Yep, the white courtesy phones. I was about to post on that, but you had it already. Cleveland’s venue has had those sign for years. The GOP moves in and a whole encyclopedia of meaning and history is attached to them.

RED, White and Blue Elevators make sense now. I had thought it was something else.

Trump should hit this in a PC speech. White is not allowed to be a color anymore.

“So let them post a photo of the elevators marked “colored only”.”

If this was real, that would be the stairs.

I hope someone ID’s the perp on security video.

For what it’s worth......

There are seven elevators in the Arena marked Red, Blue, White. Depending upon
your destination in the arena you choose the elevator going to that area.

They are opinionistas and should be labeled as such.

I think you're wrong.

Opinionistas would imply it's their opinion.

Rather, propagandist implies that it's their propaganda. Or prop...AGENDA

BLM member pastes a sign on a bank of elevators.

Takes a picture of the sign, sends it to New York Gaily Screwz.

New York Gaily Screwz reacts with outrage.

Rinse and repeat.

Does the DNC have a cop-killer elevator? This is so stupid. Hell, it was the DNC debates that looked like debate night at the whites-only senior home.
