I wonder what Perry thinks is a bigger problem for his young son: rebel flag beads or black male - on- black male violence?

I hope Mitch has the NOPD reviewing security footage and parade cams to hopefully charge this TPOS with hate crimes.

The irony is that he probably went out to watch Choctaw and had no problem with everyone painting their faces to look native American.

If it's logical to tear down historical statues, then it's only logical to ban mardi gras. It's such a hateful time.

I thought this thread was about people throwing throwing-stars (ninja stars) when I first read the thread title.


I'd be much more interested if that was the case.

That isnt the stars and bars.

Ironically, if they threw the actual stars and bars nobody would be offended because most dont know what it is and havent been told to be offended by it yet

Throwing plastic beads made in China with little Rebel flags on them is now considered "hate".

Perhaps Mitch should just ban Mardi Gras, or only allow Zulu to parade (in blackface).

Poor Perry.

What's he gonna think when they start tossing 9mm slugs at him?

Andre Perry, a New Orleans education consultant, said he was shocked on Sunday (Jan. 31) afternoon when he noticed that his 5-year-old son had caught a necklace of Mardi Gras beads studded with plastic Confederate flags, thrown from a float in the Krewe of Carrollton parade.


I'm guessing this guy wouldn't have had an issue with gay pride beads being thrown instead.

If it wasn't for those damn statues throwing out hateful throws. Once we take those pesky monuments down then everything in New Orleans will be family friendly again just like it was around the 1400's

Maybe the scavengers could just not pick up these offensive beads and opt for the less offensive fake tits, pot leaf, or penis shaped beads instead.

Cooler than a fricking coconut that looks like a 5 year-old with epilepsy painted it with glitter.



My record for a single Zulu is 8 coconuts (nut bad for a white guy watching it in Iberville). And while some aren't pretty, I have some really badass ones that I've caught that I've kept for a few years now. The confederate beads I laugh at. But I'll toss them in my bag, and end up giving them to a hot white trash chick that had tits I want to see.

You're right. They aren't throwing hate. They are throwing treasonous sedition and encouraging unpatriotic thought.
