This is a normal post True, but you clearly know fuck all about the place, its history or how its residents feel.
And I imagine that demographic captures the wider area of 'Cardiff Bay', rather than the specific area around Bute Street that people deride as "you can't walk down the street there if you're white" (which is bullshit).

People in Butetown, black and white, seem to like the mural. They're not feeling 'dictated to', except when something they like is replaced by a fucking advert.

But you have taken it upon yourself to have a meltdown on their behalf because someone painted a picture of a black woman.

Hopefully if I tell you they recently built a statue of a black female headteacher from there, you'll have a heart attack.

This is a normal post Given your love of aristocratic land owners perhaps you'd be more interested in Bute himself

This is a normal post great
you don't care about the context the mural was in, the city, club, or local sentiment.

That's fine. But maybe don't wade in with some anti-"woke agenda" culture war bollocks where it doesn't exist. There are plenty of genuinely better targets for that.
