Simple answer—use no black models—If one must use non-whites, there are Asian and Latinos people can hire. You don’t need this black racism junk.

I’m Polish, every time I see a flagpole I feel bad.

That’s good! Left-handed people are creepy, but not as much as twins (who have to share one soul).../s

I was watching something on Islam years ago, and it described how there were virtually no left-handed people in the Islamic world. Sad for them, as they write right to left...

You could imagine the conversations I have with my children if one of those commercials is on; I proudly remind them of all that white people have accomplished and built. Living near Newark NJ, they know “the rest of the story”...

White girl in a position of dominance. Oh the White privilege! the girl, by being White, carries the burden of years of slavery and taking longer to wait on Black customers than on White ones.

Good for you!

“But this picture is A-OK? FUGAP “

This picture is absolutely NOT OK. It shows a black girl being supported by a white girl implying that blacks cannot support themselves. Is the GAP saying that blacks cannot stand on their own two feet?? RASISTS!

[GSWarrior]

I am offended by the number of baldists that I encounter.

[King Moonracer]

Thin skinned buffoonery is the new meme for race hustlers.

[WKUHilltopper]

Ha! Good point. They’ve missed that point—that a black girl has to be supported up by a white girl.

Stop apologizing to idiots.

I think I heard yesterday that these 2 kids were actually sisters from a mixed race marriage

Is everyone missing the true point? The girls are sisters. I attached an article earlier in the thread.

Their mother is an actor. The little one was adopted.

And the black girl is the only one wearing glass.....oh so now blacks don’t have good eyesight?

[dfwgator]

You know a lot of blacks are appalled when white families adopt black children.

I’ve seen that guy Cody Lundin on tv and he never wears boots, if he can do it I can.

Your clock needs cleaning and a new battery! I reached that stage about forty years ago.
