too busy promoting Duck Dynasty and propping up Jindal.

By the time anyone could organize a protest they will have taken it down. If they allowed a protest, that is, as it's private property. But when it's public space, something should be done.

I thought the racist complaint would be along the lines that it was an all'white' Christmas, totally Eurocentric, or exclusive to those memes.

This is an example of real life, in your face hate filled trolling, Not the spirit of celebration. They took a dump on the hopes of many people there. .

Thanks for alerting us to this.
