THAT'S OLD SCHOOL PEOPLE. WE IN NEW SCHOOL. MY GENERATION'

It seems that for a growing number of leftists, literally everything is racist. On Friday, the Daily Caller reported that child care centers in a Melbourne, Australia, suburb, are changing the lyrics of the centuries-old children's song "Baa Baa Black Sheep" because the word "black" has racist connotations. Additionally, one line is said to be sexist.
"Staff at childcare centres in the south-eastern suburbs told the Herald Sun the lyric was being changed because of concerns over the racial connotations of 'black,' and to reflect a multicultural community,” the Australian Herald Sun reported. Teachers also told the publication that one child care center considered changing the line “one for the little boy who lives down the lane” because it could be seen as sexist.
Politically-correct liberals who see racism in everything -- including peanut butter and jelly sandwiches -- may celebrate the change. But, the Herald Sun added, many others called it "political correctness gone mad."
“What ignorance," one reader told the Herald Sun. "The rhyme has nothing to do with race.”
“I am a person who has black skin," added another reader. "Can we please stop with the political correctness, it’s becoming a joke. The song is called baa baa black sheep. No need to change it!”
One reader sarcastically observed that members of the "bovine community" are "furious to hear about their associates being singled out. Various herds are gathering to show support for the poor sheep brigade. The Black Angus breed have had enough about the recent advertising push and want it stopped as they feel too many of their colleagues are being slaughtered for human consumption."

Hey, fella. You forgot (I check 3 times, hope I’m right) to mention the most RACISS of all, and it’s heard around the world, not just here.
It is the calling of OIL “BLACK GOLD”.
It should be on the list, I think.
If oil is worth it’s weight in GOLD, labeling it BLACK could well be a compliment.
I never heard the expression WHITE Gold.
The corsair is the only one of that era I would own if I had the loose cash to blow.
I saw an RC one at Hobby town for 300 or 400 bucks. Closest I’ll get.
The cows and the sheep are more intelligent than the liberals.
“Why is EVRYONE trying to sell or sue over Blackacre?”
Just be glad it they didn’t use the name from Rick Perry’s old hunting camp!
AAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!
why do liberals consider the word “black” to be evil....conservatives consider it a perfectly appropriate word in virtually every way it is used....I have a black car, does that make it bad???
Can white people still eat brownies?
I read about Nelson Mandela being called “the first African American President” of South Africa.
sheesh...in Spanish negro means black.
But a Mustang or Lightning would be awful tempting.
Dont know if anything will beat the newspaper article that called black South Africans “African American South Africans” even though they were native to S Africa and had never been to America.
Liberalism truly is a mental disease.
