Systemic racism - a phrase that is used every day on the news.  In a condensed definition it means racism that is part of a system that is both taught, implied and repeated.  By watching everything th

All jokes aside, they updated Aunt Jemima’s image a few years ago. She looked less like “Mammy” (I don’t know nothin’ bout birthin’ no babies, Miss Scarlett!) and more like a black mom from the Brady Bunch. My guess is that the people complaining probably haven’t looked at the packaging lately. 
 

It’s also important to note that “Mammy” was played by an accomplished actress who earned an academy award for her work in that classic. First Oscar for an African American, btw. 
 

This is the hidden content, please

The amazing part is that ol’ racist show is getting canned at the same time people are complaining that not enough black people get Oscars... so they cancel the movie that resulted in the first Oscar for a POC. 

It’s surreal.

I think the birthing babies scene was Prissy,  Butterfly McQueen, not McDaniel.

You’re probably right ... it’s been a while since I’ve watched it. 
 

All jokes aside, we watched it in public school. They warned us about the language.... Rhett said “d@mn,” lol. 
 

We also read Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn... can you imagine the poop storm if they got kids to read those novels instead of the transgender-indoctrination crap they spoonfeed the kids these days? It’s another illustration of how far we’ve already come, but at the same time these kids are convinced that we’re living in the most oppressed environmental in history.

"We must reject the idea that every time a law is broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that every individual is accountable for his own actions"  

-- Ronald Reagan

Of course that is diametrically opposed to the popular narrative that every person unlucky enough to be born with white skin is a hood wearing hard core racist, and that every black person is an eternal victim of the white man no matter how many advantages they have in life and how much government support they get.

Good Reagan quote.

Do any of you remember his farewell address? I distinctly remember him warning the nation that we need to be teaching the love for our country and love for freedom. He was afraid what only teaching the bad would do to us as a nation...and look what's happened.

      NIH Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”!

      By Reagan · Posted

      In a video released Monday, Raja Cholan, a top official at the U.S. National Library of Medicine under the NIH, admitted to an undercover OMG operative he doubts jab efficacy and hasn’t “gotten the latest COVID shots and I’m not going to.”  “I PROBABLY SHOULDN’T BE SAYING THIS OUT LOUD;” Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”. "I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID. They don’t.” Adds, "We're all going to learn [about vaccine safety] when it's too late," as Pfizer & Moderna "are just getting a bunch of money… Vaccines were accelerated through the approval.” ‘We fly under the radar of being scrutinized…I don't think I have too much to worry about.’ Trump victory “worse for the NIH.” “It would be better for a Democrat to be in office.” WOW!!!!

      Newsom Proof

      The same reason you worry about Trump more than anything else. Why do trolls like yourself start threads like your Soros hedge fund thread and you never come back to…..just bait. Newsom might make a run for president in 2028. People need to know about his policies. You don’t think that’s important?

      Newton vs Daingerfield

      By Newtonres75-86 · Posted

      I like Newton’s chances here. I’ve watched  videos of Daingerfield what few I could get. Their big Qb scares me a little he looks Ike a good athlete. I think for a change Newton has a little more speed than the Tigers. That Samuel kid for Newton can move., and it goes without saying about Porter. That Hunter kid ain’t bad either. They scared me to death with their pass defense against Edgewood until I saw the video. That Qb for Edgewood can put it on a dime. And, his receivers could catch it. I’m pumped; this is the most fun time of the year for me. Go Eagles.🦅 I have to add this though. I watched the State game between the tigers and Yoe in 2010. Those guys looked like grown men playing as opposed to kids now a days who look like boys.😂 that was a heck of a good game.
