It’s over. It’s getting to the point now If you were born white in Dixie you’re born a racist. I’ve always known Dixie to be the 11 Confederate States in the South. Changing the name of the beer is offensive to Dixie beer drinkers like myself. I’ll never drink another Dixie or whatever name she chooses to call it.

Yes. But that’s about how I feel. I’ve been getting texts about this stuff now from many people of all walks. Renaming everything offensive to someone it’s even more absurd. But that’s where we headed. It only widens the division IMO.
And, the madness continues:

And, how as a child I loved going to dinner at my grandmother’s house since dessert for the kids was always an Eskimo Pie.

Van Halen legend David Lee Roth announces he’s changed his name. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/25/ ... -his-name/
Sign of the times, David Lee Roth has removed "Lee" from his name. And, he will now be known simply as "El Roth."

While we're tidying things up, I think the name 'ShowMe' has unacceptable sexual connotations and should be changed to 'MayILookPlease'
We all knew this one was coming:

Logical all around. LSU poll showed 70% of people in state did not want NOLA statues brought down. IT never made it to a city wide vote on a ballot. Just done. Now the fate of 41-43 city streets in NOLA will be left to the PC whimsy of our city council. We can guess how that will turn out already.

The USA is the most racist country since inception and placing the blame on the 5 year existence of the CSA will not extinguish that fact. Fredrick Douglas knew this as fact.Their were Southern Nationalists who were abolitionists but needed to establish the CSA as an actual country first by defeating the North. 4 slave states stayed in the Union. Delaware was the last state to abolish slavery.
Sad thing that 150 years after the War really no one has given blacks a break and just see their color. 1960's were the worst sins perpetuated against blacks in the South, but even that should have been blamed on the USA not doing anything to right the injustices between 1865-1960. This was never really "On the south's shoulders" to carry a majority of blame over this long a time span. All major "race riots" were in cities located outside the 11 Confederates States.

I guess electing a two term African American president didn’t give them a break either. Oh well. I guess its more important to correct some point in history that happened over 150 years ago then anything else.swampnik wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 1:49 pm The USA is the most racist country since inception and placing the blame on the 5 year existence of the CSA will not extinguish that fact.

When the black community decides to acknowledge that an illegitimacy rate in mid-high 70% is the real cause of their poverty, crime rate, lack of education, etc., then I will take their "leaders" seriously. It's got nothing to do with statues, bells, flags, pull ropes, "racism" or any of that other crap. Don't demand help from others until you commit to getting your own house in order.
