OOH THE HORROR! CALL JESSIE! CALL AL! CALL THE NAACP! CALL THE PRESIDENT ! CALL THE ATTORNEY GENERAL! CALL A LAWYER! THIS KID WILL NEED PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE! CANCEL MARDI GRAS! WE NEED A CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION!

The comments a rich.

Andre Perry, a New Orleans education consultant, said he was shocked on Sunday (Jan. 31) afternoon when his five-year-old son caught a necklace of Mardi Gras beads studded with plastic Confederate flags (Photo courtesy Andre Perry)

its Mardi Gras! everyone is drunk, stoned, drunk and stoned, or tweaking, and you expect a perfect environment for your kid?

Who the heck takes a 5-yr old to Mardi Gras?

his 5-year-old son had caught a necklace of Mardi Gras beads studded with plastic Confederate flags, thrown from a float in the Krewe of Carrollton parade.

Did he lift up his shirt?

Good grief.
The Civil War was over 150+ YEARS ago.

Who cares anymore?

“...did his best to help his son understand the implications of the symbol...”

Something tells me he may not fully understand the implications of the symbol himself...especially to New Orleans.

The irony is that this dope would be proud for his son to get coconuts from the black-face painted zulus. Still, he doesn’t seem to get the idea that Mardi Gras has always been politicially incorrect, and that much of the fun of carnival being able to laugh at ourselves.

I call fake, look at those, they look old, really old - my bet is the guy had them and brought them with him.
