Not cute, not funny. Overtly racist and violent.
A damn lot of white, Asian and American Indians built this country, too.
Idaho? Seriously? Did you people let those filthy kalifornians in after all? Shame on you.
Please clarify your comment and not imply that blam made the comment that was offensive.
blam has been around too long and I do not want the comment to stick to blam.
Here is the company response and I think the employee should be fired:
“Yesterday, we mistakenly displayed an advertisement on one of our Boise area billboards. Had we properly vetted the copy through our sensitive copy approval process, we would have rejected it.
Unfortunately, due to employee oversight, the proper procedures were not followed in this case. Once management was made aware of the situation, we immediately removed the ad. Lamar does not endorse the content of the ad, and we apologize for our error in displaying it.
We are currently reminding our managers across the country about our copy acceptance procedures to ensure that any and all sensitive copy is reviewed and vetted properly in accordance with Lamar’s policy.”
Did they build the Tower of Babel too? 😁
Gives me vertigo just looking at that. And I’m not stranger to climbing ladders and working two or three stories up. Notice the bottle in the guys hands at the far right?
Not having a list of Lamar’s customers, the next best thing is to let THEM have it with both barrels.
“BLACK & BROWN FOLKS BUILT THIS COUNTRY (AND WE’RE DOING IT AGAIN) JOIN US OR GET OUT OF THE WAY!”
Hey asshole, the Mexicans will kill you when you’re done.
Thanks.
I read that to mean the sign were those things.
A mostly peaceful protest.
Since when is sitting around collecting SSI and welfare “building”?
They didn’t have the skills, usually
According to Abigail Adams when trying to complete the White House, two Yankee workmen were worth more than a dozen slaves.
Like the picture of Willie Brown and Kamal Harris out on a Date.
She looked as White as a a Klan Member in full garb.
From: http://www.econdataus.com/trade06.html (for some reason the percentage of GDP chart at the bottom differs from the absolute numbers at the top, which I used to calculate GDP share -- I prefer the absolute numbers in order to see the GDP growth over each decade; also, 1860 is not the best year for comparison, as the coming turmoil was well launched, but I'm going with the round numbers here). If someone has more specific numbers on slave-economy's portion of GDP over time, I'd love to see it. This is from a quick internet search (not going through Jstor, etc.). Regardless of the weakness of my reading of this data, it's clear that slave-plantation output, which was largely for export, constituted a narrow portion of the economy. Furthermore, the labor component of cotton production was likely a small portion of the commodity's value, even if slave labor were translated into wages. Worse, when considering the well-documented condition that slavery inhibited economic growth, we might change this billboard to read, "Black and brown people hindered the building of this country." |
History question: what does Zuckerberg have in common with the founder of the SS, Emil Maurice? (Maurice was SS member number 2; Hitler was number 1).
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the English began to hate.
Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.
