So we now have red meat and ? meat. If you go to food serving facilities no more chicken breasts, no more pork, the other white meat, and no more fish. And we will die sooner.

White meat contains large amounts of protein. And the health effects that correlate with white meat consumption have been studied as compared to red meat and vegetarian diets. There is a decreased incidence of stroke. There is no association with obesity or insulin resistance. White meat appears to have a neutral or favorable effect on blood coagulation profiles.

We’re all going to die and the pigs and chickens will have to deal with the fish for control of the planet. Sounds just like Animal Farm.

I raise Treeing Walker Coon Hounds. What should I call them? The dogs ARE black & white and tan. They don't have a racist bone in their bodies. ;)

“I find the name “Whitefish” to be objectionable and racist.”

Same as blackball, black eye, blackout. Are they going to be changed to get rid of, bruise, and power outage? One of them slopes again. People are getting too dramatized.

“Named him Sean Coonery.”

Love it! Our raccoons are, ‘Jennifer Cooniston’ and ‘George Cooney.’ ‘Rocket’ passed away from old age last year. :(

Lost Coon Lake, citing coon’s use as an offensive slur for African-Americans. And that name, according to court filings, was a “compromise” solution after an initiative began in the 1980s to rename what was then (N-Word) Lake.

Hmm...well this may actually be a legitimate need for a name change...if this is true...it may actually have been named this as a racial slur.

Can't assume they are all bogus.

[Republican Wildcat]

Oh, I remember that one...LOL. They wanted to change it to “Fish Save” New York.

Well, you know, a good Irish friend of mine discussing Covid recently said to me, ”Don’t be ashamed to wear a mask. Some people wear USC shirts .”

I was going to say that this has to be satire, but apparently not. Also another story at that site about a long-term care center in Whitefish that has had an increase in COVID-19 illnesses and deaths, so it appears that this is an area run by doltish progressives.

[Veto!]

White fish are inherently racist. Gotta ban them altogether.

[Iscool]

They blew it...They could have named it Lost Goon Lake and been proud of it...

[Rebelbase]

The article isn’t about renaming Whitefish.

[Honorary Serb]

It IS about renaming the “City of Whitefish”—which is named after the fish!

Haw-haw!!!!

[Rebelbase]

Nope.

“The residents of a Whitefish neighborhood surrounding a pleasant lake with a racist name filed documents in Flathead County District Court earlier this month to officially rename it Lost Loon Lake.”

[Jamestown1630]

I think that when someone actually translated it for them, their nutsy response was something like, ‘Whatever; it sounds violent.’

[Impala64ssa]

None taken, I hear you. I remember when the Stones hired the Hell’s Angels as security at the infamous Altamont concert. They, along with the Grateful Dead had a large following among the bikers. Nothing like pissing off a YYUUGGE part of your fan base because of TDS.

[Lazamataz]

Spodabee named Nagger Lake.

[LateBoomer]

Absolutely! To a hammer, everything looks like a nail. To a racist, every word and action reeks of racism. Even if you have to look for it with a microscope.

[Deplorable American1776]

Those people are LOONY! 😋
