It's only racist if a black man is at the end of the rope..
Otherwise, it's people talking smack they can't back up.

Racist intolerant people see racism! I see it as a funny joke, a play on what Clint Eastwood did at RNC convention. So if the chair represents the POTUS and the chair can get stolen or blow away why not hang it in the yard?

As far as I'm concerned this guy our president is a chameleon who could make us all think he is as harmless as a "chair."

and in this instance, the very first post discussed an incident in loveland, CO - NOT austin.



why was she talking about an incident that happened in austin in a thread about colorado?



but nowhere else. since it had nothing to do with the thread she was posting in at the time



good grief, woman - she admitted she had her stories mixed up





i was posting about a different story, in a different thread that had nothing to do with austin. as was mayita.



i do.



yeah, i comprende quite well that you don't have any idea what you're talking about
Lmao. All that effort for what...cause you clearly don't "comprende" my point. Regardless of ALL your jibber jabber, the title of the thread currently refers to the AUSTIN man. GOOD GRIEF, man.
