Detox's political thread

Nancy Green, (aka Aunt Jemima) was born into slavery. She was a magnificent cook. When she was 'freed' she rolled her talent into a cooking brand that GM bought & used her likeness.  She died in 1923 as one of America's first black millionaires.

Today, she was cancelled by Democrats. 

Tnere are questions that are unanswerable. My dad's favorite was..........

"Did you ever stop beating your wife, yes or no."

Of course if you answer yes you are admitting to being a former wife beater, and

If you answer no, you are admitting to being a current, perhaps chronic, wife beater.

The problem with this forum is that if you back or favor or allow for a Democratic point of view you are immediately a socialist Hillary lover, and if you back a Trump or Republican point of view you are a narcissistic, ego driven racist pig. There really is very little open minded discussion or debate here, and that is reflective of today's partisan politics. You have to be all the way right or all the way left in this forum. That is not a sign of loyalty to one or the other belief system, it is a sign of rampant intolerance. 

I'm not racist ..and I can prove I'm not a racist.. I grew up in a small town in the Mid-West ( polulation 10,000) I lived with Blacks,,,we had a couple black families living there and they didn't give anyone any trouble...sorta kept to themseves.. In fact not a white person, in that whole town could be considered racist..nothing to be racist about ..since the blacks there didn't bother nobody....Yes sirree Bob..that proves I'm not a racist.....

These companies aren't racist and they are going to prove it.. .this will prove,that they are not racist..lol

Land O’Lakes announced earlier this year that it would no longer use the Native American woman who had graced its packages of butter, cheese and other products since the late 1920s...she was "Hot" only reason I bought the brand..

Quaker Oats announced it is retiring the 131-year-old Aunt Jemima brand, saying the company recognizes the character’s origins are “based on a racial stereotype.”

Uncle Ben’s brand of rice says the brand will “evolve” in response to concerns about racial stereotyping.

Serena’s husband quit and gave his job to a black dude 

That will be me after crypto go boom boom 

Uncle Ben's: "We want to evolve our brand." Gives Uncle Ben cornrolls.

Uncle Ben's: "Ok...Ok... We missed the mark on this evolution thing. We're gonna try again." Makes Uncle Ben a white guy. Black people (not me) lose their shit.

This rush to prove you're not racist (not talking about you, tox) is insane. Mike Gundy caught flack for wearing a freakin' OAN shirt.

I heard about this a couple of weeks ago. The world is losing it's collective minds.

Cop in Atlanta charged with murder? 

Cops reportedly turning in their cars, badges and guns. 

This should end well. 

BREAKING 

Many Atlanta police officers from zones 3,4,5,6,&7 are walking off the job, not answering phones, and turning in keys & quitting

eMail quote:

"The county can go screw themselves. If you want a society without police we’ll give you one. Let it burn!"

They turned the water tankers around and the helicopters had to drop the water near nolanville or they wouldn't have the fuel to make it to Killeen.

Report: All of Atlanta’s cops for the evening shift zone 3, 4 and 6 walked off tonight’s shift 

You gotta wonder where it leads. I would bet millions of times in over 100 years the wife would yell "pick up pancake syrup" as her husband went out the door to the super market, and when he got there he would grab a bottle of Aunt Jemima's, It was on the table when he was a boy and a teenager and has been on the table every time for years that his wife did the majority of the shopping. No thought, no racism, just a brand we are used to and like. 

Pardon the political incorrectness. I suppose it should be a person yelling at another person, since hinting that in some homes the (w-person) does the majority of the shopping and the (h-person) is merely a dolt that needs detailed instructions is faux pas.

Cyber technology can archive threads like this for 100 years and our great-great-great grandchildren will have an enormous laugh or enormous cry as they sift through the ashes of our society.

Bisquick pancake mix is better and I use real maple syrup but Aunt Jemima always comes through in a pinch. When I was a kid we used it without a second thought. Even into young adulthood, not necessarily for mix (Bisquick!) but for syrup it was always Aunt Jemima or Mrs. Buttersworth. I've never one heard somebody say, "Yo, i'm really offended by these pancakes!" I mean what white ultra liberal or uppity arsed Harward black person came up with this bull crap?

Out East... it's Log Cabin original maple syrup or nothing..........A family tradition since 1887

I don't think any American family of any color ever gave a sh/t about the design of the label. Folks have a traditional or preferred brand and it ain't the label selling the product. Mrs. Butterworths and Log Cabin are excellent family traditional products, and I confess myself, I have gone over to real maple syrup (real butter as well). jm2c

Who in their right mind would want to go into law enforcement starting today over the next 5 years? We are soon to be facing a critical shortage of law enforcement personnel nationwide as the resignations continue to pour in. 

I can't blame the Atlanta cops for walking out. Cops don't make great money, risk their lives every day to protect US ALL, and for all that they are branded as an enemy of the people. It's disheartening and sad. 

Log Cabin syrup is to thin. Aunt Jamima will be missed...that was one thick tasty maple.

Last statement first: Aunt Jemima is maple-flavored, not real Vermont Maple Syrup. The price, as well as the label tells you that.

As for who would want to go into law enforcement the next 5 years that is easy. Any young, black person with a criminal justice degree or experience in Military Police. Rapid advancement and career stability would be almost guaranteed. Disciplinary actions would be almost non-existent, no matter how many times you shot someone, black or white. Other, lesser, disciplinary actions would be handled with a wink and a nod. In ten years 50% of them would be watch commanders, and in twenty years at least 20% of them would be chiefs. The rest would slide into a nice retirement system with no financial concerns. Sounds pretty good to me.

Log cabin's legit and they make a pure maple line. When you become an uppity negruh like myself you only but the primo. I turn my nose up if it's not in a glass bottle.

Good for them.  This country has gone bonkers and losing its moral compass over a false BLM pretense.    Maybe the people of ATL (and all our cities) will realize again that   the police are a force for for good, defending law and order.  

Detox.. don't take offense to it.  It simply suggests they don't have a response to your argument,  and is an effective means of shutting down any debate.  It immediately puts you on the defensive that you're not racist and changes the discussion completely. 

The left excels at deflection, and your experience is Exhibit A 

I give the citizens of Atlanta 36 hours, tops, before they are begging for cops to return.

Wow. Yeah. I’d have to agree. Haven’t seen the news. But if this is true — that’s a bad sign. 

Quinnipiac poll 

77 percent approve of the way police in their community are doing their jobs while 19 percent disapprove

The DA in Atlanta should be removed from office immediately. Cooperative he says? Peaceful and calm he says? Many say he should have been given a ride home???? WTF is going on in this country????

No way on God's green earth is this cop convicted without jury tampering if it gets that far. When the DA is fired all charges should be dropped.
