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.”

I’m going “Trump” (sort of like ‘going Galt’ but in the politically correct category). Racist? B.S. Not buying it and not submitting to it and not participating in it.

As a child I had white hair, then it turned blond, then it started to darken and went through dishwater blond, light brown and on until finally it was nearly black, then with age it went to gray temples and dark hair, very distinguished looking they said, then more and more gray and them back to white again. How many kinds of a racist does that make me?

Actually in order to be accurate “Baa baa black sheep” should not be racist but “Baa baa brown sheep” should.

I think it is racist to watch any show, movie, or sporting event that is not racially normed to society, that means 68% white, 12% black, less than 1% homo, etc..., so I don’t watch much outside movies made before 1980ish.

More white noise.

That, too, is racist.

The sermons at the Church of the Perpetually Offended have become a bit silly.

Apparently whining, complaining and belly-aching are not racist.

They say that as if it's a bad thing.
When they leave, it raises the average IQ of the university!

Yup; you're safe.
