        This is an overblown story. I mean posse is a legitimate word and was used correctly. We have to change this PC culture.

        Posse is not racial term. It gets associated with AA's because rap used and normalized it. People need to stop acting sensitive

        this is a prime example of why Trump got elected. America has had enough of political correctness.

        So now the word posse is racist? How about group, assembly, gang, origination, mother, father, sky, ground, fence, Democrat?
