I think some people are just digging for bullshit now. Its quite possible they weren't even thinking of race and its the material/bag they had. Are you dumb or are you stupid? Pick one.

I can accept that the pics aren't the greatest, but how can anyone shrug this off so quickly? The suggestion of the tweet alone sickens me. I'd like to know more about this before jumping to conclusions about the person who set those things up, but extra info shouldnt be needed for you to feel something here, people Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lego 44,165 Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 The two men are faceless, but their skin appears to be dark. They're each wearing traditionally "hip-hop" clothing: One of the dead men has a sports jersey on and a crooked baseball cap, and the other has his pants sagged low. Black activists have been circulating the photos on Facebook all day and calling for a quick response from the neighborhood. The community's property manager, Orelys Canas, tells New Times they've contacted the homeowner and asked him or her to remove the installation. There's ignorance, like dressing up in blackface for Halloween because you're a dumb white kid with no knowledge of the practice's horrible, racist history (though this is still extremely not OK), and then there's this. Staging a mock-lynching in your front yard tells black people they are neither welcome nor safe in their own communities. Donald Trump and his campaign have repeatedly denied that their dog-whistle politics have enabled white supremacists, racists, or anti-Semites. Trump's supporters — especially the Republican politicians who support him — have found convenient ways to dance around the fact that some portion of Trump's base is, by all indications, motivated by racial hatred. Update #1: After publication, two people called New Times and said the sign and display were in adjoining yards. Neither would give a name. One of them, who said he hung the display, asserted he was just making it "scary for Halloween," and that it's "not racist, nothing political." He declined to say whom he supports for president. The other, who said the Trump/Pence sign was hers, threatened to sue. "It's not true," she said. Asked what was untrue, she said, "the picture, the whole thing." http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/dummies-lynched-next-to-a-trump-sign-for-halloween-in-kendall-updated-8883872 FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lego 44,165 Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Update #2: Two anonymous sources sent New Times additional photographs of the display taken around 6 p.m. this past Sunday. One described himself as a conservative who said the display offended him. Both said they were black. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making it into an actual person crosses the line since the people hung the most in US history, especially in the south, were blacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was up Trump's ass just last week, as late as Friday...so I guess he "changed his mind" 24 hours ago. Lol Then again, remember the last time he lied about changing his support of a candidate?

Bette Davis 12,742 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 If you don't find this offensive, then you need to try putting yourself in shoes of an African American. Imagine that your people were deemed inhuman and hung from trees like trash. It doesn't seem like an innocent festive decoration anymore, does it? Cold as ice cream, but still as sweet.
