The ghosts were racist and had to be removed.

The St. Louis Zoo will remove the black-faced ghosts hanging from trees after complaints that they were racist ghosts.
FOX2 reported:

A photo shot by the St. Louis Zoo to show off their “Boo At The Zoo” Halloween decorations caused a stir among some FOX 2 viewers. The photo was shared on our Facebook page by a viewer who felt the black heads on the ghost bodies hanging from trees evoked the days of slavery in the United States.

We contacted the Zoo and have learned they will be taking the ghosts down and never intended the decorations to be offensive to anyone.

The ghosts reminded locals of the old terrorist wing of the Democratic party.

    Is anyone on this Internet blog under the false assumption that after Obama is kicked out of office everything can just return to the way they were??? If so, then it’s time to wake up and smell the coffee…

    The MAJOR section of racism in this country is surprisingly not the white population, but the black population. EVERYTHING…. and I mean everything that they see is determined via the color or presentation. Soon I expect to hear a complaint concerning ‘white’ clouds as being racist.

    What are we going to do as a nation? I haven’t a clue, but this constant whining by the blacks and the Muslims is totally destructive. They don’t want to work together to build a strong nation were everyone can prosper – or so it seems. Blacks have no problem prospering, as long as they can do better than the white – in some cases a lot better. Muslims just want to be ‘top dog’ over everything – with their pedophile prophets holy books calling the shots.

    We’re in for a few very hard years ahead. Obama was just the start.

    HELP! The stupidity is astounding! They are freakin ‘ghosts’, and have been the ‘acceptable depiction’ of such for forever! UGH, how stupid.

    Thus proving once again that if you’re not being racist idiots will pitch a fit to claim that you’re being racist by picking whatever asinine thing they can find to point at.

    Side note. Racism is the belief that one race is genetically superior to others. How would ghosts with black faces convey a belief in genetic advantages? At most, you could say this was a bigoted display. You’d still be a moron, but at least then you’d be using the English language somewhat correctly.

    Are they sporting the ‘Scream’ face?

    I just cannot believe such a thing so small and silly can be compared to the KKK Terrorist Arm of the Democratic Party that the National Black Republican Association is claiming!?

    Number 2 nails the issues that will prevail after November 6th.
    Local politics is more important than national politics.
    St. Louis is no exception.

    Will black ghosts with white faces be OK? Actually, that sounds kinda cool . . .

    #2 & #6 … I can see the hostility mounting among average people, out when shopping, etc… people are not trusting, not even acknowledging one another, OR to be honest, they (and I have found myself doing this) are going overboard the other way with niceness. This racial crap bothers me a great deal… I have a mixed family. How will my precious little nieces and nephews survive a ‘race war’ when they are a bit of both?!! Hatred is a very dangerous evil that will consume us all, even those of us who chose NOT to partake.

    I would like to know why the made their faces black? That would have been a logical question to ask. It doesn’t seem that reporters ask any logical question anymore. I am sure that the zoo didn’t have a racist motivation but without that question being asked then the speculation will still be there.

    Are they – you know who I’m talking about – ever going to get over it? Those aren’t slaves there is not a hint of racism in that photo. I feel sorry for the zoo folks who thought this up. It wasn’t a bad idea.

    Strange fruit.

    Actually, I can understand the symbolism and why black people might be offended in this case. I don’t think it’s one of those absurd “dog whistle racism” things.

    I’m old enough to remember lynchings, and they were pretty damned scary. It’s no joke trotted out for the benefit of The Undecideds.

    And no, I’m no damned liberal, so drop those pitchforks and back away slowly from your keyboards. Do it now. I’m probably more conservative than most of you – Attila the Hun was a candy ass, as far as I’m concerned. But there’s a line we shouldn’t cross, and one of the differences between conservatives and our creepy friends on the left is that we remember where it is.

    bobdog #16 … I appreciate your point of view, because I am not old enough to remember lynchings. However, thing is, when I see that photo, I simply see ghosts, a halloween creepy prop, a decoration only. I do not read into it any further.

    uhm, to contrast the floating body so that they wouldn’t look like
    white sheets hanging in the trees blowing in the breeze, but like
    real live (gasp) ghosts.. :D

    Protected classes will become the targeted classes, due to thier own ignorance and

    stupidity. Sorry, I’ll out do anyone because I have been trained to out perform

    anyone even when the law is against me (affirmative action).

    You cannot stop excellence, but you can learn and adapt. Something the black community

    refuses to do. I don’t care, they deserve the lot in life they have chosen.

    Me, “can’t touch this”.

    powder is dry and ignorance is plentiful.
