I think there is far too much “outrage” over nothing these days.

That said, I find it hard to believe that someone would “decorate” their porch with work they are doing in that way and never wonder if anyone would think it odd. Either clueless, or else trying to be offensive.

One would think that there would be someplace a little more private where these could have been hung up to dry. If nothing else, they became inviting targets for the local "utes" to take batting practice.

But that's just me.

There are those who go through each day trying to find something/someone to be offended by.

The trouble is, they usually succeed.

I don’t know why I find this so funny.

The pinata maker had no ill intent, but through quirky unintended circumstances, he found himself in the midst of today’s sparked outrage.

This will no doubt last until the next outrage hits the news. Oh well, I still think it is funny.

What kind of wedding party orders black-people pinatas, hanging from ropes, to be symbolically smashed with bats until they break apart?

Another point that apparently they missed: black personage as a piñata.

What happens to piñatas?

Meanwhile in other non reported news...artist places a spike through a mock up of PDJT’s head. Response...crickets. Also, earlier this year Kathy What’s her name holds a mock-up of a bleeding PDJT head, by his hair. Response...crickets.

The outrage would be 200 times as much, if the guy were an ordinary Whitey.

Minneapolis is all about outrage.

Aside: Is Minnecraponus giving Madistan a run for the title of Upper Midwest Loony Bin?
