I don't understand what it is about Halloween that's racist. It's actually a Celtic holiday which was originally called, "Beltaine." It's significance was to commemorate the dead and observe the Celtic New Year. Then during the 7th century, Pope Gregory moved All Saint's Day from May 13 to November 1st and renamed it "All Hallow's Eve." It was an attempt to convert all the pagans into Saints. It's bad enough that organized religion does a fine job stigmatizing it, but the NAACP is crossing the line. Nonetheless, that doesn't surprise me one bit. Pulling out the race card is something quite common in the black community now. If the wind blows the wrong way or Africa isn't mentioned in a history book, then everything has to become a racial issue. The NAACP has done nothing but fuel this sense of entitlement black people have in my humble opinion.
I don't know. It doesn't really look like a black person to me. But some of the features suggest it may be. You know a ghost can be interpreted to look like a Klansman too.
The NAACP and the leftist live to be offended! They make money being offended. They control us being offended. Please someone, legalize all drugs so they can be too stoned to get up off their sorry a**es.
On another thought, the hanging man is awful scary for little kids but it is not racist..
Did anyone get arrested for hanging her in effigy? How about other politicians? Oh wait.
