When will the absurd virtue signaling end!!!

Ok now we are hearing that Uncle Ben’s Rice and Aunt Jemima syrup brands need to be pulled because the icons somehow represent white owned servants?
The marble statue of Christopher Columbus is scheduled to be removed from the Capitol Rotunda in Sacramento.
It’s been there since the 1800s and the building was erected over it. They will have to destroy it to remove it. How can these politicians just cave so quickly to placate the minority. I pray that the silent majority turns out in record fashion in November and turns the tide in Congress and in state offices nation wide so we can right this ship before she goes under for good.
Carpe Diem

When communist regimes begin their takeover, one of the first orders of business is to destroy everything of previous history, then rewrite the history to fit their narrative. Let that sink in a bit when you watch statues being desecrated and removed.

Our country was founded on many principals, one of the cornerstones is free speech. But yet now we have a political organization, with shadowy dark money, that is demanding (and getting) whatever they deem offensive removed, and also shaking companies down for contributions to their cause. Disagree, or even criticize them results in burning down property, or getting put out of business, or fired.

Folks, this is only the middle of June, this is going to get even wilder and crazier as summer continues.

I just read somewhere that the Aunt Jemima model was born as a slave in the late 1800s. She made a fortune as a model for the pancake company and used her wealth to promote her social causes. Reportedly died a rich woman at the age of 89. Her name was Mrs. Green. Neat story if it's true.

I read the same story.... she was a pioneer back in the time being black....she should be celebrated not erased

Yes, that was a Supreme Court decision. And it's relevant to this discussion how?

 

[Blueone]

This is a rare Aunt Jemima cookie jar that is three generations old.... My grandmother gave it to me when she passed on... When I was a little kid at my Grandma's house it was filled with the best cookies. It is proudly displayed in my kitchen today.... I guess I must be racist now

You're attempting to conflate and inject something into this thread that has nothing to do with the thread title or OP.

And no, I'm not going to "keep this going" as long as you keep demonstrating you have no knowledge of the thread subject.

Thanks for playing.

Making my only point on this. Nice talking points, but you clearly do not understand Citizens United, a case about free speech rights , vs. what dark money is.

If you want to discuss further make a post in the holding tank and we can discuss...

Clearly you do not understand Citizen's United. Dark money groups have infiltrated US elections to the tune of $1Billion since CU was enacted in 2010. These special interest groups of anonymous donors own the politicians and in effect, run the country.

This is funny.

People who have no first hand experience w Marxist dictatorship form of government defending its virtues or debating semantics.

Those of your who defend what’s happening should be the first ones to “donate” your boats to The People.
