"This woman served all those people, and it was after slavery. She worked as Aunt Jemima. That was her job," he continued. "How do you think I feel as a black man sitting here telling you about my family history they're trying to erase?"

    I totally support the shopkeepers, capitalists, and entrepreneurs. My comments were directed at the so-called protesters. When you're going around using force picking which people can live their lives, that's called extortion.

    it should only follow that the Quaker Company should remove the picture of the gentleman in the black hat from its label and advertising because it caricatures a religious sect and then Chef Boiardi insulting Italian language names. We could go down the list: Marie Callander, Sister Schubert, all are fair game. RUBBISH, the first step in reshaping society is to destroy the past which considering the way things are playing out there will have been no slavery, no United States, no religion except for the state sponsored propaganda!

    Lives matter; is someone feels a need to put a color in front of that statement, they are probably the racist.

    Speaking of evolution (as it seems to be going in reverse for some in our species these days), I recently heard one of the radio talk show hosts redefine the "CHAZ" or "CHOP" insurrectionist zone in Seattle. He calls them "CHUD" (after the old (1984) B-grade scifi movie "C.H.U.D." which stood for "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller"). Yeah, humanoid cannibal creatures who lived in the city sewer and came out to eat people. Sounds like a good label for the Antifa types.

    These idiots are not that smart...they just want ALL HISTORY WIPED OUT COMPLETELY !

    History is an important gauge to measure the evolution of our civilization and ourselves, in the right direction,.. according to laws of nature and natures creator.
    Mankind was once bicameral where the left and right brains did not cooperate, then we lost that illusionary voice in our heads and slowly gained the voice of self and eventually for some of us, (certainly not all) we gained conscious introspection, a conscience and a mind as unicameral humans...it has generally been an uphill battle until now where we find more than 60% of the population falling back into bicameral despair.

    Just as Our language was confounded at the fall of Babylon, this fight has been orchestrated not by our creator but by those that think they should be. I call them, parasitical humanoids or The Great Unwashed ruleless class...somehow, those bastards survived the flood!

    The same day I heard about his stupid decision (to dump the Aunt Jemima brand and logo), I immediately went out and bought a bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup (as for pancake mix - sorry, but I always use my Mom's old recipe for "scratch built" buttermilk batter). Even when the contents are gone, I will save the empty bottle for future generations, or at least until some degree of sanity returns to this country. By the way, I've also heard that "Uncle Ben's" rice is being withdrawn too (so I also bought several packages of that brand). And, apparently, the parent company (whoever that is) of the "Cream of Wheat" hot cereal is also "re-evaluating" their brand (those boxes have an image of a black man in a white chef's hat). You know, if these brands used all white people for their logos, these so-called "social justice warriors" would be hyperventilating over their "lack of inclusion!" And because of all this idiocy, we are seeing statues of NOT JUST CONFEDERATE GENERALS, but our Founding Fathers be torn down as well: including Washington, Jefferson, and EVEN LINCOLN!!! What do these idiotic FASCISTS want? Would they have preferred Lincoln NOT to have freed the slaves??? War is coming. These lunatics must be cracked down on, AND HARD!!!

    A liberal friend of mine who's very intelligent and caring tried to explain the removal of the name "Aunt Jemima" to me. She failed. On this, I don't understand the outrage.

    They are erasing all of my childhood. I won't know how to talk anymore and will have to relearn all the new nomenclature.

    'Cause we just can't talk about the success stories of blacks entrepreneurs. They can only be portrayed as the societal outcasts, the downtrodden, the perpetual victims, because if we treat them like that long enough they'll believe it and we can institute a whole new round of voluntary black slavery. - Democrats

    There is a big decision to be made this fall. Vote republican and stay citizens or vote democrat and turn into subjects.

    As much as I detest Obama for his ideology, not his race, he did understand that transformations are best carried out over longer periods of time.

    ยท Black Flag. Black Sabbath. Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. Black Box. The Blackbyrds. Blackfoot. Black Sheep. Blackhawk. Blackjack. Black Oak Arkansas. Blackgirl. BLACKstreet. Black Moon. Black Lab, Black jack.

    But now they have expanded...next up is: Eskimo pie!

    They claim that Uncle or Aunt was used instead of Mr and Mrs or Sir and Madam but I say it was used to show, they are just part of our family.
