A young man with the Twitter handle @AjShehata has stirred massive reactions on social media around race as he shared a photo.
According to @AjShehata, a neighbour took a photo of his house, circled the Black Lives Matter (BLM) sign, printed it and wrote him an 'appealing letter'.
In the anonymous letter, the person said that having such a sign in front of his house is not proper behaviour, asking him to imagine if they all had signs to show their causes in the neighbourhood.

The letter went ahead to say that the horrible cases of black violence are carried out by blacks themselves. After that subtle hateful statement, the person praised the beautiful house.

Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a mother in Russellville, Ark, Deval Brockman, said that her six-year-old daughter, Journei Brockman, was banned from daycare because she put on a shirt with the imprint “Black Lives Matter”.
Journei has been a student of His Kids Preschool for six months before the incident happened.
However, on Friday, June 26, 2020, she was told not to come back to school. Deval said that a school official called her on Thursday, June 29, 2020, that she did agree with the shirt, saying she should not wear such to school again.
