NJ Elementary School Calls Cops On Third-Grader For Saying 'Brownie'
Daily Caller ^ | June 29, 2016 | Jim Treacher

In the English language, a certain type of baked chocolate dessert is known as a "brownie." This is very problematic, of course, because a lot of people have brown skin. If you say the word "brownie" out loud, you might hurt the feelings of a person with brown skin. And that's bad. That's why we have the police.

On June 16, police were called to an unlikely scene: an end-of-the-year class party at the William P. Tatem Elementary School in Collingswood.

A third grader had made a comment about the brownies being served to the class. After another student exclaimed that the remark was "racist," the school called the Collingswood Police Department, according to the mother of the boy who made the comment.

Please tell me you forgot your “end sarcasm” tag.

You just can’t be sure any more, even here.

Why didn’t the cop arrest the school administrator for attempted terrorism of a child under the color of administrative authority?

There’s no worse human beings on planet earth than public school administrators in America. They are satanic.

Back in the 70’s, I worked at an aluminum smelter with a colored guy named John Brown. Nice guy, and he preferred to be called by his nickname which was “Brownie.” If he’d only known.

Mr Christie’s political career will end in 2018. I don’t think Mr Trump will pick him as a VP.

Next time you cook up some of those tasty dark colored treats, do not call them the B word. Call them dark colored sugary squares.

Can't use the word "colored" anymore.

Not even sure it's ok to say "dark."

Try "dark colored sugary squares."

Brownie

Started by that evil white guy, George Eastman (Kodak).

Using technology he stole from slaves.

“another student exclaimed that the remark was “racist,” the school called the Collingswood Police Department”

In a sane world, the kid who was offended would be spanked and the school official who called the police would be charged with making a frivolous report.

In a sane world.

Sugary squares of color? They might be proud of their melanin.

I live in New Jersey and take offense to that remark. Anything disparaging could be said about any state in the nation.

They called the police and the police came out. For a f¥cking word. They ruined the boy’s life for a word.

This is my country, and I’m not leaving it, but I’ve given up on the stupidity of half of the people.

It’s consuming itself. No outside force is needed to bring it down. It is handling its own downfall quite well.

The muzzies don’t have to bomb us. They can just walk in and take over. Looks like bammy is letting them do just that.
