The cancel culture is getting out of control

Calling the cops over fireworks is a little obnoxious. I’m in the middle of it and they’re not that bad

Some literature for you

You know what the most disturbing part of that article was? At the time the story around the country was about a 2 year old who was tragically taken from this world too soon but this clown decided to make it about race with a story that never was and never will be verified.

What else....

And be honest. When you hear anyone say the Masters, you think of slave masters in the South. There’s nothing else, nothing special. You don’t think of someone mastering the game of golf. When has anyone mastered golf?

Uh, no. I think of the golf tournament.

Perhaps I’m just not “woke” enough, but is anybody else looking at all the corporate removals of the black cultural advertising icons on product labels and thinking... wow, that’s pretty racist that you no longer want a black person representing your brand and all this crap just gave you an excuse to remove them.

I have been thinking the exact same thing, but I think it is more the gun to the head by the woke crowd that doesn't get the fact that their guilt is manifesting this blatant racism. Sorry to see Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben go, but I won't lose any sleep over it. Pretty soon, there will be no team mascots in sports. Just 'The Atlanta Professional Baseball Club', playing St Louis. An A on one hat and an S on the other. But wait. I'm not Catholic and I don't recognize saints. Just .....Louis.

Have "they" determined who is going to replace Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben? What if it's a white person?

Rhode Island considers name change due to slavery connotations

What’s in a name? For the state of Rhode Island, years of acrimony over an official designation with connotations of slavery.

But change is brewing in the union’s smallest state, as Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo signed an executive order on Monday taking the "first steps" to change the state’s full name: "The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations."

I’ll be interested to see which way the wind blows for Brett Favre after his discussion about Kap and comparing him to Pat Tillman today.

Please tell me he didn’t.

But if he did maybe he was comparing their azzholeish levels.

I hope not. I've got tickets for November and I plan on eating at least one of everything on the concession menu.

Not good:

'It is our history': Families of Aunt Jemima former models oppose Quaker Oats' planned brand changes

Two families of women who portrayed Aunt Jemima say they oppose Quaker Oats' plans to rename the brand of syrup and pancake mixes and change the iconic figure...“This is an injustice for me and my family. This is part of my history,” Evans told Patch. “The racism they talk about, using images from slavery, that comes from the other side – white people. This company profits off images of our slavery. And their answer is to erase my great-grandmother’s history.”

“I wish we would take a breath and not just get rid of everything, because good or bad, it is our history,” Vera Harris, family historian for the Richard family, told KLTV. “Removing that wipes away a part of me. A part of each of us. We are proud of our cousin.”

Ethel Ernestine Harper, the last real woman whose face appeared on the brand, later became a celebrated teacher of Black history through schools, the Girl Scouts and as a topical radio host in her adopted hometown of Morristown, New Jersey, reported the Morristown Daily Record, part of the USA TODAY Network.

Aunt Jemima brand changes: Families of models oppose Quaker Oats' plan

So the black people directly involved in this branding don't like the idea of changing it. Is anyone going to listen to them? Who exactly was offended anyway? It seems like this was a snap decision by Quaker. They didn't do their due diligence before announcing this

No, he called them both heroes.

Who the hell knew that Providence Plantations was part of the state's name? I didn't learn that in school

‘Offensive’ Imagery of St Michael Defeating Satan Is ‘Reminiscent of George Floyd’

The Guardian has promoted a petition calling for British honours depicting the victory of St Michael the Archangel over Satan to be redesigned, as the “offensive” imagery is “reminiscent of the recent murder of George Floyd”.

The 202-year-old order is now under fire, however, as the insignia associated with it depict a fair-skinned St Michael “trampling” a darker-skinned Satan — despite this such imagery being very long-established in Christian iconography, being rooted in the description of the Archangel’s victory over the Devil in the Bible.

“This is a highly offensive image, it is also reminiscent of the recent murder of George Floyd by the white policeman in the same manner presented here in this medal,” reads the petition to redesign the honour, attributed to one Tracy Reeve.

Sportswriter Suggests Changing Name Of The Masters Golf Tournament: ‘It’s Only Right And Just’

A sportswriter who had already suggested that the NFL eliminate the playing of the national anthem before each game is now suggesting that The Masters golf tournament change its name because “in the current climate, with all the sweeping changes, it’s only right and just.”

On Monday, Parker wrote about The Masters,which has the smallest field of the major championships, with 90–100 players, asserting, “The name ‘The Masters’ must go. The heralded golf tournament, one of the four majors, needs to go back to its original name — the Augusta National Invitational. It became the Masters in 1939.”
