Residents of a black neighborhood are upset over Halloween Hayloft billboards being placed in their neighborhood, saying its a racist attack. Some say the 70 signs in the area are actually advertising a re-enactment of a double hanging that took place in Pennsylvania's Somerset County about 120 years agohttp://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2011/10/14/halloween-billboard-stirs-controversy-on-north-side/

Yea, people are stupid. Most white people don't associate "hanging" or "nooses" with blacks. I don't. Its definitely a southern thing. At least, thats where people hang nooses and shit.

But imagine if you were black: wouldn't you be sensitive to hangings? Have some mercy, people.

Assuming everyone and everything is addressing you? Madness is rare in individuals - but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule.

Wish people started living for today, thinking about the future...and not living in the past, fighting the wars that ended a loooong time ago... what a kick ass place this would be, but this way, it's just butthurt everywhere...
