Secondly, the Black Sheriff of Milwaukee not only agrees with the Supervisor's tshirt but arrested 74 protestors whom you say were marching for race related reasons. So, if the tshirt is unspeakably racist, wouldn't a Clarke denounce it? Oddly, he's said more provocative things about the demonstrations than any other official or shirt. Who's not paying attention?

If you'd been to a single one of the Hamilton marches, meetings or vigils, you'd realize that the tension and indeed the struggle is not confined to African Americans.
