It was just last month a similar thing happened in Texas.

Some people will never learn, just don't do such displays. Why is that so hard to understand?

A Halloween display in the front yard of a Homewood home has sparked outrage, but the family says there was no harm meant and they didn't realize the message it portrayed.

The family claims there was no malice intended. Yeah, sure. If that were true, and they realized people did see it as malicious, they would take it down. They are refusing to.

And one look at the face on that figure tells you they know exactly what they're doing.

But it's the deep South. Who is really surprised?

It's a free country, there's nothing wrong with such displays, and you need to mind your own business.

Oh, please.

Something that incredibly offensive to so many and there's "nothing wrong" with it?

Just outlaw all dark colors and be done with it. People are going around looking for these things just to make headlines, nothing more to it than that.

This is a classic example of not reading the linked article before commenting. They took it down completely.

What are they supposed to learn? Not putting up Halloween decorations? More reason why PC culture needs to go.

All sorts of folks were lynched back in the "good old days" for things like cattle-rustling and
claim-jumping.

How is a halloween-decoration targeting anyone?
