Not to get off-topic, but I also just heard a commercial, for some kind of face-cream, for removing blackheads----it was called "Black Off" (or, "Black Away", or something like that)! ! How long do ya think THAT'll last, before someone calls-for IT to be banned?? LOLOLOL TOO funny!!

And don't forget Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben products.Surely those will be seen as some sort of oppression...

You should have a better comeback than that.Weak,weak.Doubt you'd want a statue of a person that enslaved your folks around.You'd shoot the head off it one night.
They have already redone Aunt Jemima.You must not buy that product or you'd know the chubby lady with the doo-rag on her head has been gone a very long time.Uncle Ben looks like a distinguished chef,no reason to get upset over that.They have also removed the Black lady from the front of Plantation Blackstrap molasses.

Alto the red flag in their logo stands for communism, most of them are anarchists. That is what the black flag is referring to.

I've lived in Little Rock,Memphis and on the LA/Ar border and I can guarantee you most Black folk are not like him.

Well apparently they havent updated thier website yet because that woman is still black, which implies (in the minds of some) that all blacks are good for is making pancakes for white people...........at least thats what it would mean to a liberal looking for trouble to make out of nothing.

I don't know of any other Aunt Jemima but that one. But then again I only buy real maple syrup and Aunt Jemima is just sweetened corn syrup.

I will deal with it.Next election.
Aunt Jemima is still Black,but now she looks like the average middle class house wife.
I'll one up you on the syrup, going to tap my own this spring.There is a "sugar bench" on my hill.

You can't distract us. We know this is all a diversion. You're just clearing the ground to make way for your real plan -- for every city in the whole country.

A Godzilla statue would actually be pretty right-wing if you think about it.
After all, Godzilla is supposed to allegorically represent the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
In other words, Godzilla was secretly a patriotic American this whole time.

Mothra isn't as right-wing as King Ghidorah.

Ghidorah is from Mars. Mars is the manliest of all the planets because men are from Mars. When Ghidorah wants to invade another planet, he just does so. Ghidorah also doesn't care about the" rights" of puny humans. Real men know that only three-headed dragons have rights.
Ghidorah also stole Mars from its original inhabitants. The original Martians were uncivilized barbarians. They deserved worse.
Hey! Liberals! If humans are so smart, why do they have only one head? You can't explain that.

The economy at the time will be the determining factor and that's assuming the democrats can prop someone up worthy of consideration. If he/she is too much of a dolt they'll leave Trump in place since he'll be a known commodity.

I've never paid much mind to either.

/\Many things can go wrong before the next election.Time will tell.
Maple sugaring is time consuming,but I won't have anything else to do.The trees are here,I have the equipment,so why not?As soon as the leaves turn this fall,I will start flagging the trees and trimming trails to them.Nice time to be in the woods after the seed ticks have settled.
The old timers used to do it every year.Now people are lazy and buy Aunt Jemima.Its a tradition here that should be kept alive.

Good grief----don't be so dramatic!!
I've held my tongue, for a lonnnnng time, now, regarding your posts, cuz I respect you----but, I can hold it, no longer.....
A Confederate memorial ALSO commemorates BLACK people who fought/died in the Civil War----it's bad enough, when some black people don't know that; but, when some white people, don't know it----ESPECIALLY one who currently lives-in a state that seceded, and was a Confederate state.....
There's NO black person, alive, TODAY, who can be "reminded" of "a whip across the back", cuz no black person, alive, today, has ever experienced that, in the way you're meaning (a black slave, being whipped). How can a person be "reminded" of something, that never happened, to THEM??
Black people aren't the ONLY ones, who have a rough history, and a history that includes the Confederacy. As I've said, before, I'm part Indian (Native American)----and, NOT several generations-back, either (my maternal grandmother stepped right off the reservation, and right up to the altar, to marry my grandfather)----and, my people saw just as much slaughter, slavery, and death from horrible diseases, as black people, did----PLUS, we were already HERE, and our homes / land were taken, from us----but, you don't hear US whinin', to the extent of the tree-huggin'/statue-removal people.
So, if NAs can let things go, and not whine about it, so can anybody else!! If there are blacks who can walk-by Confederate statues, everyday, and not give birth to kittens, each time, then so can other black people----besides, like I said, I doubt most people, no.1, even look-up to see who/what a statue is, because we have too many other things, on our mind; and, no.2, I doubt most people even knew who/what they were (even if they DID look-up), before people started raisin' all this fuss, about them.
Again, one group's rights should NOT be taken-away, so another group can have THEIR rights!! People who keep doin' all these shenanigans, and refuse to be civil, and consider EVERYBODY'S right, risk having those rights taken-away, from EVERYBODY----INCLUDING the people doin' the shenanigans; but, they're too emotional, to see that logic.
