How about Uncle Jemima?

[Zeneta]

Didn’t Sambo’s change their name to Denny’s?

It’s like calling a thing by a new name doesn’t really change the thing, does it?

Black to African-American = ?

Ni88er to the “N-word” = ?

Handicapped to handicapable or whatever = ?

Retarded to, well you get where I’m going.

Then we have “Code words”

Thug etc....

So the language police must be admitting that the new words actually mean the same thing as the old words.

[Publius]

Sambo’s became Hungry Tiger.

I lived in Santa Barbara years ago.

My dad knew the founders of Sambo’s.

The Sambo name came from the first name of one of those founders, Sam Battistone, and the last two letters were the first two letters of the other founder’s last name....
Bonano. “Sam” + “Bo” = Sambo, or Sambo’s.

There was a big chain of these restaurants at one time, then there was some sort of dispute between the corporate offices and the managers of the restaurants and it all fell apart.

The “Sambo” kid on the sign had a turban, like a Sikh, and also had an Aladdin’s lamp.

She used to look like Hattie McDaniel. They eventually made her look like Lena Horne. Isn’t that enough?

[NathanR]

Tigers are Indian, not African

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

At one time, Aunt Jemina looked like Hattie McDaniel from “Gone With the Wind.”

Years later, she looked like one of the Supremes in their heyday.

The PC mob is absolutely out of control. Time for a little pushback.

Time to demand that former Ku Klux Klan Keagle and former democrat senator Robert Byrd be thoroughly and completely denounced and disowned by the democrat party.

His name should be removed from every building, project, road, park and other venue named to honor him.

I remember that location. I think it’s a Norm’s now.

[ViLaLuz]

Well Betty Crocker is white and that sounds too much like Betty Cracker. Better ban that, too.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Sure thing.

While we’re at it, let’s ban the movie “White Men Can’t Jump,” all of the comedy of Chris Rock (except his explanation on the difference between blacks and “n’s”), force and apology from Jamie Fox for celebrating that he was in a movie where he got to kill whites, etc., etc., etc., (unfortunately, ad nauseum).

Will they demand all of the scenes with Mammy in Gone With The Wind be deleted? Maybe force Hattie McDaniels heirs give back her Oscar.
