Really dont’ see how its “racially insensitive”, though its a bit edgy for halloween. Im sure the people didn’t mean anything by it though.
To: markomalley
In other news, EVERYTHING offensive to black people. The cure is for whitey to off themselves/ dripping sarcasm.

No, the cure is for us to ask ourselves, “Why is it important that we not offend these people? Why should we care?”

But the Sarah Palin hanging in effigy a few years ago at Halloween, that one was ok. What’s the difference?????
To: Molon Labbie
‘Ghosts’ are generally depicted as white translucent figures. Is that racist? This is getting more than ridiculous.
To: markomalley
The decorations do have a certain "Fail" vibe to them, but geez. Would there have been any complaint if the bags were white?
Where's the Jackie Gleason pic that's been appearing around here lately?

I agree. However by defining the most innocuous things as “racially inoffensive” and then getting to prohibit them is a clever way towards total control. Mao’s red guard would applaud.

Anytime I see a rope around a branch of a tree it only leads me to think about one thing.
Me too. It reminds me that my HOA requests that trees be trimmed and low hanging branches be removed. I typically use a rope, vehicle, and saw for the large ones.
When did police start investigating insensitivities along with crimes?

That is indeed becoming the case. Hold the door for an older black lady, and you’re being condescending (that what a relative of mine was called). Don’t hold the door, and you’re being rude, and racist.
That’s sad. No, it’s tragic. So much of this is due to Obama. And the media keeps on feeding the fire. I really don’t see a way out.

Body bag manufacturers seem to prefer the absence of reflected light for their body bags. Why I don’t know but blame them. Also blame Glad and other trash bag manufacturers for using black as their plastic color. I’m so triggered by all this ‘insensitivity’ nonsense I need to go find a safe space.

I see a way out. Separation, a national divorce. They live in X states, and the rest of us live in what’s left, never to mingle. Peace at last, as it has been said.
We cannot live together, period. It has been shown for at least half a century. No amount of reparations, set asides, affirmative action will satisfy them.
They want revenge and it will be nothing short of annihilation or enslavement against their oppressors.

"Anytime I see a rope around a branch of a tree it only leads me to think about one thing" Same here. I really miss that old tire swing my grandma had at the old house. Brings back some good memories.
