So now they are removing black characters, but I thought they wanted more blacks in media and press, so somehow removing them is now the inclusive thing to do? Hahahahahahaha what fucking idiotsa.

You're assuming there's something logical about this stuff. Nothing could be further from the truth.
 
Semi-related: I read recently that Land o' Lakes butter is ditching the picture of Elizabeth Warren in their logo.
 
I wonder how long it takes until White Christmas is not allowed to be played...
 
I’m figuring the Washington Redskins will be forced to change their name soon.

Yes, I know, but that was some Meetoo thing if I remember right... Not like one of the best selling, most listened to songs ever, and it is only about snow
 
I still remember these restaurants. :flipoff2:

Going on the other end of the spectrum, I wonder if they will get rid of Mr. Clean for his skin-head, white supremacist look.... :stirthepot:

It's racist so we are going to remove black references and replace them with white people or what?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_ten-dollar_note

"The current $10 note is purple, and the obverse features a portrait of Viola Desmond, a Black Nova Scotian businesswoman who challenged racial segregation at a film theatre in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, in 1946. The background of the portrait is a colourful rendition of the street grid of Halifax, Nova Scotia, including the waterfront, Citadel and Gottingen Street, where Desmond's Studio of Beauty Culture was located. Foil features on the note face include both the Flag and Coat of Arms of Canada. This is the first Canadian banknote to feature neither a prime minister nor a royal in its solo portrait, and the first to feature a solo female Canadian other than Queen Elizabeth II"

Listening to Denver news it is interesting, how places like Stapleton is being changed because of his possiable ties to the clan. That is just the begining of the changes the mob is screaming for. Witch hunters much hunt

‘It Hurts’: Great-Grandson Angered Aunt Jemima’s Legacy Will Be Erased

Earlier this week, Quaker Oats announced that they will be rebranding and removing the name and imagery of their Aunt Jemima brand goods as to apparently not perpetuate “racial stereotypes.”

“We recognize Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype,” said a statement from Kristin Kroepfl, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Quaker Foods North America. “While work has been done over the years to update the brand in a manner intended to be appropriate and respectful, we realize those changes are not enough.”

“We acknowledge the brand has not progressed enough to appropriately reflect the confidence, warmth and dignity that we would like it to stand for today,” Kroepfl added. “We are starting by removing the image and changing the name. We will continue the conversation by gathering diverse perspectives from both our organization and the Black community to further evolve the brand and make it one everyone can be proud to have in their pantry.”

Though the move was apparently made by Quaker Oats to be racially sensitive, Larnell Evans Sr., a great-grandson of “Aunt Jemima,” is not pleased at all with the erasure of his great-grandmother’s legacy.

“This is an injustice for me and my family,” Evans, 66, told Patch reporter Mark Konkol. “This is part of my history, sir. The racism they talk about, using images from slavery, that comes from the other side — white people. This company profits off images of our slavery. And their answer is to erase my great-grandmother’s history. A black female. … It hurts.”

"First they came for _____, but I wasn't _____ so I didn't stand up....."

I have a feeling this isn't going to stop, it's going to get so nutty. I can't wait for the pendulum to peek and start swinging the other way back to sanity... just don't know how far out the peek is, haha!
