Any enemy of the US now knows all they have to do is drop banana peels from bombers to destroy this country....................

Oh noes!

Am apple a day keeps the doctor away
A banana peel in a tree will make snowflakes running screaming for the hills

Gee what will an orange do ???

[Rennes Templar]

We’re going down a slippery slope here...

[Obadiah]

Geez, people going ape over a banana peel. Wow.

[Vermont Lt]

I will admit to not reading the whole article.

Does it say why a banana peel in a tree is so scary? Does it represent something that is not obvious? Have I gotten so old as to not understand something in pop culture?

I am not going to spend a lot of time being confused...but I am now curious.

[bert]

So the banana peel was in a tree.

Why was that racist? Why did the coal flake believe it was a racial symbol?

[lacrew]

I went to a VERY liberal high school in the 1980's. One day, somebody found, not a banana peel, but a giant snake in a tree. A maintenance worker retrieved a shotgun and eliminated the snake.

I shudder to think what would happen today.

Very rapidly, we have transformed to a bunch of hypersensitive losers, looking to get offended or scared...well not all of us, but too many.

So Breitbart is doing very absurd satire now?

[Magnum44]

Alpha Kappa Alpha President Makala McNeil needs serious therapy.

[caligatrux]

So it wasn’t hanging by a string or a noose or anything? It was just a banana peel in a tree?

Is this satire?

[Cold Heart]

I thought this was satire at first. But it does bring back Geraldo Rivera’s remark that the price of bananas would go up in the US if we got rid of the illegal aliens in this country. It’s not a fixation on bananas with the left but a really strong affinity for stupid.

[DoughtyOne]

Am I missing some special significance of a banana in a tree here?

What the heck folks?

Is this supposed to infer some connection to apes, thus the perception of an insult to Blacks?

People are really looking for something to justify “the vapors” these days. Sounds like a senile old woman’s mentality to me.

[trisham]

This is so absurd as to be comical.

[Steve_Seattle]

It was a horrible act of racist symbolism, harkening back to the days when blacks were hung from trees with banana peels. /sarc.

But, seriously, racism is often in the eye of the beholder, and was it PROGRESSIVES who made some sort of mental connection between a banana peel and black people?

When you walk past the banana display at the supermarket, are black people the first thing you think about? Probably not. You're probably thinking about buying a few bananas for the kids' lunch or for a banana cream pie.

[I want the USA back]

Muzzies are laughing at us. To conquer us all they have to do is put one banana peel on a tree at every university, scratch “Trump” in chalk on the sidewalk, and put watermelon skins outside the black students’ guild.

Writing the word “Black” on walls throughout the city will shut the city down.

The country is self-destructing. No help is needed from the muzzies.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Here is the way this really happened, the truth as told by the "perp". He was walking and eating a banana outside. He couldn't find a garbage can nearby so he chucked the peel and it landed in a tree. True story.

What thin skinned lunatic would construe this as anything but a discarded banana peel? I routinely throw apple cores and banana peels into the woods. It's called composting.

[Gen.Blather]

The Left is experiencing multiple fits of hysteria.

[Magnum44]

News follow up... The perp has been arrested and charged with a hate crime...
