Is being the “black sheep” of the family also racist?

Oh good grief. Does that mean that Black Sheep Squadron DVD's will have to have their titles changed?

Are the PC police suggesting that there is no such thing as a black sheep? Or that being a black sheep is to be an inferior sheep? Or that noticing that a sheep is black is to imply that white humans are superior to black humans?

Or what, exactly?

Asking questions like that will get you on some serious lists, these days, mister.

I don't know but I hear people who have black sheep are using Clairol hair color to dye their sheep blond - well, it could happen ;)

Another sign of the social collapse of the UK! This will definitely make it over to America since the UK is leading the way for the death of the West with America right behind them.

We need to put them out of their Leftist misery.

That’s more racist than this song!

All it does is see how much wool the sheep puts out!
