A float for the Tri-state Parade in Amarillo, Texas apparently caused a stir on social media by featuring two very prominent Democrats in a prison cell.
Some of the participants in this years parade made a float that looks like a jail cell, with a man wearing an Obama mask and a woman dressed up as Hillary Clinton.
As pictures of the float circulated on social media, some residents found it offensive. While this float is simply a case of freedom of expression, of course liberals immediately draw the "race card" and started insinuating that the float the racist/sexist in some way. One resident had this to say when speaking to the local news channel:
"A lot of people in the black and Hispanic community are saying, 'why would you put a black man in a cage?'," said Amarillo resident Rodney Darnes. "The fact that Hillary is in the float only sets the women's movement further back."So one person thinks it's offensive because Obama is black and they put him in a mock "cage", which it's actually more of a fence, and the sole reason they find it wrong is because of the color of his skin. If it was a white politician, say Donald Trump was mocked on a parade float, I'm guessing it would be in no way offensive or socially unacceptable.
Never failing to milk the race card for all it's worth, the resident also considers the fact that Hillary Clinton is portrayed in a jail cell is also "sexist" and somehow sets the women's rights movement back. So a high ranking politician who commits acts of corruption, lied to the public and FBI, compromised national security with her private email server and deleted emails to cover her tracks somehow doesn't belong in prison only because she's a woman?
When liberal fail to make an argument based on logic or facts, they immediately brand anything they find contrary to their opinions as racist/sexist/xenophobiic, etc...
Ironically, as I reported last month, this wasn't the only time Hillary Clinton was featured in prison on a parade float. In early August, a similar float was on display in Iowa.
Although it looks like this local resident's opinion isn't shared by the majority of people, as a reporter put up a Twitter poll to gauge people's reaction to the parade float, and 60% of respondents felt that the float was not offensive.
Thankfully, this type of freedom of expression is still allowed in America, although if Hillary Clinton is elected I'm not sure how long this will last.
America needs to toughen up, there's plenty of anti-Trump propaganda out there, and I've never heard a conservative claim racism or any such foolishness.
LOL!
Hillary “ain’t no wayyys tirared” so maybe it is a slave float.
Obama doesn’t look to upset....
But hanging Sarah Palin in effigy is OK with these same liberals who are bitching about this.
It’s either 1/4 racist or 3/4 racist — make up your minds, protestors.
Seven more weeks folks! We’ve only begun to hear the cries of racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, white supremacy, the KKK, ...
AWESOME!!!!!
Not racist cuz she’s white. Not sexist cuz he’s (more or less) male.
So stuff it, libs!
Off to reeducation camp with them.
Remember the Obama rodeo clown??? They sent all the clowns to sensitivity training.
The Obama rodeo clown was really funny to me, because the shocked urban liberals who were outraged about the Obama rodeo clown never go to rodeos, and don’t know the first thing about them. But they just knew it had to be outrageous to show Obama as a clown.
Maybe the offended snowflakes needed to be at the homosexual pride parade that was just held in Dallas. Maybe that would be more to their liking. Take the kiddoes, whydoncha.
Oh dear, we are in trouble now! Snicker””””””””. ; )
Orange Is The New Black Lives Matter

So now depicting a white liberal socialist hag in prison where she belongs is now racist. Go figgure!!
Hitlery making anti-semitic remarks is okay? Calling Secret Service agents pigs is okay? Demeaning the military and law enforcement is okay? Calling us Deplorables is okay?
Freedom of speech will be the first casualty if Hillary wins.
Mocking behaviors that are criminal, stupid, or criminally stupid is not wassssis.
Those floats are providing a public service to inform AND entertain!

Amarillo is not as conservative as it once was but still manages Republican majorities.
I don’t care what liberals claim. I don’t care what they think, or what they want. They may all go to hell. As for me, I’ve gone to Texas.
