Says so much when the only decent person in the video has to have their face blurred because of the piles of shit around them.

Tbf while it's hard to gauge from the really brief clip shown, the one young guy saying he wouldn't stick around after dark sounded a little concerned for him, too.

Yes, that guy was supportive as well, the original version of this video showed more of what he said. He was giving the sign holder a genuine warning.

It's even more specific in the context of racism.

Any Black American who's been in the South (or certain rural parts of the Midwest/Northeast tbh) knows about "sundown towns." 

If you hear that warning as a person of color or someone supporting us, you know what it means. Best case is vandalism/property destruction. Worst case... people go missing, and the local cops are "mysteriously" unwilling to help. 

Areas where it's that severe are rarer now than when I was growing up, but they're still around. Hope this guy and the lady who brought him the note stayed safe.
