In these times and the times that are to come, "answers" previously considered to be "unworkable" are going to have to be reconsidered and re-evaluated, because there will suddenly be no choice NOT to do so...

Some are listening. First comment out of the box:

Wow Damani, you are a relentless blowtorch of truth and common sense!  Love your material, and I have mad respect for you having the nads to seriously tell a whole lot of people who sorely need to be told. [end]

More importantly, blacks are beginning to listen. And that listening will only be enhanced when the voices speaking are black men and women who are unafraid that they will be attacked as Uncle Toms.

We’ve got to help blacks, not with welfare, special treatment or government programs—but by restoring black culture to its pre-Great Society status as intact families with strong fathers and mothers, as burgeoning entrepreneurs, as faith and community leaders who loved freedom and loved America.

Gang bangers and Colin Kaepernick need not apply.

Before all that crap in the 60s, this is the pattern of success that blacks were trying to follow in Southern Maryland. My friends related as much to me, and added in a hitch in the military to qualify for the GI Bill so they could go to college.

Who will benefit from this? It won't be thee or me.

Nor will it be the blacks,who will die like flies in the streets if they ever get the revolution they have been taught to believe they want,and the white man ever decides to start fighting back.

It will be a small group of people who we vaguely know as "international bankers". The people who are behind people like George Soros and giving him his marching orders,and pushing for a fascist world where THEY are the undisputed Masters of the Universe.

The question is who wants to develop what in the six block area in Seattle that is getting "occupied"?

Bill Gates. 

The irony of this is, one of the grievances of these children of the corn is the gentrification of the city.

There's a simple answer for that: simply have the chef convert to Islam:

Kareem of Wheat.  Problem solved.

So is it racist to have any kind of blacks as mascots? Won't that hurt certain black commercials actors and such?

Probably.  This stamping out of black icons is probably the silliest aspect of Only Black Lives Matter.

Eskimo Pie ice cream ditches 'derogatory' name as companies remove racially insensitive branding

“We have been reviewing our Eskimo Pie business for some time and will be changing the brand name and marketing.” Elizabell Marquez, head of marketing for Dreyer’s, told the Washington Examiner, adding that Dreyer's is “committed to being a part of the solution on racial equality, and recognize the term is derogatory.”

The term “Eskimo” is considered derogatory because it was given to the indigenous peoples of Alaska and Canada by non-Inuit people and was said to mean “eater of raw meat." The name, however, is thought to come from the French word "esquimaux," which means "one who nets snowshoes."

Until corporations and companies but an end to this utter insanity it won't stop.  Equal rights and all that I get it... but declaring everything and any white person as a racist is going beyond lunacy!

What about M&M's ... clearly the brown M&M was colored brown to be racist!

Great-grandson of Syracuse’s Aunt Jemima angry at her removal: ‘This is an injustice’
Updated 5:09 PM; Today 10:38 AM

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Aunt Jemima’s great-grandson is angry.

Larnell Evans Sr., the great-grandson of a Syracuse woman who played Aunt Jemima for nearly 20 years, tells Patch that he vehemently disagrees with Quaker Oats’ decision to change the logo and name on its Aunt Jemima products, including pancake mix and syrup.

“This is an injustice for me and my family. This is part of my history, sir,” Evans said Thursday. “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.”

Evans’ great-grandmother, Anna Short Harrington, portrayed Aunt Jemima from 1935 to 1954 after being discovered by Quaker Oats Company representatives while cooking pancakes at the 1935 New York State Fair. She was hired as an actress to dress up like Aunt Jemima and travel North America, serving pancakes and promoting the brand.

Harrington, who cooked for many fraternity houses at Syracuse University and is buried in Syracuse, was the third “Aunt Jemima.” Nancy Green, a former slave, originated the role with an apron and head scarf in 1893. ... More

@mountaineer

Being that stupid SHOULD hurt.

[mountaineer]

None of the women who portrayed the fictional "Aunt Jemima" suffered. None was enslaved. All were compensated. The original AJ - a former slave - even had a lifetime contract to play the part.

Oh, the humanity. A white American corporation giving a good job to a former slave and to other black women. How cruel.

Political correctness will be imposed at the cost of anyone's heritage or history. And what ever the new brand is, it isn't coming in my door.
