what reason would you choose the decoration of cotton stalks for SPECIFICALLY black guests, mind you the night before they had hispanic guests and no cotton stalks...

So if cotton stalks had been in and were just used in general as the centerpiece, the argument might hold water.

but they had different guests each night, and different centerpieces accordingly.

people like to pretend that noone should find offense in anything, but thats not reality or else everyone would do nothing but commend each other all the time.

Maybe it is the style these days? Why assume it was racial? Plus it was at his house. If someone doesn't like my house, they can leave.

They can be offended all they want but others can have an opinion on it too. He shouldn't have to apologize. It ia the new fad with decorating. So they can be offended but others can't have a say?

If it was, say, at a graduation ceremony...I would still think it's stupid (I have a right to my opinion btw) but I can see complaining. This was his house. And YES this was the new fad before they got offended

except it wasnt a FAD if it was only for the ONE night where he happened to have african american guests ,,,

Here, lets keep the hatred going.
Hate Hate Hate!!!
Good job humans!

He even said he didn't know IN HIS OWN HOUSE! And YEA that has been a fad for a bit now. Blacks weren't the only ones! My ancestors did too. If I did that in my own house and even horoned them or did it for a fad....so what? It was his house!

Not everything in life is racist or needs play doh. Why wasn't it an issue with Obama? I saw cot5on at Hobby Lobby while he was president.

These idiots need to realize that when they need put their big kid pants on, you have to do it

I certainly hope you do not think that one needs to feel 'hate' to be offended or have a distasteful opinion of anothers choices...

what are you talking about? This is not about Obama nor has it anything to do with who is president.

People were invited to dinner, they didn't approve of the decor. PERIOD.

Not everything in life is racist, but many things in life are racist .
Nothing needs pay doh.

I feel offense at a stores choice is a different matter than offense at a caterers choice for an event with a specific demographic.

people can have 'big pants on' and still complain or disagree...

They were invited to a HOME! Then whined on social media. What are YOU talking about?

If someone doesn't like a home, store whatever....leave. Not hard.

As far as Obama...let me draw a picture. Statutes are now coming down, offense over cotton, play doh and blah blah blah that sprung up (coincidence?) after Obama. Why not during? In other words, I don't buy what they are selling. It is boo hooing over nothing. Oh and Btw...THAT IS MY OPINION! You don't want opinions on what these people said, don't give yours

I have no problem with opinions. We all have them. I just find it funny how some opinions are 'whining' while others are merely 'opinions.

They did not WHINE, they shared their opinion. Are people here WHINING about that?


They did not say they did not like the home, they only said the centerpiece offended them. Not everyone lives in some all or nothing world.

and could it be that offenses have been there but some people never noticed them UNTIL now and find it easier to scapegoat the past president than the present one?

Certainly not in a sane world but we are not dealing with a sane world are we?

thats a true post ...lol

Again...YOUR opinion. We are all entitled to one. The centerpiece was IN HIS HOME.
Since ot was HIS HOME...he can decorate (or have decorated) what he likes. Where was this intentionally racial instead of brats whining over something they didn't like? Opinions...see how it works?

Not sure what you don't get. If I am offened by something in someone's HOME, it would be a waste to comment. I either don't really care and stay or I leave. They put it on social media making it an issue and people reply....HELLO. But I know it has been a fad for a bit.

Wtf are you even arguing about? God forbid someone has a different opinion? Oh well.

Seems those offended are the ones looking for a scapegoat

No argument.

Its quite simple. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even black dinner guests.

And they were entitled to their opinion.

whats good for the goose and all ..

And THEY posted on social media about it. People replied. His home, his decorations (yes it IS the current fad...just like wheat stalks) Case closed. No more argument I agree it should be simple as that

Btw...they would be the goose...j/s

Everyone can be offended by something, Jew's, Arabs, Christians, gay, black, white , meat eater, dog lovers, sex, jokes and on and on. ...
Lock up all the PC idiots and get over it! The world would be such a better place!

I am offended by this! Give me play doh!

Ok, you can have some play doh but not the yellow one, that offends me

I am offended you don't like yellow! Gimme! Don't discriminate

Just a cotton pickin minute!
I'm offended that your offended by my offense to yellow!

and mingle would be silent, if all 'opinions' were dragged through the mud like those deemed to be too 'pc'

we need to get over the notion that being 'offended' is terrible and wrong, or we are at risk of being hypocrites ...

seeing that everyone here posting anything negative about anyone or anybody is posting to 'social media' about their feelings and are obviously annoyed on some level about something that disregards their own standards and principles.



offended: annoyance or resentment brought about by a perceived insult to or disregard for oneself or one's standards or principles.
