He may have been overly-sensitive about Clinton brown and Tucker chocolate, but he probably had a point when they came out with “As black as Clinton Tucker”

This will have a predicable outcome. Whatever the merits of his lawsuit, Clinton Tucker, per his intentions, will get a settlement, and the paint names will be changed. Political correctness always wins as ultimately our society and media make it too expensive to fight.

No doubt behind him is a lawyer on contingency working the system for go-away money.

His lawyer is going to have to prove intent to harm.

Hopefully they use the Lerner Email Backup System ver.2011®.

I’m a lifelong Washington Redskins fan. I vociferously and passionately defend their keeping the Redskins name. But it will be changed by the 1% of the population that continues to screech loudly about it being offensive.

Is he two-toned in color? If not I don’t see how both colors were named after him.

I’d be upset if they named a paint after me and didn’t pay me.

A FReeper pointed out yesterday that at least one of the colors had that name as far back as 1990. The color was named after a historic old mansion.

But, you’re right.
