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

There’s a floating empty chair on the front page of Facebook, LOL.

"The Maxwell’s [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.

I am offended by the people who are offended.

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?

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.

OK, so are all those tire swings people have hanging from trees in their yard controversial and racist, too?

So I guess pulling up to the polls dragging a lawn chair behind your pickup is considered racist?....must think of another approach.

“For weeks the life-size mannequin of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin that hung from a noose around its neck in front of Morrisette’s West Hollywood home caused little controversy.”

Nothing until this went national and still no one in the MSM batted an eyelash about it like they are the stupid chairs.

“It’s really painful for people who have a knowledge or connection to that history: some people have family connections to it and some people have seen the pictures,” said Sirius Bonner, a special advisor on diversity at Clark College.

Right. Knowledge of history or historical pictures can make someone quite histrionic.

BAN HISTORY!!
