Controversy surrounds float in NC Fourth of July parade
HOPE MILLS, N.C. — Officials in a North Carolina town said they’ve received several complaints from people offended by a controversial Fourth of July parade float.
WTVD reported that the incident happened Thursday at the community’s annual July 4th parade in Hope Mills. A picture snapped by a parade-goer shows a man on a tractor flying a confederate flag and pulling a wagon loaded with watermelons. A sign on the trailer read: “White History Month. Hug WTE PPL.” Town officials told WTVD that farmer Donnie Spell applied for and received a parade permit. However, officials said Spell told them he would be pulling an antique tractor with a sign that read: “Watermelons for sale” at a nearby bank parking lot. When WTVD went to Spell’s home, his gate was locked. A neighbor said he didn’t think the man was trying to be vicious or funny. But people that saw the float thought otherwise. “This should be over, all that stuff should be over. I don’t understand why people are still living like this,” said Hope Mills resident Suzanne Singletary. Town officials said they are considering making changes to the registration process so this does not happen again. http://myfox8.com/2013/07/06/controv...f-july-parade/ |

Intentionally Trying to offend people is not cool.
Funny. But wrong.[/QUOTE] You're reading too much into nothing. Don't. And lighten up. My next door neighbor is black and goes to Lynyrd Skynyrd concerts with me. He ain't offended by shit. |

My girlfriend buys Tamales from the Mexicans at work during the holidays when they make batches of them. They are so damn good!
