I hope he bought it anyway.

Aunt Jemima was portrayed on the label as just a normal black woman. There wasn’t anything racist about it. Same with Uncle Ben. And there was no outrage and no demand to get rid of them either

Wait till someone finds out I don’t like black jelly beans or black licorice. I’ll have hordes of protestors hovering around my property.

JK. I like both.

No, you're not fat.

Sometimes, even that lie can cause trouble if you say it like: "No, those jeans don't make you look fat"

My late wife was named Karen. She died from stomach cancer two years ago. It wasn’t fun to watch.

If the demoncrats get in, everything you or anyone
who had posted to FR for the last twenty years will
be scrutinized and held against them. Just watch.

I just got to that point last year!
Nice to know someone else is taking the destruction of our country seriously.
My goal is at least five.

They have made speaking a trap. Every word except “the” is now subject to being called racist (if you’re White). blacks can use them with impunity. Whites lose their jobs for words that aren’t racist but that someone thinks are.

Also “silence is violence”, so not saying anything is out.

Aunt Jemima was a real person who was paid very well for being the model after being a great cook. So now it is not racist to tear her down.

You left out the other half which should say no with an arrow pointing to the block which says, it’s racist anyway.

A few years ago in Dallas TX, at a meeting of the County Commissioners, someone was complaining about the fact that funds allocated to a specific use were missing. The term used was that the funds had just “gone into a black hole”.

Commissioner John W. Price, a well-known black activist, immediately reacted and was irate that the term was RACIST! He made a big deal of it and grabbed headlines.

Don’t say anything and you are racist ...

Silence is Violence.

No matter what, your white skin makes you privileged and therefore racist.

Not saying things is also racist.

As is not being racist.
