aka, "Dead, Dead, Dead Michael Brown", after "Bad, Bad, Bad LeRoy Brown".

Racism, humor or bad taste, which is it?

Bad taste, similar to those Ray Rice Halloween costumes.

I lean bad taste, too. There's no mention of race in it, but it's kind of fraught so it's a close call.

WOW that is DISGRACEFUL

What happened to Brown was a tragedy and should not have happened. Brown should have never attacked Wilson and if he hadn't he would have received a slap on the wrist for stealing the cigars not bullets from a frightened cop for resisting arrest.

Those folks singing it should be ashamed. Where were they at the KKK Christmas party? Disgraceful.

Elks club in CA. In a nation 300 million, it was bound to happen. The one guy thought it was funny for sure. I like to think I'd have left.

A slap on the wrist for stealing merchandise and assaulting the employee? What world do you live in? Brown would be in jail.

I dont think it's racist... I just think it's incredibly stupid and a really weak attempt at being funny.

The camera was mostly towards the floor... And this video got out. You didn't hear any giggling from the cameraperson... I wonder if they took offense to it, recorded it slyly and sent it out.
