Barbershop that says "Black labs matter" and suggests supporting the MSPCA is getting a strong reaction in Norton, Massachusetts. But barber Tom Stevens says humor is his way of life.

"It's just a sign, it's a way to have fun, it's a way to reach out, it's a way to tell people I'm here," he said.

But some residents said the sign outside his barbershop is far from funny.

The crazier people are, the less sense of humor they have.

Funny. But the negative reaction reminds me of how sacred Blacks and affirmative action are in the PC pantheon.

Assachusetts, eh? My doctor told me once that he thought 'people in New England are wound a little too tight'.

No kidding.

Black labs bring happiness to others. Black lives matter protesters remove happiness from others.

And they wonder why we say their lives don’t matter. Empathy is a two way street, stupid moonbats. Dogs can understand this, why can’t you?

I saw a #blacklivesmatter bumpersticker on a car.

To have a racist organization on your car is not a good thing.
Would anyone buy a sticker that says,”Grand Dragon of the KKK”?

The looney left has no sense of humor and will do ebrything in their power to make sure you don't either.
The left needs to be eradicated and the sooner the better.

My ancestors got the hell out of New England, mostly heading West.

However some headed up to Canada, only to reappear in the American Mid West decades later.

Etc.

The one on the right is a black lab as well. It just happens to belong to Rachel Dolezal

Not one "outraged" person is actually named in the story. Guess nobody wants to own up to this lunacy.

How in the hell can that sign offend anyone?

And even if it does,tough !

When did being “offended” become as serious as crime?

Humor is not allowed in the PCPRM (Politically Correct People's Republic of Massachusetts).

And they are entitled to their opinions.

And they should express their opinions.

And then they should STFU about it and get on with their lives...
