"I couldn't help but notice your Christmas light display. During these unprecedented times, we have all experienced challenges which casual words just don't describe what we're feeling. The idea of twinkling, colorful lights are a reminder of divisions that continue to run through our society, a reminder of systemic biases against our neighbors who don't celebrate Christmas or who can't afford to put up lights of their own," the letter, shared by Crime Watch Minneapolis, reads. "We must do the work of educating ourselves about the harmful impact an outward facing display like yours can have."

Does this anonymous idiot know he lives in a town named after a Christian saint?

Nope.
The anti-Christian sentiment that stinks up Europe is growing here. Leftist Atheists hate the God whose existence they deny.
Personally, I’d expand my light display and post a copy of the letter on a sign in front of my yard.

Considering the way the world has gone and the state of it today I think Jesus might be rethinking his position. After all even his Pops got fed up with the people in Sodom and Gomorrah.

THAT display?!?!?
That’s minimalist at best!
My son dressed up our house and it looks like Las Vegas!

"St. Anthony is a community welcoming of all people and we must demand better for ourselves." This is what they a-hole who wrote the letter wrote after saying the owner needs to remove the lights because they are offensive.
Basically 'we are super tolerant so we expect you to obey or go'. I've always said, scratch the shiny surface off a leftist and you'll find the fascist underneath.

In other words, Whitey, the left hates you and anything that is remotely connected to Christianity.

The photo on the link shows a minimal Christmas light at best (a string of lights across the front gutter, and a light wreath on the door).
I'd put up tons of lights and nativity scenes proclaiming Jesus Is Lord and has come to us. If the Minnesomolians have a problem with it they can kiss my Christian free American hairy white unsodomized butt and I mean it with all the vigor Jesus Himself used when referring to the PC religion police of His day a "brood of vipers" and sons of the devil.

If I were in that town, I would get a bunch of volunteers in that neighborhood to help get lights up on all the houses this weekend. A group of 20 people could use the homeowners decorations and help them get them up in an afternoon,

Light a candle, and do not keep it under a bushel basket!

Well, we’ll just have to change the Christian name of the town, you know. De-Christianization worked for Robespierre in the French Revolution!

Flag was taken out.
Glad that was not here or we would be hiring a new one, after the funerals.

The idea of twinkling, colorful lights are a reminder of divisions that continue to run through our society, a reminder of systemic biases against our neighbors who don't celebrate Christmas or who can't afford to put up lights of their own," the letter [...] reads.Funny, that idea doesn't remind me of those things at all.

Listening to a muslim call to prayers 5 times every damn day is far more intrusive than some twinkling lights on a private home for 3 weeks in December. The fake display of concern by the butt hurt SJWs should be ignored.
