    Be Careful of Your Halloween Decorations!

    Your Halloween decorations are now under attack by a certain minority who claims they are "another form of blackface", and "show a extreme lack of sensitivity".

    All this over some black plastic jack-o-lanterns. What's next? Black cats? Black witches?

    Really?

    Good Lord Ben, You have just posted a LYNCHING. After all the news lately you will now have to do penance and will most likely be required to reimburse someone for something. ........I hope that post was worth it.

    And now, McDonald's is insensitive, too!

    “It looked like a typical Halloween decoration. It said ‘Happy Halloween.’ It had some spiderwebs and some spiders and, like, a haunted tree and I was like: ‘Oh, that’s cute,’” he told WCVB.

    “Then, you look closer and that’s not cute. That’s not right.”

    Pocock was referencing the decal which appeared to show a person hanging from a tree. He said it looked “more like a lynching.”

    There sure are a lot of people out there that know what a lynching looks like. When was the last time you remember seeing a picture? Probably high school for me.

    I've seen more than my share in real life and they don't look like Halloween decorations.

    It just hit me that suicides are not "lynchings" the end result is the same but I haven't seen any lynchings.
