Is A Dreadlocked Dummy Hanging From A Tree Racist???

A dummy with dreadlocks is causing controversy in New York and leaving some residents to shout cries of racism.

NBC New York reports that a scarecrow with dreadlocks was hung from a Brooklyn tree by a noose before it was removed Wednesday.

The scarecrow was described as having reddish-colored feet and a Halloween mask and was hung from a tree in front of a house in the Fort Hamilton section of Brooklyn.

City Councilman Charles Barron was one of the main people vying for the dummy to be taken down.

“This is racist,” Barron said. “It’s sick, it’s not funny, it’s not trick, or treat. It’s madness.”

No charges are expected against the homeowners whose house it was in front of.

Police did not need the homeowners’ permission to take it down.
