Garner protesters welcome 'symbol of slavery' British royals [pics]

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in New York and attending the NBA basketball game between the Cavaliers and the Nets. Some of the protesters still demonstrating against the non-indictment of police after the death of Eric Garner wanted to let the royals know that they weren’t welcome.

That doesn’t look at all awkward.

Meanwhile outside the Barclays Center…

Why not? You think slavery was a uniquely American thing?

@MickPaddyMack Huh? Bad form to try & latch your personal “Royal-phobia” onto an issue that has real world consequence for POCs. SMH.

Shutting down highways and ruining Christmas celebrations is good form?
