It occurs to me that we should avoid getting sucked into the vacuum of political correctness.

When you’re a kid, the pinata you’re hitting doesn’t represent anything other than an inanimate object which happens to be a bag full of candy.

The problem is that the pinata reinforces the racist vitriol and gangsta rap culture that these kids are surrounded with.

When you were a kid, hitting a pinata shaped like for example a donkey was not accompanied by donkey hate in spewed by politicians, ministers, teachers, entertainers, the media, your parents, etc. On the contrary you were likely taught to be kind to animals.

No offense but you haven't spent any time around inner-city kids, have you?

So you're okay with black kids being encouraged to beat the heck out of an image of a white woman? Wow.

The kids are’nt the one who organized the event or set the agenda for fun and games or who bought the pinata, it was most likely an adult and either an employee of UM or the school the children attend and I would bet a dollar to a donut they knew exactly what they were doing.(My wife just got back from the donut store and that would be ten dollars to a donut, as a kid I bought donuts 3 for a dime.)

Shouldn’t we hold our enemy (by their declaration) to their own standards?

We should react EXACTLY the same way Sharpton/Jackson/etc... would react if it had been white kids and a black pinata.

When you are a child, you are very easily influenced. Parents and teachers know this. At what point is this a mistake? If a mistake, the judgment of the teachers is is serious question. Their answer to the call on their judgment is indicative.

A Hula Pinata.

So, silly me, I looked up Hula Pinatas and there is actually such a thing! Saw over a dozen models of them, but strangely enough, they all had on green grass skirts.

Perhaps in fairness to the poor Irish they tore the skirt off of the white woman before they hung her up for the black boys to beat on?
