It's Halloween time. They're friggen ghosts. Get a grip. Designer? LOL. Some kids who work there part time from the hi skool were probably told to go out to the shed and dig up the Halloween crap and hang it up. Gimme a break.

That refers to white people - so it is OK.

Better not have any decorations of black cats out on Halloween - that could be considered as "racist".

I think having to press #1 for English is pretty damn offensive but I don't think it's going to change anytime soon. If these people are offended by the decorations then don't F'ning look at them. When are people going to have enough of this PC BS and just say tough, deal with it.

If it was my private business I would take them down. Easy to do, I want the money of even the overly sensitive.

No one said that it was meant to be racist, but a figure with a black face has negative connotations when it is hanging from a tree. Understanding that would require empathy and sensitivity and it is clear that those attributes are not strong suits for many on CD.
