^ quite idiotic.
Do they really think the far right will stop being racist if they rename monuments, brands and street signs?

Yeah that's not any more likely than the far left will stop trying to turn us into a Peoples Republic if we de-fund our police departments. If anything I would think that forcibly destroying a monument to someones ancestors will generate more hatred than take it away.

I have always preferred Uncle Ben's rice... well from the day I moved to my own.
Additionally I have always seen his face as something positiv I have never seen it as something negative/racist. Markus |

I never understood why anyone would use it as rice is not hard to make. Maybe I'm just remembering the "converted" rice my mom used to buy.

Yep, we've done it! Congratulations, everyone! Now, when our impressionable children go to the store with us, they will be safe - because all they will see is the Pillsbury dough boy, the Lucky Charms leprechaun, Cap'n Crunch, the Keebler elf ...
Yep ... Nuthin' but white mascots ... ... Wait ...

This makes me think of the years I spent being called 'Jam' because my surname is Robertson and I had red hair...
