Most of the floats and riders now seem to come from Central and Denham and Prairieville. Baton Rouge royalty!

Seeing those pics, I don't see what the big deal is. Clever imo.
either you have an incredibly low bar to reach or you dont know what the word clever means.

Ok. Eric Garner. The dude who resisted arrest and was out of shape and died while fighting cops for doing something illegal. It's hilarious the spin some people put on that situation to make him look like a perfect little Dindu who never ever dindunuffin.

He wasn't strangled for selling cigarettes. He died because he had high blood pressure, heart disease, was obese, and fighting with police officers who were trying to arrest him for doing something he was previously told was against the law, but continued to do anyway.
His sheet had 30 prior arrests. He was resisting, he knew it and decided to do it anyway. In his mind, cops were just hassling him despite having been locked up & cited for the same offense multiple times.
He died after a 15 second choke hold - 15 fricking seconds. Nobody who isn't on the verge of dropping dead already dies from that.
OP, the flamingo is funny. Only a twat would find it offensive.

If you don't want black people to yell "racism", then quit doing racist shite and playing the obtuse card when you're called on it.
Hard to do when a select group (and not all "black people" think that way, which is kind of racist in itself.) gets offended at every little thing.

Saw a couple of tweets yesterday about two people getting run over by floats in that parade. Any stories on that?

Did he deserve the death penalty for his infraction?

No, but it's hardly the cops fault that he was a heart attack waiting to happen.

Maybe if most would get off their lazy arse and make a difference then that would change.

I didn't go to this parade, but you have to admit that these floats are just not funny. Like zero funny.

There is sadly a high rate of black on black crime.
I hope you realize that white on white crime is equally high.
For those who found this "humor" ok, you'd also be ok if a float depicted the fun in a 6 year old being murdered by 2 cops? Or if the float builders worked super fast and portrayed a woman dead because her goofball husband/cop killed her while cleaning his gun.
Yep, I can hear the chortling now.

Why? And please only respond with factual events that happened to support your claim. Not empty rhetoric.

I dont see white people defending criminal actions.

How is it anyones fault but his own?
Who was overweight?
Who was doing illegal activities?
Who fought with police after doing illegal activities?
Seems pretty cut and dry.
