I think if you want to hang an empty chair from a tree you can but you gotta know that you will get many opinions on it and of coarse you will be called racist I think if it was me I would just set the empty chair on my lawn and just put a name tag on it that says Obama.

I wrote a parody about the lynching of a PB&J sandwich being a hate crime. It’s on my blog, see tagline

"The Maxwells [sic] say they never intended to portray a lynching, but now that they know it appears that way to others, they still have no intention of removing the chair hanging from their tree." Good for them.

Now the same sight in Camas has some people very concerned about a connection to racism, and violence that came with it in the past. Let's take a good look at black on white crime before we start talking about connections.
Sure whites (and blacks) did some things in the past that were PART OF THE TIMES in which they lived, but that was the past.
Blacks have no cause today for their violence and outrage. Not one of them have felt the whip or worked hard picking cotton all day "for the man", yet they claim this as their excuse to bite the hands that feed them?

First, it’s ‘of course,’ not ‘of coarse.’ Secondly, it’s free speech on one’s own property. Do as you will.

Rasist term is getting worn out.
Its being throw around daily for things that aint even close.
The bros are soon to find out no one will give a rats ass when you scream RASIST cause you abused the crap out of the term rendering it meaningless.

It’s not a black or even malato chair.

As I said in an earlier thread.
You should read ‘The Language of the 3rd Reich’. Its about how the nazis used speech to manipulate the German people.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Language-Third-Reich-Imprerii/dp/0826457770
Under the Third Reich, the official language of Nazism came to be used as a political tool. The existing social culture was manipulated and subverted as the German people had their ethical values and their thoughts about politics, history and daily life recast in a new language. This notebook, originally called LTI (Lingua Tertii Imperii) - the abbreviation itself a parody of Nazified language - was written out of Klemperer’s conviction that the language of the Third Reich helped to create its culture. As Klemperer writes: “it isn’t only Nazi actions that have to vanish, but also the Nazi cast of mind, the typical Nazi way of thinking, and its breeding ground: the language of Nazism”.
The left in this country has had an alarming degree of success at doing exactly the same.

Sorry about the grammar. I understand they can do it and our within their rights to do so and I did not mean to sound judgmental.
