Red Indian ice cream at Jonesville business called 'blatantly racist'

JONESVILLE, MI - A Red Indian ice cream flavor, marketed specially last week at a Jonesville restaurant, has roiled some and sparked a slew of sometimes vicious social media remarks.

"If you look at all the major Native organizations, using redskin to describe Indians is frowned upon at the very least, and it is considered blatantly racist and hurtful," Natasha Crall of Hillsdale said on Saturday.

Fried chicken, collard greens, blackeyed peas and watermeleon are blatantly racist, too.

Give them 10% of the profits and see if it still offends them.

This place is only 15 mi. from my house, and I pass it at least once a week.

The owner said they have sold ‘Red Indian’ ice cream for 50 years and will continue selling it until he retires.

I really doubt neither he, or his customers, give a crap what liberal puke snowflakes think or say.

If one was searching for the most conservative spot in the entire state of Michigan, you have found ground zero!

To make that one even worse, search on youtube for land o lake butter tricks (no quotes), and see all the adolescent suggestions that come back.

Years ago it was common to see articles speculating about the changes we would see in our society and culture as modern technology and machinery relieved people of drudgery and afforded them more free time.

Most of the ideas had to do with leisure, entertainment and constructive activities - more hobbies, travel, vacation, charitable work, etc.

But now we know the ugly truth.

They meddle in the lives of others, become whining pickers of nits, stir up troubles where non existed before, and become destructive instead of constructive.

Ah, yes. I’ll make a trip over this weekend for a few cones. Excellent ice cream in all flavors. Can Crall prove her ancestry?

Have they called India and told them to change the name of their Country yet?

This is a chronic problem with the secular left. It doesn’t know how far is seemly. Yes we DO have problems with genuine racist bigoted putdowns. That’s a finger in the eye to God. No, not every figurative reference to a race is a putdown. I’ll believe that the secular left has embraced this the moment it deems “That’s mighty white of you” to be verboten. I have never seen that.

I grew up in Michigan. Nearly EVERYTHING is named after some Indian tribe or leader.

Pontiac - Cadillac - you name it.

So, some want any reference to any Indian to be removed, whether it is American or not?

Isn't that reverse racism?

I doubt that Crall can she is even American, much less Injun.

My wife and I stop there all the time. She’s a “Cowabunga” freak and I prefer the chocolate almond, but next time, it’s Redskin for me!
