NAACP Claim Offense at WHITE Hangman Decoration


With white hands:

The NAACP claims to find the hanging decoration to be offensive and even cited some backstory about the history of the lynchings of African Americans. This is an odd statement to make, considering the hangman has white hands.

Van Miltenberg said he has been hanging this Halloween display for years, adding that it was first inspired by hangings in the Old West. He also pointed out that the hangman’s hands are white.

Ogden NAACP president Rev. Stanley Ellington said the Halloween decoration is offensive no matter what Van Miltenberg’s intention was.

Shortly after Ellington filed a complaint with Roy City Police, he was informed that there was absolutely no legal ground to force Van Miltenberg to take down his display. A Roy City Police spokesman affirmed that Mr. Van Miltenberg’s display and his right to hang it are both constitutionally protected.

The NAACP is complaining under the assumption that Van Miltenberg hung this decoration with malicious intent, because that’s always the first thing people think of when putting up Halloween decorations, “how can I offend the NAACP”. However, Van Miltenberg insists that he never intended to offend anyone. His inspiration for the decoration came from the hangings in the Old West. It looks like the NAACP will lose this battle, seeing how Van Miltenberg’s display is constitutionally protected.
