Trash in the steet was an appropriate memorial for Michael Brown. But the same trash on a Christmas Tree is racist?
Putting some of the above mentioned stuff on it sounds a bit dumb, but I don't see how it can be claimed it's racist.
Only a racist would think that was racist.
For someone to see that as racist requires that person to already hold ugly stereotypes in their mind.
Which makes them racist. Not the tree.
The takis would have been on there for about 28 seconds if I was around. They may be racist, but they’re a yummy kind of racist.
Are we taking bets on whoever did this being a “person of color that is not white”?
Did anybody mention a “white Christmas,” too?
The Ramones did radio ads endorsing Steel Reserve beer.
Many black people listened to the Ramones?
Takis makes snacks. Are their chili and lime chips targeted specifically to black consumers?
The cops themselves probably eat them
What, no Skittles?
Yeah, it was racist.
But just not that big of a deal. Certainly not in comparison to the racism these officers suffer regularly.
Stereotypes? Turnabout isn’t fair play anymore? The Metro areas of Minniesoda are in sad shape. Look at what they send to CONgre$$ to represent them.
“Racist” = “Actual documentation for the cr*p cops have to deal with”.
And, since the vast vast VAST majority of this cr*p comes from...you-know-where, this is automatically racist.
Did the tree decorations imply that those arrested were genetically inferior?
If not not, then how are the decorations racist?
Racist? No. Very dumb, and very counter-productive? Oh, yes.
If I saw a police display that made crude fun of my heritage, I wouldn’t get upset. I’m a big boy. But I’d like those cops just a little bit less. And I’d be willing to help them just a little bit less. That’s not a good thing.
So I’m not seeing a firing offense with that tree. But the cops involved need a couple of weeks of unpaid vacation to get their minds right.
Dave Chappelle said he went into a Southern restaurant that served burgers and fried chicken. The guy behind the counter asked if he wanted fried chicken. Chappelle asked “Why do you assume I want chicken?”
The guy answered “I’m sorry. I just assumed that’s what you want. What can I get for you?”
Chappelle said “Fried chicken”.
UPDATE:
Minnesota police commander demoted after furor over racist Christmas tree

why would someone believe that police tape, certain foods and drinks are emblematic of the black community. Sounds like we have a racial problem right there. These people are really sick.
What? No Clinton Xmas Condoms?
Identifying and honoring items used in the ghetto is racist?
