POLICE CALLED ON FAMILY To Take Down ‘Racially Offensive’ Black Trash Bags Used For Halloween Decorations

A homeowner in Hanford, California took down her Halloween decorations after Hanford Police told her they were “racially offensive.” Leave it to the social justice warriors to freak out over a black trash bag…Really? We’d love to know what you think about the decoration. We think it’s creepy but not racist.


BLACK TRASH BAGS ARE “RACIALLY OFFENSIVE”?

The black body bags hanging from the home caused many to question whether or not the Halloween decorations took things too far.

Hanford Police told the homeowner that several people had complained to the NAACP about the trash bags she used to hold the “dead bodies” in.

ENTER THE SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR TO EXPLAIN…

Fresno State Associate Professor and Program Coordinator of Africana Studies, Dr. De Anna Reese explained how easily some could have misinterpreted it.

“Anytime you have something black particularly simulating a body hanging from a tree is completely synonymous with lynching,” said Reese.

CREEPY BUT NOT RACIST!

The homeowner stuffed the bags and hung them up on a tree by the feet Sunday. The homeowner decided to take down the decorations after her conversation with officers. Despite being in the Halloween spirit Dr. Reese explained how some people could’ve viewed the decorations as inappropriate regardless the color of the plastic bags.

“In this case they were black bags. I think even if they would have been clear bags. Anytime I see a rope around a branch of a tree it only leads me to think about one thing. We have to be clear that who are the bodies historically hung from trees. It is not to say that other ethnic groups were never lynched because they were. But the great majority were people of African descent,” said Dr. Reese.

LEAVE TO THE PC CROWD TO RUIN HALLOWEEN

The homeowner told Fox 26 that it wasn’t intended to mean what some thought.
