I have never heard of a black jack o lantern.

These things are probably made in china like all of the other junk.

Honest question because I subscribe to this mentality, does NOT having race on my mind 24/7 make me racist by default because I should be looking for the subtlest, nearly imperceivable, sign of racism such as these jack o lanterns?

If you find this to be offensive or racist, take a look in the mirror. You're racist and what's wrong with America today.

Put a gold stripe down the middle and a Pittsburgh Steelers emblem on one side..........problem solved.

Yes. If you're not part of the solution, you are the problem.

But don't be too much part of the solution, because then you're just white-splaining to people of color.

Unless they're asian, because they're not really people of color, they're white-adjacent, so basically white people.

Dude I lost it reading that. If you can't laugh at that you need to do something different with your life.

For Christ's sake, if you don't include a black one, you're a racist. But if you do include a black one- you're still a racist.

Pumpkins are supposed to be orange. ORANGE.

When you start messing with tradition, this crap happens.

Is a penalty flag one of those things we Bama fans pay the refs to throw on other teams?

Once a year, the Bama grads in the SEC office order a box of them, and then hand them out to the refs, with specific instructions on how the refs are to use them.

So we can have orange pumpkins, blue pumpkins, teal pumpkins, ever other fricking color but black?

These people need to just be told to frick right off. frick them and their stupid feelings


You're 100% right...though, I'm not gonna' lie...even after reading the thread title I laughed pretty hard when I saw the pumpkins. But honestly, had I not been primed to look for it, I would have only seen a black colored pumpkin with a face on it using the only color that would show up well on a black pumpkin.
