News Tribune editorial: Three weeks ago today, someone — or a group of someones — put a President Obama mask over the face of what has been described as a scarecrow, wrapped a rope around the scarecrow’s neck and threw the rope over the top of a billboard across from Miller Hill Mall. Sadly, authorities appear no closer today than they were Nov. 6 to catching anyone responsible for the cowardly, racist and hateful act.

There’s no point in debating whether or not the video of two blackface-wearing University of Minnesota Duluth students — one currently enrolled, one former — is racist and derogatory. The two women admitted as much to the school’s student newspaper last week, apologizing profusely for having “horribly decided” to clown around obscenely in front of a video camera after putting on facial treatments.

Reader's view: ‘MO-BAMA’ headline critics need to lighten up
Political correctness is out of control. Seems anyone in any 40-watt spotlight has to be aware of what they wear, say or do. If they cross the politically correct zealots in any fashion they get labeled as (pick one or more) racist, zealot, homophobe, mean-spirited, insensitive, sexist, close-minded, bigoted, capitalistic or even environmentally unfriendly ignoramus.
