    How many bumper stickers can you have before you start to look unhinged?

    I’d say three, what do you think?

      Political bumper stickers? One

      Nobody else does this, guys. It’s fucking weird and pointless

        I think 3 can still be reasonable, if they all have different focuses and don’t connect with each other. An ancient Bernie sticker, a Solidarity Forever sticker, and a Gender Justice sticker all on the same car is pretty reasonable

        Actually, you’re right. Where I live, I can’t remember the last time I saw a bumper sticker for a political party.

      I don’t think it’s a quantity issue, but how much surface area.

      30% of your bumper to brag about how much you love sheep dogs? Alright.

      90% of your bumper? Woah pal.

    I agree with everything said, but I wouldn’t want that plastered all over my truck.

    I do have one small bumper sticker, an anarchy logo, but it’s black on black, so only I really know it’s there, or someone looking closely when the light is just right.

    Am I missing something or is “Why wouldn’t Black Lives Matter?” Kind of a restatement of “All Lives Matter”?

    Seems out of place with the rest of the messaging.

      Oh I get what you’re saying but it took me a minute. Given the target audience (I presume) of the rest of the stickers, this person is likely saying “Why wouldn’t Black Lives Matter?” to the people against it, rather than saying it to the people in the BLM movement. I think the meaning changes depending on who the receiver is.

        I read it as a challenge to society like:

        “Why are we even discussing this of course they do, get your act together society”

      “Black Lives Matter” is frequently misinterpreted (either intentionally or not) to mean black lives matter more than others, thus the reaction “All Lives Matter.” I think this sticker kind of disarms that reaction.

      All lives matter is true, the message got hijacked by the wrong people, but it is still true that no matter your skin color your life matters and you should have the same opportunities and be treated fairly by authorities and so on and the message is inclusive of all communities facing racism, because black people might be treated the worst (along with First Nations if we’re being honest), all non-whites are still victims and even whites of the “wrong” socioeconomic background don’t get treated the same as well off whites.

      Now, the sticker itself is just a way to ask the question to those against the BLM movement… “Please, explain why their lives shouldn’t matter exactly?” You can’t answer that question without being racist
