I just hated the banned because it was large and took away even more vertical space on my already limited screen. At some point about a full quarter of the screen was these fixed banners(!!) I userCSS'd it out, but they kept changing the HTML/CSS all the time so it kept breaking.
I also don't especially like BLM as an organisation or movement because I think they're ineffective at best and contra-productive at worst, but that's okay: I don't mind seeing messages I disagree with, including on programming sites – everyone is free to use their site to promote whatever message they wish. But it's unfortunate that any conversation on this topic tend to very devolve to "against BLM = against Black people = literally Hitler!!11" or even "against banner that makes the actual page to use = against Black people = literally Hitler!!11" Well, no: I criticise BLM because I broadly agree with their goals, and am frustrated with them they are, in my opinion, not doing the right things to address them.
It's that part that I find the most annoying: it's one thing if you put up a banner and we can have a conversation about whether this is the best way to address this, whether we should address it at all, and things like that. But if that's not possible things get pretty frustrating pretty fast.
