1. “Baa, Baa Black Sheep” is racist. The nursery rhyme, which dates back to the Middle Ages, is under attack. Some schools and family centers in Scotland, England, and Australia have eliminated the word “black” as racist, and now refer to “rainbow sheep,” “happy sheep,” or “green sheep,” though these new adjectives make no sense at all. Stuart Chamberlain of the Oxford Sure Start Center in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, said, “Basically we have taken the equal-opportunity approach to everything we do.” A local dissenter, however, called it “Stalinist.”
2. M.A.s may be racist, postmasters too. Stephen Davis, master of Pierson College at Yale, says the word “master” in his title is severely upsetting some students and driving them off campus. He wants Pierson and Yale’s eleven other residential colleges to have “heads” rather than “masters.”
3. Liking white meat is racist. Writer Ron Rosenbaum said in Slate that racism accounts for the popularity of white-meat turkey over more flavorful dark meat. “White meat turkey has no taste,” he explained. “Despite its superior taste, dark meat has dark undertones for some. Dark meat seems to summon up ancient fears of contamination and miscegenation as opposed to the supposed superior purity of white meat.”
4. Hoop skirts are racist. After student affairs administrators met with fraternity and sorority leaders, the University of Georgia banned hoop skirts as evocations of the ante bellum South. Writing in the Washington Post, Elizabeth Boyd opined that this decision should go national: While donning a hoop skirt may not constitute a hate crime . . . make no mistake. The Southern belle performances routinely staged on campuses across the South constitute choreography of exclusion . . . young white women serve as signs of nostalgia for a bygone, segregated South and all its attendant privileges.
5. Lunch bags look racist. Elliot Bronstein of the Seattle Office for Civil Rights sent a memo to the public-affairs office banning the term “brown bag” as in brown-bag lunches.
6. Complimenting America as open and fair is racially hurtful. “I believe the most qualified person should get the job” is officially listed as a micro-aggression that the University of California wants eliminated from its classrooms. Also banned are “America is the land of opportunity,” and “America is a melting pot,” because some students may regard those ideas as controversial.
7. Libertarians are racist. In an interview, testy HBO writer-producer David Simon (The Wire, Treme) severely criticized libertarians and suggested that libertarian rhetoric about “freedom” and “liberty” is just code for racism.

8. Climate change advances racism. Best-selling Canadian author Naomi Klein told the Guardian, “You see that in Australia where the treatment of migrants is a profound moral crisis. It’s clear that as sea levels rise this mean streak and open racism is going to become more extreme.”
9. Banning sagging pants is racist. NRO’s Katherine Timpf reported that Henderson State University in Arkansas had banned sagging pants, but the sign announcing the ban came down in two days after students protested. “Those students wanting the sign taken down because they say sagging pants are culturally associated with African Americans,” said student Daisha Haggans.
10. If too many white males are in your class, that’s racist. The Harvard “Voices of Diversity” project interviewed 200 students at four U.S. colleges and found that racist and sexist “micro-aggressions” — subtle but hurtful digs — are a serious problem. Examples: finding that most of the people in your class are white males, other students rolling their eyes when you speak, and “a slight raising of the eyebrows or eyes following you in the dining hall.”
“Since about 70% of them come from Marin County, they call these honkies, “Marindians”.”
That’s great! Lol!
“Several times a couple of them got sick doing it. Didn’t deter them.”
It can be 105 degrees out and the ones at my neighbors still feel the need to crawl under that tarp and get even hotter. I’m not sure what it is that compels them to do such. Some kind of fantasy about the “noble savage” or something? Perhaps just a very charismatic guru like leader they’re seeking approval from? Maybe it’s the demonic entities that are deliberately being called in. Whatever it is, none of it is gonna bring any one of the libtard’s DNA any closer to being an indian.
boy, we’re going way back
but yeah, I remember them! :)
I am only 56!
I don’t know how watermelon came to be a “black food”. We ate it all the time, but I’m the child of poor white hill billies. My dad grew up in the projects.
I do know an interesting story about how chicken came to be negatively associated with blacks. Earlier in our nation’s history, before production farming, chickens were expensive. A film came out, I think it was Birth of a Nation, but I may be mistaken showing a black eating a chicken. The idea was that he was getting uppity and not being in his ‘place’.
I also love fried chicken, so feel free to serve me racially insensitive food.
White bread is the most popular bread in black neighborhoods. There isn’t any whole grain, at least not that I’ve ever seen.
IIRC in the wake of the huge popularity of the original first Star Wars movie it was accused by activists of being racist since the humans at least were an all white cast. Lucas replied to this accusation something like oh come on now I have heard everything. Nevertheless being stung by the accusation and being the good liberal he was he made sure the subsequent movies had some black actors. Billy Dee Williams as Lando and Samuel Jackson as Mace Windu. Lucas these days is married to a black woman.
I’ve got a case of ticks and cheegros on me right now! Was itching all night!
Thinkof what the original Ompha lompas were in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
They were changed from pygamies to orange faced midgets, er, short people, that is, vertically challenged, Aw, to heck with it!
Back in the 1960s after school desegregation, black students raised cane because there was NO SOUL FOOD in the school cafeteria.
Today, black students raise hell when there IS soul food in the cafeteria.
In the book THREE YEARS IN ARKAN-SAW, written around 1900, the author tells of a black woman who died. No one wanted to get close enough to check her to see if she was really dead, so they decided to fry some chicken and pass it under her nose. If she didn’t wake up and grab for it they would know she was really dead.
I was kinda like making a joke since just about everything a liberal doesn’t like is racist. Saying racist is racist. That’s how stupid it’s begun.
Next time put some kerosene on your socks, around your ankles. Don't sit on pine straw or dry leaves. Don't put the same clothes on the next day (without a washing). And never try the Yankee tourist trick of stuffing Spanish Moss in your suitcase to show the folks back home. It is loaded with chiggers!
Use Calamine lotion or try clear nail polish over the chiggers to cut off their air supply.
Why does lint and stuff...end up in the navel?
Thank you so much for the information. The series content is totally in keeping with the secular humanist philosophy. Odd that anything as obvious as the race thing would be overlooked by Lucas. Oh well, looks like even a flaming liberal can make a mistake.(sarc)
I once found a tourist map of Florida, probably from the 1950s, at a used book sale. It had little pictures of people doing fun things like waterskiing, but the only images of black people were of two black children eating watermelon.
SWIMMING is rei-cis! Whitey does it better!
I mean, 20+ points higher?
Weird story. If they passed fried chicken under my nose, I’d wake up. Do you like soul food? There’s a restaurant on the westside of Chicago called Doggy’s soul food. Frist time I went there years ago I made sure to ask, “Do you serve white people there.” We all had a good laugh. Good food and I brought my kids there.
I was just pointing out the irony of the ‘white bread’ epithet.
Fried chicken was our every Sunday lunch, from chickens that we grew.
We always had fresh made banana pudding too.
Racist.

How is that racist? Unless, maybe, in their ignorance, they think it has to do with certain fluffy white crop.
My father told me a story a while back than when he was 5 or so he’d visit his grandfather’s farm where sharecroppers were picking cotton. He went out in the field to help and the black pickers laughed at him because he couldn’t drag the cotton bag along the ground.
