Can anyone tell me why

Painting BLM isn't considered vandalism, but it's considered a hate crime for someone to paint over it? I honestly don't understand this. To me it's considered a hate crime to have BLM on a street I have to see everyday. And vandalizing statues seam to be overlooked.

Depends whether or not you dislike black people and [b]don’t[/b] think their lives matter. Generally one has to get a permit to paint any type of slogan or mural on any property that isn’t theirs, or consent from city or state leaders. The type of person who would just paint over BLM (assuming it’s not on their property) would be a white supremacist, trying to make a point.
