    The absolute worst racial lyrics I've ever heard are in the song "I'm Black" from the musical movie "Hair".

    I won't try to import that song to this Forum...it's just too disgusting, and it's performed by a group of blacks in the movie cast.

    If started with politico correctness and the race thing was dragged in. As you can see by my avatar half of my family is black my grandmother on my wife side could have posed for aunt Jemima. This whole racism is politico and pushed into important by politico because it can be used. My children attend a school and they are the only white children there and there is no problem. Aunt Jemima on a bottle of syrup has been no problem for over 100 years what has changed. Politico

    A little too much black in there and maybe way too much white denoting so much privilege. How about rainbow colored??? Yeah, rainbows and lollipops and balloons! Can’t have too many uh.....nope. Too gay. Red, White and.....nope. Too patriotic. Heck.......I dunno.
    How about sticking with the packaging the way it is and let folks just get over it!!

    I do like that much better being the oppressed from one side and privileged on the other side (it’s so confusing) almost white male that I most certainly am. That said, in order to be perfectly PC I would much prefer, lest I should have a liberal hissy fit, that they call Caucasians “tinted” or “shaded” or in my case, speckled.

    If that happens then maybe I might look at being a liberal a little more closely.

    I just read This opinion on Twitter, and I totally agree.

    Democrats are big antifa supporters, so there is this possibility of a label that would meet with their approval......

    Hmmm... I had aunts and uncles, and never considered it that way. I guess you have to be a liberal to find racism in everything.

    my Uncle Art was actually my uncle, but kids who weren't related to him referred to him as Uncle Art because he would collect old bicycle parts and build bicycles for any kid who needed one. He was also the guy who kids would go to for help in building a go-kart or using a discarded washing machine motor to convert a bicycle into a motorbike. He wasn't black. But then, we weren't Democrats either.
