Pretty tasteless but it should worry everyone in this country that a sitting Mayor says it’s a crime and not “free speech.”

Newsflash, our new mayor is still a moron. This "story" needed no comment from her or Morrell like it was some national emergency. It's just a few dolls hanging from a bead or attached to a bead. Not a noose. Nothing purposely inflammatory. And as noted, he had white dolls hanging from the beads as well. Pearl-clutching Gras.

FBI will be brought in to investigate like they did for the Bubba Watson NASCAR fake “noose” that turned out to be a garage door opener.

This admin. is been hellbent on harassing Mardi Gras Krewes. First, Carrollton then Freret and now Tucks. I guess Thoth will be next.

Not saying it was a good idea of course,


Why put this disclaimer in at all? This is the dumbest story I've seen in a long time.

Mardi Gras riders have ALWAYS tied stuffed animals and other shite with beads so they can give them to people. This shite isn't new, at all.

This dude did this to be INCLUSIVE, to give to both white and black little girls on the route.

So sick of the idiots today in society.

That must be an old picture because she doesn’t look like that anymore.

"New Orleans is built on respect, diversity, and inclusion."

"Actions that seek to demean or intimidate any member of our community violate the very spirit of who we are. Our celebrations, particularly those where our children and families attend, should be spaces of joy and unity, not exposure to hateful or harmful imagery."

New Orleans police arrest nine, searching for six others after violent fight during parade


Given the other picture, if the responsible party turns out to just hate women and is sexist/misogynistic instead of racist, is it not as bad, just as bad, or worse?

Idc if it a voodoo doll of Samuel L Jackson. Fact will always remain that if it’s a black doll it’s a hate crime. If it’s white, freedom of speech.

Don't worry. Heard Spanish Town parade was racist cause they were throwing bananas. Racism everywhere.

Makes me want to definitely stay to watch Tucks again next year.

Tucks embraces the toilet and bad taste. It's what they do.

They don't take themselves seriously and neither should anyone else. In grand Tucks tradition the will probably find this guy and nominate him to be the next King of the parade next year.

They are not an organization with "proper" people. You cannot be sensitive and ride in Tucks. You probably should not embrace sobriety either.

At most a quick- “checking with the Krewe for updates” and not a “this hate….”

I’ll say, my opinion has evolved from let’s see at the start to not looking good when it was multiple being waved around downtown to probably just poor taste seeing dolls of all race strung up
