The bad news? Rather than stand up to this idiocy, Hallmark looked at its bottom line and figured a PR war with the NAACP wasnt worth it. The cards been yanked from the market.
It’s a good thing that Hallmark was not niggardly in their efforts to solve the problem.
I was gonna bring up the guy who resigned (don’t remember the details) because he used the word “niggardly”. LOL
Idiots.
Hearing dialect is NOT “whities” fault!
Maybe Hallmark should make a card for H-Holes. What’s an H-Hole? It’s an a-hole who speaks the truth. Join the H-Hole Army today!

Is Hoops or Yoyo the racist?
These hos would go anywhere for publicity. Jeez...get a life.....HYHEY
“And you hear the ‘Rrrrr’ in there which mean (sic)’whores’ and not ‘hole.” The ‘R’ is in there.” LOL. She forgot to add an enphatic “NOT!”
My kids love Hoops and Yoyo.
It’s all about IIIII Me Me Me....git over your selves The world does not revolve around you. I am starting a NAFAWP National Association for the Advancement of White People!!!
A special meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets turned tense and bizarre this afternoon.
County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts.
Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections “has become a black hole” because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.
Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a “white hole.”
That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.
Mayfield shot back that it was a figure of speech and a science term. A black hole, according to Webster’s, is perhaps “the invisible remains of a collapsed star, with an intense gravitational field from which neither light nor matter can escape.”
Other county officials quickly interceded to break it up and get the meeting back on track. TV news cameras were rolling, after all.

Commissioner John Wiley Price justifies his reasoning for referring to Mayfield’s “black hole” comment as racist.

Happened in Chicago.
Every time something this ridiculous occurs, it makes anyone that these baiters propose to support look ignorant.
I wish African Americans would wake up and see that the Democratic Party and the above groups and individuals probably never; but certainly now do not have their best interests in mind.
Hey NAA(L)CCCP! Shut the hell up! Your ignorance is showing...
