I think they misreported that - the show wanted to remove the sign, but the store did not allow it: “...the last time the show filmed in our space, the production crew asked to us to remove the Black Lives Matter sign on our window. We refused.”

Dammit, last hope shattered :( How horrendous.

You absolutely did the right thing.

“As an artist...” - Oh god, shut up you obnoxious fucking idiot.

Are you sure it wasn’t just the daughter filming herself? Girls and women do do these things too :/
