A Noose In October - Halloween or Racist Hate?

click me for source

Quote:
Members of the NAACP demonstrated Friday against a Halloween display in the 1400 block of Hogansville Road across.

A gallows with three dummies hanging from nooses appears in the front yard of Tommy and Deborah McCann. The protesters said it harkens to an era when blacks were sometimes the target of lynchings.
What do you think about this? Is equivalent to the confederate flag, or swastika, or burning cross?

Is this PC-ism gone wild?

Is it just Halloween decoration?

oh for crying the **** out loud. They need to get a life and stop going out and looking for **** to be upset about. Are they really that bored? So what if it does "harken to an era when blacks were sometimes the target of lynchings"? GET OVER IT. (that's directed at the PC idiots)

These ****ing ******* piece of **** PC *******s are going to keep on and keep on until we're not 'allowed' to have any ******* free expression what-so-****ing-ever.

And y'all probably won't be able to read the above paragraph since it's littered with profanity. C'est la vie.

Well, this kind of crap really pisses me off. It seriously makes me want to put nooses in all the trees around my apartment, cover the outside of my apartment and windows with Confederate flags, and burn crosses in my yard right alongside a big ole wooden stake with a dummy "witch" on it. AND THEN... to add insult to injury, I'll paint swastikas in the grass in goat's blood and dance around a campfire in makeshift native american costume while chanting kumbaya at a drawing of Mohammed.

I'm thinking the nooses are foreshadowing harkening to a time when we actively hunt these PC Nazis down and string them up in trees.

I am so friggin over this mock outrage over racism that doesn't even ****ing exist half the time. I swear, the next person to even begin making a huge race issue should be publicly executed three times!!!

They are the unclean couterpart to sheep and supposedly one of the avatars of Satan. I think that last idea rose out of the 9th century when the Christian adopted a pagan deity as a form of the devil in an attempt to get the pagans to convert.

Re: A Noose In October - Halloween or Racist Hate?

Seeing how the owner of the offending objects made it clear:


Quote:
The dummies aren’t black, she said - one is white, another is a space alien and the other is “some kind of monster.”
I would say I am offended most of all by the space alien. I mean I can see what the monster and the white person probably did that deserve to be hung for but all aliens ever do is a probe here and there, and I can bet most people like that. Protest against her and her obvious hate of space aliens who only try and live their extraterrestrial life in peace!

I am a liberal and I believe in equality.

A hangman's noose have been part of our culture and part of european culture for centuries. Witches were indeed hung. Magical Halloween stuff has been a part of our British based culture for years.

maybe some folks are too sensitive. and offended to easily where there is no intent offend. Maybe some folks just like to be on TV.

If the hanging dummies portrays blacks, then Blacks could be offended. If the hanging portrays white folks, and space aliens, why should blacks be offended??
