Thank God Butch Jones isn't black. We'd be called racist if we wanted a change.

I am surprised the usual suspects haven't started to trot out the black coach thing. I remember after Fulmer getting fired that was the thing..gotta have a black coach! He can connect with the players!!
I believe Tyrone Willingham was the name being dropped back then :eek:lol:

On our way to church we saw a little Mexican girl walking down the sidewalk. She had a backpack on, and I said “look kids, it’s dora!” They then called me a racist 😜. Ha

New York Post: Moms are freaking out that ‘Moana’ costume is ‘cultural appropriation’

Moms are freaking out that ‘Moana’ costume is ‘cultural appropriation’

The scariest thing this Halloween for New York moms isn’t zombies or ghouls — it’s politically incorrect costumes.

An article on raceconscious.org by Sachi Feris has been making the rounds on mommy Facebook groups. Feris writes that her 5-year-old daughter declared she wanted to be Polynesian Disney character Moana, which she worried would be “cultural appropriation.”

Her daughter’s other choice: Scandinavian Queen Elsa from the Disney movie “Frozen.”

“I had some reservations regarding both costume choices … about cultural appropriation and the power/privilege carried by Whiteness, and about Whiteness and standards of beauty,” she wrote.

Feris went on to describe a series of conversations with her daughter, particularly focusing on the ethics of dressing as Moana, who as a teen sets out on a treacherous sea journey to save her family’s island from famine and destruction — and succeeds.

In the end, Feris’s daughter decided to dress as Elsa — though Feris was concerned it might teach her short-haired brunette daughter that one must be white, blue-eyed and have long flaxen hair to be a “beautiful” princess.

But she nixed the Moana costume for Mickey Mouse, because, as Ferris wrote, “we don’t have to worry about making fun of anyone or dressing up as a culture different from our own because Mickey Mouse is a pretend mouse!

“One thing is for sure, our discussions around appropriate and inappropriate Halloween costumes will continue,” concluded Feris.

Her blog was almost universally praised by commenters. Yvette Brown, wrote: “I admire your perseverance in interacting with your daughter. … You also have given her essential values along with guidelines so she has the opportunity to grow, be creative, learn and find her way in the world.”

But another commenter named Amanda expressed reservations. “This feels murky,” she wrote. “I recognize the need to be sensitive, I’m just wondering how you parse the nuances for a child.”

Meanwhile, a New York mom of one daughter told The Post: “I think it’s silly to take children’s Halloween costumes so seriously. They’re kids, can’t they just be kids and not involved with the whole political correctness thing?

“Parents need to chill out a little bit.”

“....he just wanted to highlight "the reality -- no matter how politically incorrect."”

Bingo. Reality is really hard for people to accept. Ones feelings are most important.

Yep. People have a hard time with what their ancestors did or didn't do..and they often try to live vicariously through those actions or inaction's.

A disabled white man was attacked on a Maryland mass transit bus by an African American who seemed to be blaming the victim for putting his ancestors into slavery, according to police.

The 52-year-old victim was a passenger on a Metro bus in the Washington, DC, suburb of Silver Spring, Maryland, when Marquis Evans-Royster, 27, began spitting in his face and hurling racial epithets at him, according to ABC in Washington.

The harassment began almost immediately after Evans-Royster boarded the bus without paying the fare, police said.

The victim, who is homeless and remains unnamed in reports, initially tried to ignore Evans-Royster’s taunts but finally tried to push the attacker away when he began to go through the victim’s pockets while yelling, “You owe me for making my grandmother a slave.”

This seems to be a theme for all non-racist people...
