Thank Goodness That Racism is Over
Because … Freedom.
Outside of Kansas City, Missouri.
Highway traffic was diverted early Monday after a dummy wearing an Obama mask was spotted hanging from a noose attached to a Missouri overpass.
The bomb squad was called in, and crews used a robot to remove the dummy and take it to a nearby field where it was tested for explosives. Officers used an X-ray machine to look for a possible IED, but found nothing.
These people are going to be so sad when Hillary is elected President. I guess they’ll have to tie a dummy to a broom using an apron.
Thanks to Larry for the heads up.
I read about this yesterday. I don’t want Hillary for president, but if she’s running, I’ll hold my nose and vote for her. Not that it will matter, I’m in NY, and we always go blue in presidential elections.
1Forgive me, but it is impossible for me not to dispise the haters. Much as we disliked GWB, can’t recall there ever having been this kind of viciousness toward him….lots of ridicule, but never a suggestion of lynching…alas, Klan thinking lives on.
2Whoever did that effigy thing will likely have the FBI breathing down their necks in no time. To think they could get away with this just shows you their level of evolution.
3Yes it’s a post racial America. We have a dummy of the President getting lynched, we have workers at a cotton warehouse told they would be hung if they took a drink from the ‘white’ water fountain:

and, an expletive and racist laced tirade by a woman toward a black man in a parking lot, who turned on the ignition switch of his car:

Yes, it’s great to live in a post racial America, where we no longer need to insure that black people can vote (thanks Supreme Court), or get a quality education in poor school districts.
4I cannot use the words that I wish to express my disdain for the idiot/s who did this. Mama wouldn’t allow 🙁
I am tired of the hate shown to others by people who feel totally free to express their hatred directly now that we have a black/white man in the White House.
I am so proud of our President and his family for staying above all this. I’m sure I would not have their strength.
5Anyone who thinks that this is a postracial nation needs to get a copy of Dog Whistle Politics by Ian Lopez. Electing a black man as President only made things worse in that respect.
6It’s disgusting and disheartening that we are going backward from the Civil Rights Act. Speechless, really.
7That was an IED: Idiots Exhibiting Dumbassery.
8Speechless in Austin.
9Y’know why they don’t do this to Republicans? Because the REAL people are the dummies. Hanging them by a noose from a bridge would be murder. (But not a too bad of an idea come to think of it.)
10I can only imagine that when Barack’s Presidential run is over and done with, he will want little to no political endeavors for the rest of his life!! The ugliness shown to him, Michelle and even the girls will never make it into our so-called History books … He’ll probably be a very short paragraph somewhere and even that will probably be ugly and disrespectful.
I don’t know how he stays above the fray!! It just breaks my heart and practically has me in tears for all the hate and venom he has had to put up with from idiots in this country! It is just so ultimately disgusting!!
11The Klan is alive and well and thinly disguised as KKKristians. Only the self-deluded swallowed that one.
12What’s even more sickening than that some jackwagon would do this is that they probably think there are people who will cheer them on. The worst of it is that I’m sure some do.
Just displaying their own intellectual and moral inadequacy, but too cowardly to put their name to it.
13Yeah, racism is over…the underpass.
14I live here and I am so ashamed, my neighbors are not like this but there are awful people everywhere just pick up a rock and look at what crawls out from under it. Better yet, Google”obama effigy hanged” and look at all the results – some days I despair…
15On the Hillary on the broom thing….please don’t give them twerps any ideas. I pray for our President. May God keep him and his family safe.
16just another way that Kansas City is trying to show that the 2016 Republican Convention will get a warm welcome from like minded people.
17This makes me sick to my stomach. These people are impossible for smart, sensitive people to understand. Swear to god, they should all die alone.
18@biggomamma, I hate to break the news to you, but GWB effigies were a frequent victim of hanging and burning. As were Palin effigies. It’s protected speech, people. https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=hanging%20effigy%20of%20george%20bush
