university. "We recognize that people, particularly black trans women, feel demeaned or threatened by this message and the way it appeared on Beta Bridge," according to the statement."We also appreciate that black trans women are among one of the most vulnerable populations in our country.""We denounce the lack of action that the University administration has taken to support the affected communities," a statement from the Queer Student Union read.

So sad. Babies aren't born with hate. They are taught that by their surroundings.

Huh

The Presidential Candidate Mayor Pete the older AA community isn't to accepting. Due to his sexuality Bahamas Jamaica even Africa there are issues with homosexuality. AA Gay men are more flamboyant than others with there sexuality. Sad to hear and know. Idk am talking

Not being mean, being African American is a curse always accused and cut down? Being African American and Gay isn't all that accepted being a Trans Guy definitely isn't any better. Most are prostitutes means no work. Why no work unacceptable. Touchy subject in out of AA community

I’m confused as to what the original “mural” even means...

Imagine if these two group could simply put their message side by side on the Beta (?) Bridge. Would that be acceptable to all parties?

The students should paint it again and see what happens. :P

I'd bet there are many more people at UVA concerned about Virginia's Second Amendment (black gun) rights than there are black trans women at UVA.

Is this really news?

As long as it's not with any bad language and its according to the rules it should be ?

FakeNewsMedia

Dont say a word or risk being banned....

What do they need protection from...each other?

Why is this national news? America deserves better than a corrupt, low-IQ media complex that dumbs down the population by steering their attention away from things that actually matter. This isn't 'news'.....it's a grievance related to your social agenda.

Tampered with? Wth is that supposed to mean? Paint to whole fucking wall, who cares!?!?

Grafitti was Grafitti'd
