Speaking of the Tuohys, if Michael Ohr HAD been adopted - which he allegedly claims he though he was - wouldn’t he have gotten their last name??

I would think Tuohy would have carried a lot more clout than the name of a crack addicted mother/ unavailable father.

So, how could he have not known????

I don’t get it.

Also, I thought it was a thread about Chris Cristie.

Well then... It’s obviously offensive to racoon’s and coonhound’s too.

In a society of utter wokeness, do they not also have feelings?

>You have to watch the video. ‘Coongrats’ I guess is the offending ‘slur’. <

The agitator-in-chief here is anti-racism campaigner Dr. Stephen Hagan.

Speaking of thin ice, having two anti-women slurs in ones name doesn’t give the doctor much room to be critical of others.

BTW- He’s the same kind of doctor as Dr. Jill.

Okay, I watched the video. Well, a few seconds anyway.
At one point there are two doughnuts in place of the letter ‘O’ and it says ‘C🍩🍩NGRATS!’...
I think it offended the PETA people.... 🦝

It’s like nobody read the article. That said, it’s still stupid that people were offended. As one poster at the site said, are they making record companies apologize for all the offensive lyrics in rap?

Selective outrage. So don’t care.

That's it? With a war going on, more on the way, and we can't even pay the interest on our debts without raising the debt limit, and this is what we're supposed to be worried about?

See my tagline.

“Krispy Kreme” spelled with Ks like the KKK.

Like most people, I have never met a white supremacist, but I bet they like donuts.

Oh for the love of Christ, get over yourselves…. Those “offended” need to be told to pound sand.

Only folks who are going to be offended by this are people just looking to be offended
