What's the angle on that, couldn;t find a fuckin trashcan..he;s not some kind of litterer, right? The only kind of littering he feels comfortable with, apparently, is hanging bananas in trees.
Innocent banana eaters hanging their peels in trees at Ole Miss in order to avoid(?) littering?
I don't know if the littering college student meant to send a racist message or not - either scenario seems plausible at this point. People do some real dumb things with their litter sometimes, especially lazy 20 year olds who are at school with no mommy or daddy to pick up after them.

I could be wrong with this but I throw banana peels on the floor in wooded areas because nature takes its course.
I don't actually consider it littering or bad for the environment apart from the little label on the banana.
In relation to the racism bit though I can see the outrage of the nooses and the harambe bait but not at all in relation to the lone banana.

If there was a trash can right there I'd rather put the skin on the floor, it makes no sense to wrap send the skin to a landfill site when it should be used as nutrients for the ground.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
