Land O' Lakes Indian Girl, Uncle Ben, and Aunt Jemima have an opinion about that, but they've been disappeared because woke.

Probably less exploitative than when people couldn't vote.
Is it? I would argue the way they've been tricked into voting for a single party for 50 years while seeing no actual benefits is pretty exploitative.

Really? You're saying having no rights is less exploitative than ice cream using black brands and iconography to encourage people to vote?

No. I'm saying that constantly being manipulated into only voting one way for 50 years to such an extent that an old white man in 2020 can say such an insanely racist thing and face zero consequences is proof that their freedom to vote hasn't been very "free".

Democrats don't like it when you say things like, "Ok, fine, Reagan fucked mental health care in this country. Fine. We've had a few democrat presidents and senate majorities since then, if it was such a travesty, why didn't it get fixed then?"

To be fair, neither party likes it when you point to moments they held the Presidency and the Senate or when you point to their stronghold states, which are usually quite flawed or complete hellholes.

If Democrats actually did the things they say they want to do, we'd never have another republican politician elected ever again.

Comments are exclusively people asking how this isn't racist. What could possibly be racist about trying to get people to buy only from restaurants owned by people with a specific skin color?

So once we bring in culture, everything is racist? That's dumb.

There is no bigger joke of an organization than the Anti-Defamation League.

BTW, for another story today I searched "criminals in the NHL" and Google's top 3 suggestions to complete the search were variation of "how many black people are".

Google is racist as shit.

Random thought:

If putting "people of color" in roles that were traditionally and conically white people were about anything but marketing and pandering, even when it doesn't make sense, then Wakanda would have random white people here and there in the tribal scenes.

White teacher tells students that his race is the best.
A middle school teacher in Pflugerville, Texas, has been fired, district officials said Monday, after video was posted to social media showing the White teacher tell his students his race “is the superior one.”

“Last Friday, Nov. 11, Pflugerville ISD officials were made aware of an inappropriate conversation a teacher at Bohls Middle School had with students during an advisory class,” Pflugerville Independent School District (PfISD) Superintendent Dr. Douglas Killian wrote in a statement. “As of Monday morning, Nov. 14, the teacher in question is no longer employed by Pflugerville ISD and we are actively looking for a replacement,” the statement said.

Videos of the conversation in question were posted to social media last week.

In one video, the teacher can be seen saying to his multi-racial class, “Deep down in my heart, I’m ethnocentric, which means I think my race is the superior one,” as students audibly react both on- and off-camera.

I always wonder about stories like that. We KNOW there are people stupid enough to believe such things. We also KNOW there are people willing to say such things, although fewer in number. I mean, even if you believe it, you should be smart enough to know what happens if you say it publicly.

However, was it taken out of context? Was it a stunt of some sort? Like the rumors that the transgender shop teacher with the MASSIVE fake tits is supposed someone making a point about how dumb this all is...?
