Ten Things You Didn’t Know Were Racist
National Review ^

Posted on 08/24/2015 4:51:32 AM PDT by TigerClaws

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.”

Anyone so lily-livered should leave and go check into a mental health facility.

They left out three racist words!

“a”, “an”, and “the” are racist!

Wait till Jesus shows up and they have to kneel to him. Then they are really going to be upset. Its pretty obvious some people haven’t been through hard times when they complain about this type of stupidity.

Here’s some microaggression for you:

Too many fathers are males
Too many mothers re female

So, I support the terms parent 1 and parent 2 - just be sure that each category has equal numbers of males and females in them other wise it maybe sexist. Oops - does that mean they must enter their gender? If so, that is sexist too. Oh dear, maybe only a name will suffice - but is Kelly a man’s name or a woman’s name. Oh, I forgot, I should not ask such a sexist question.

Sigh. Life is so very hard these days with such important matters to resolve. Who has time to worry about ISIS and dissected baby parts anyway - that is so yesterday.

It’s racist for a sheep to have Black hair? For a white man as well maybe?

It doesn’t bother me that these idiots have these opinions, but it really irks me when weak-kneed lily-livered organizations bow to their demands.

The University of Georgia BANNED hoop skirts???

Really, the Dawgs and all?

So, since these are “Banned”, what happens if one wears one? Are they fined, imprisoned, expelled?

What if a male person wears one, and says he/she/it is wearing it because they’re transgendered?

Anyway, it is probably crap like this that keeps college administrators up all night, worrying, despite their $1/4 million salaries! Oh the humanity!

There are far more than 10 things that are “racist.”

Michelle 0bama has declared that museums, and classical music are “racist.” The National Park System has been denounced as “racist” because blacks don’t like visiting the woods. Disagreeing with anything said by a non-white person is automatically “racist.” Essentially, anything that white people like, do or say is “racist.” Matter of fact, just being white is “racist.”
