Bed Bath & Beyond Pulls Black Jack-O-Lanterns Following 'Blackface' Complaints

Home goods retailer Bed Bath & Beyond has pulled its black jack-o-lantern Halloween decorations over complaints that they resemble "blackface" and are therefore racially insensitive.  Yes. An entire store chain just yanked some dark-colored plastic pumpkins off its shelves – and apologized for them – because a few people said they were racist.  Welcome to 2019.
