The Rules
Posts must be:

Do you think people need to be annoyed or reminded of this 24/7? Why not put, Eat more vegetables? Or, Water Great! Or, Chew your food before swallowing to prevent choking? Point is that as well meaning as they are, the constant, propaganda style messaging is annoying. And counterproductive, unless you think you are special and the only one who wants to be, you know, not racist. It comes off as patronising. I mean, you may disagree but I am sure this is a big reason why it is being removed.
Why do you not tattoo end racism on your forehead? You are not being political, you just want to remind people of something most people actively do not want to be. Do it. Take a photo of it. Unless you are a racist, because why would you not do it, otherwise?
I look forward to you posting a photo of your forehead.
I'm really sorry that it may annoy you to be reminded of all the non-white folks who continue to struggle under a now increasingly racist nation. A nation, I might add, which is on an upward trajectory of bigotry and racism due to the current president, who I am 100% sure is directly or indirectly responsible for the removal of the slogan.
It was a visible, ongoing show of support from a wealthy, large organization, which carries impacts beyond what individual football fans may need to be reminded about.
People not eating vegetables or not drinking an optimal amount of water doesn't kill them. You know what kills people? Racialized violence that's normalized by society.
Damn bro
