I dunno. A peel in a tree sounds like the work of Skinner.

Good one!

Anyone remember the "banana splits" children's tv show?

One banana, two banana, three banana, four... Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more...

Ahhh, crap! Now how do I get that song outta my head? :P

These snowflakes would love to see this country go back to the Jim Crow era, lynchings by the KKK, and even slavery. That way they can have real racial issues to fight but now they're reduced to whining about a banana peel in a tree
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

I'm to the point of being nauseated by these mewling freaks who respond to everything by being hurt, frightened, upset, etc.  They seem to be walking open wounds.

If they could find a single testicle to share among them, it might help a little.

Was the offending fruit part merely draped over a tree limb,  or was it affixed to a tiny noose with a message pinned to it reading "Alpha Omegas lack a peel"?

In the course of my nearly seventy years on this earth, I've seen a number of strewn banana peels lying here and there.  Nobody I knew associated those peels with some sort of nefarious message meant for black people. Nobody I knew ever said anything about them. They were just banana peels/litter that some cluck had thrown on the ground.
I have to believe many millions of  black people over the centuries have seen strewn banana peels without freaking out. I assume a percentage of black people have themselves strewn banana peels.
So why the outrage now?  Are millennial's feelings that fragile? If these people can be "triggered" by the mere sight of a banana peel, what has our country descended to?

Well, yeah, but this one was up in a tree, obviously conferring nefarious and sinister intent to it.

That would be gorilla warfare.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Yep. IIRC, they came along not long after The Monkees.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Yup.  Sid and Marty Kroft.  I guess Barry White got his break as a songwriter on the show.

I LMAO'ed at that interview.  "In case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm him and he's me.  We could have used a little more rehearsal."

@dfwgator, Mike said it was the Banana Splits, I wasn't living in Va at the time. I will ask him again the next time I see him.
