I think it says more about the police chief that he would identify Popeye's, junk food, beer, and cigarettes with black people.

Thinking that's racist is actually racist. You are assuming only one race eats junk food and chicken.
I'm going to Popeyes for lunch. Guess I'm racist.

Maybe they should poll the five black people that live in MN and ask them how they feel.

How the frick is that racist?
Bc a racist that only sees color saw it and immediately took it in a negative light.
My only hope it that it was hung by a black cop. Heads would explode.

I’ve been black this whole time and didn’t know it.

Those are very stereotypical poor black people foods.
If it was KFC, Bud Light, Marlboro, and Lay's Potato Chips, nobody would have said anything.
But it's specifically black stereotyped brands. I mean, do we think the people who decorated that tree just randomly chose those brands? Or maaaaaaaybe they chose those brands for a specific reason.

KFC would still be an issue (as would any FC).
Natty Light was my go to beer in college. Maybe the brand stereotypes are different in Minnesota.

Well while I think smoking is fricking nasty, I would say the specific reason those were chosen is bc they’re delicious.
Popeyes is easily the best fast food fried chicken.
And hot Cheetos are the shite when being chased with a beer.

It sounds to me like he just hung up whatever was in the station trashcan. I have no idea how anyone could interpret this as racist. This is some grade A level dumbassery.

Well, I just don’t agree at all...especially about the KFC and Lay’s. I think 95% of people are not this sensitive.
Any random object could offend people who try hard enough to be offended.
ETA What ethnicity that would rather KFC over Popeyes if given the choice? Preferring Popeye’s is part of being human.

Liberals are the worst on judging others and trying to force their beliefs.

I was expecting to see ornaments being hung up with nooses or something.

It is racist to think that is racist.

Y'all know exactly why the frick it's racist. There's no other possible explanation for those decorations. fricking douchebags.

"I believe that these decorations were an attack on the black community and I think the 4th Precinct has been allowed to attack the black community," she said.
You can’t make this shite up. Someone puts literal trash on a tree, and the NAACP goes out of their way to say the trash is about them.

Well why don’t you enlighten us as to why/how they’re racist?

You do realize that it was probably just the trash from nearest trash can? I highly doubt someone went out of their way to select “black trash.”
