So, Wine is now racist. Or something. Or it's Red against White. Or something. And if you don't stand with BLM, no matter WHAT your profession is, you're on the wrong side of History. And if you don't make your statements and cow-tow to BLM in a time frame that THEY deem fit, they will destroy you.

The world has lost it's ever-lovin' MIND!

P.S. 'Whitey' cannot be a member of 'The Hue Society.'

Every organization, society, gathering, club, group, association, etc., should just stay out of anything And everything race-related. Don’t give money. Don’t create scholarships or grants or foundations. No good will come of it.

Had a Napa Cabernet the other day, best Napa red I have ever had and I have had 30 years worth of it. The vintner was a black guy, don’t care if he is green or blue, his wine was fantastic.

No more master-slave switch combos in electronics.

No more Grand Master paintings.

No more Grand Master Flash.

No more Master Classes (that's actually a good thing as so-called Master classes are about as educational as TED talks, i.e. useless)

No more Master Chef

No more MasterLock

No more PBS American Masters paeans to leftie artists

No more MasterCard

No more VISA (while we're at it) as it suggests required documentation.

No more Discovery Card as it brings back traumatic memories of the so-called 'Discovery of America' by gringos

I guess we'll all have to go back to using Diner's Card if it still exists.

The Race Hustlers are wound-up about the term “Master.” It seems that, to them, it can ONLY have a slavery-related connotation.

I like what another Freeper said...”LIVES MATTER...If you have to put a color in front of those words you’re a Racist.”

The particular use of “Master” - as in Master Sommelier or Master of Wine - in the elite wine organizations comes from a standard of accomplishment, as when someone “masters” a subject and is really no different in substance than like a “masters degree” in college.

Referring to wine expert as “Master” is about respecting their “rank” as an achievement, not as a master over you personally.

Words taken out of context cannot be assumed to have a meaning that does not honor their context.

I can’t figure out what the bat-sh!t crazy woman is saying. Is wine a thing for black people or not? If it is, why is she throwing a prestigious credential back in their face?

“No more Noir wines?”

Oh, Noes! I’m a Pinot Noir Girl all the way! I also like just about any perfume with the word ‘Noir’ in the name. ;)

Also, no more Zeller Schwarze Katz wine? A little too sweet, but still nice with dessert.
