This is not a simple political issue, it is a personal human issue. It is a social issue. It is a justice issue. It seems quite obvious to me that this is different than if they had put a fundraiser for a candidate for office, for instance, in a banner.
It amazes me how often people come out of the wood work to criticize the politicization of things as soon as anyone posts a black lives matter banner, but would be perfectly happy with banners for another cause. Of course, I don't know if that's you or not, so I'll leave you with some questions: If you have a problem with this, consider whether you'd have the same problem with a banner for a cancer research foundation during the U.S.'s cancer awareness month, for example. If the answer is no, consider why that might be and work on it. If the answer is yes consider why a banner that doesn't hurt you but could help a lot of people bothers you so much. This *is* related to Go, because it's a community issue and Go is a community as much as it's a language. Communities of privilege staying silent on these matters and leaving it up to others, often to communities that have expended many generations worth of emotional capital on this already and who often are dismissed by the very people who need to hear their message, is part of the problem. We don't want to be part of the problem, so let's do our part, however small, with the platforms we have. —Sam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
