The New York Times, that intrepid warrior for anything and everything that the Left is hysterical about, on Friday published a lengthy piece about a source of systemic racism that no one has ever noticed before: It seems that equestrian helmets are racist because they don’t accommodate the dreadlocks that some black horse riders wear. One black rider’s mother lamented: “Mostly everything in this sport isn’t designed for us.” Well, that’s got to change, and these Jackie Robinsons of the Coiffure, with the Times’ generous help, are leading the way to the Equestrian Helmet Justice that our society so desperately needs.
Chanel Robbins, the Times tells us solemnly, “has been riding horses most of her life, ever since her grandmother traded a cow from their family’s farm in Ontario for a pony when she was 7.” Horse riding “offered an escape from thoughts that weighed on her,” which included the fact that “she was the only Black girl in the neighborhood.” But when she grew dreadlocks, her helmet didn’t fit anymore, and that, as you must know by now, is racist.
Fighting back tears (really, the Times actually said she was), Robbins said: “I finally freaking feel like myself, and now society is asking me to change. I just want to be able to ride.” How dare Whitey do this! Is there nothing to which he will not stoop? Poor Chanel Robbins can only find relief on the back of a horse from the systemic racism that confronts her every hour in Amerikkka, but now Whitey has taken even that away!

White infants are born racists—that is why the “tolerant” leftists are going to want to kill them in the cribs.

Exactly!
I have a female, black lab. They can’t call me sexist or racist.
***equestrian helmets are racist***
Just buy a bigger helmet and let the dredlocks be the padding to prevent you ending up like Christopher Reeve.
On May 27, 1995, Reeve broke his neck when he was thrown from a horse during an equestrian competition...
You're both. It shows you want to dominate females and blacks by owning them. The dog is merely a symbol of this sexism and racism.
Seems that Chanel Robbins has stumbled upon a unique business opportunity. She should immediately design and market a line of exclusive equestrian products aimed at the black community. If this is as big a problem as she thinks, she will be a millionaire in no time.
These idiot liberals are allergic to the universe.
I guess they can’t say I do something half-assed then.
The little knob on one of my kitchen cabinets is a racist. I can just tell.
You are a racist for having a black lab.
Now you don't have to wonder anymore!
Oops! Tripped up again!
... for having a Black lab.
sounds like a business opportunity for them...
If you look carefully, equestrian helmets are actually bicycle helmets with covers over them!
So black people are going to be designing their own helmets, right? Or do they expect white people to do it for them? Let me guess the answer...
