Rightist. The most tolerant people in society -- by threat of violence.

It's interesting they also wanted to be sued for defamation on top of wrongful termination... Notice the time stamp of the panicked tweet.

REMOVE ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE!!!!

After Thursday's cancellation of Aunt Jemima, I'm learning all sorts of things about my breakfast food I didn't know. Like how this "racist imagery" is actually based on a real person, who, over a century later, a corporation decides, in the name of virtual-signaling, to cancel, just so everyone leaves them alone. I asked yesterday if this empty symbolism actually impresses anyone, and I found someone who most definitely is not impressed: Aunt Jemima's great-grandson Larnell Evans Sr.
"This is an injustice for me and my family. This is part of my history, sir," Larnell Evans Sr. told me. "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."

"She worked for that Quaker Oats for 20 years. She traveled all the way around the United States and Canada making pancakes as Aunt Jemima for them," he said. "This woman served all those people, and it was after slavery. She worked as Aunt Jemima. That was her job. … How do you think I feel as a black man sitting here telling you about my family history they're trying to erase?"

"Famous Amos Cookies about to be renamed Famous Cookies to remove racist imagery used for selling products."

" ..using likenesses of black people to sell products to white people is oppressive to our entire culture."

Meh, I won't believe in their convictions until they call for the removal of Air Jordan sneakers and Tiger Wood golf clubs too.

race baiting:



Detectives with the sheriff's Major Crimes Unit were tracking a man who was wanted for kidnapping, spousal assault and assault with a deadly weapon but when they tried to stop his car, he opened the door and began shooting, authorities said.

Are you familiar with Wonko the Sane, who lived outside of the asylum in the book So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish?
