I think the whole world moved past that story the next day, unless they were looking for a reason to be offended by people who were offended. I'm African American. I wasn't offended. I would use raw cotton stalks as decoration. None of my friends were offended. I have the intelligence to discern something that really IS offensive vs. something silly, and I think most other people do too. If I got myself twisted every time someone got offended, I guess I would be like you. I don't. I practice discernment, therefore, I know the difference. Now - how about pence and his fake indignation? Glossed right over that. I think the people offended by people expressing their right to protest are offensive and over the top.
