I really don't know what the big deal is with Quaker Oats changing the look of their packaging. Quaker made a business decision and they are following thru. It'll be interesting to see how they sell the Aunt Jemima product line going forward. It would seem that they can't just drop the image yet keep the name.

If Trump wasn't such a tone deaf empty suit he would go to Tulsa tomorrow and tour the site of the Black Wall Street massacre. At the end of the tour he would lay a wreath in remembrance of those who suffered and died on that dreadful day and then announce that he will sign into law legislation that would make Juneteenth a National holiday. Some view this as more pandering but I think Trump, a Republican, signing into law a holiday that enshrines the Emancipation Proclamation that was made by Lincoln, the original Republican, would be almost poetic during this troubled time. It would also honor and remind people of the soldiers who fought and died to preserve the Union while crushing that peculiar institution, slavery. Democrats would hate this.
At the very least I hope Trump says something about Black Wall Street and the massacre that occurred there. But he will no doubt prattle on about building big beautiful walls and how great the economy will be "soon" (where have I heard that crap word before) and give shout outs to the military and cops...you know the script.
If you don't know anything about the Black Wall Street massacre, 60 Minutes had a segment on it last Sunday. It's worth the 15 minutes to watch.

When Trump won the election, the most surprised person in the USA was Donald J. Trump. Then he hired Ivanka and Jared and things went downhill from there. He filled his administration with people that were against his agenda from the start later claiming he wanted a "team of rivals" just like Lincoln. I didn't vote for him (or Clinton either. First Presidential I sat out since 1984), but when he won I thought he had a crack at being a great President. Build the wall, crack down on immigration, get tough on China, and blah, blah, blah. Donald Trump is just a bull shit artist. But, I think Trump will win again because the Dems pandering to everyone the last few weeks has left a really bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths.
On a side note, I see the videos of Biden giving "speeches" or whatever they are supposed to be. He keeps looking to the left and right like any good speaker will. When I see these videos I can't help but think of the video of Michael Avenatti (remember that guy?) giving a press conference. I couldn't find a longer version.

I'm okay with the demise of Aunt Jemima as long as they keep selling the delicious CORN SYRUP, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, WATER, CELLULOSE GUM, CARAMEL COLOR, SALT, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, SODIUM BENZOATE AND SORBIC ACID (PRESERVATIVES), SODIUM HEXAMETAPHOSPHATE inside the bottle. Makes one's mouth water.

“White Privilege”
by minimus inlately that’s all i’ve been hearing about!
i’m sick and tired of listening to white people begging for forgiveness simply because they are white.
in a nearby town, a six year old girl asked her mom, “ why don’t we have a black lives matter march here?

ExJws Should Know Better Than To Just Accept Things And Follow The Leader
by minimus ini would think that exjws would exercise more critical thinking than not.
now we are thrust in this “ world” and take sides on social issues and politics.. just because our government leaders say something it doesn’t mean it’s right.
just because the majority of the news media tells us how we should think, it doesn’t mean we have to follow.

Critical thinking is a skill and like any other skill it needs to be learned. The last place one learns about critical thinking is in a Kingdom Hall. When someone leaves the jw church the ability to think critically doesn't automatically manifest itself. Keep in mind that the first step of critical thinking is to ask questions. If someone has spent 20, 30, 40 or more years in jw land, where asking questions is pretty much forbidden, learning that vital first step will take some time.

Removing Historic Monuments and Statues - Does the Term "Historical" Make it Right or Wrong?
by RubaDub inafter further review and thought, i really don't see how removing a monument or statue that may be truly offensive to a large group of people is in some way rewriting history.. i think of germany or other parts of europe.
you don't see swastikas on buildings or statues of hitler or mussolini or other upper level generals in public.
would it be good for a person (think jewish) to drive around a city and see hitler in a public park, even though it is "historical?

If people are okay with American mobs tearing down statues they don't like, I would assume they are okay with the Taliban blowing up statues the Taliban didn't like.

Nancy Pelosi wants all the Confederate statues removed from the Capitol. I can't say I blame her given that the Confederacy is rooted in the Democratic Party. Who would want a bunch of statues around to remind people of that fact?

I saw that Frozen. It was comedy to me. We are living in some alt reality of the onion.
Comedy?!? Surely you jest! Nothing screams sincerity more than seeing highly trained Actors read stuff aloud from a tele-prompter.

Actually Robert E Lee had a strong opinion regarding Civil War monuments. He said, “I think it wiser not to keep open the sores of war, but to follow the examples of those nations who endeavoured to obliterate the marks of civil strife and to commit to oblivion the feelings it has engendered.”
