Conflicting Signs?

Why are these signs in opposition?

Last week, at the sit-in at my church, a group of young men drove by on motorcycles and then quickly came back to wave Trump flags at us. For some, why is being pro-Trump equal to being against black lives mattering?

Last night, an older gentleman, very recognizable around our town for his long white ponytail, came back in his car to shame us for not saying "all lives matter". Then he asked why we weren’t standing up for the Native Americans. I explained that we absolutely support justice and equity for Native Americans and had recently volunteered on a reservation in South Dakota. He told us he’s going to bring back a sign about the Sioux tribe for us to hold up next week. Curious, I asked him if he was a Native American or part of that tribe. Of course, he said "no".

People are so viscerally resistant to supporting black lives that it drives them to bring up every other issue possible as an avoidance tactic. This includes the most recent "save the children" tactic (the most popular meme being a white baby wrapped in a flag). Of course, I wholly endorse saving the children, particularly when we’re talking about those ripped from their parents and locked in cages at the border.

(Note: I do not support the removal of political signs for either party! This seems to be a property line dispute between my neighbors. The Trump sign was put up after the "End Racism" sign and there has been a battle of placement ever since.)
