Well, this is what you end up with.
It is a terrible and awesome thing when a man sets out to create all other men in his own image. Such became the goal and all consuming ambition of Karl Marx. Not that he would have made each man equal to himself; in fact, it was quite the contrary. The image he hoped to construct was a great human colossus with Karl Marx as the brain and builder and all other men serving him as the ears and eyes, feet and hands, mouth and gullet. […]

… (Marx) visualized a regimented breed of Pavlovian men whose minds could be triggered into immediate action by signals from their masters. He wanted a race of men who would no longer depend upon free will, ethics, morals or conscience for guidance. Perhaps, without quite realizing it, Marx was setting out to create a race of human beings conditioned to think like criminals.

Producing such a race had been the dream of power-hungry men for more than 4,000 years. Nimrod had projected the design, Plato polished it, Saint-Simon sublimated it — now Marx materialized it.

Today this breed of criminally-conditioned man walks the earth in sufficient numbers to conquer countries or continents, to change laws and boundaries, to decree war or peace. …

The Naked Communist, Introduction
That was published back in 1958, so imagine how much more numerous such “criminally-conditioned” people are today.

White leftists: ‘We are fully behind black people’s rights! We just don’t want to see them anywhere!’

Who was the Gov official that said this week “America invented slavery”? excuse me We and Britain ended it.

Pick up a history book and stop telling lies to whip up the people.

Ayn Rand had a key antagonist say this in Atlas Shrugged, published in 1957. She escaped from a communist country so she knew the truth.

"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them...you create a nation of lawbreakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Rearden."

Just wish they would remove pictures of any/all black presidents from the White House.

Dr. Ferris sounds just like O’Brien in Nineteen Eighty-Four. The former said:
We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick and you’d better get wise to it.
And the latter said:
The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others. We are interested solely in power: not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness; just power, pure power. What pure power means you will learn presently.

We are different from all the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.

Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?
I believe that all such socialist leaders indeed think exactly like Ferris and O’Brien, though. It’s the same way of thinking that comes from Satan.

I loved the scene in the Sopranos where Tony saw a box of uncle Ben’s rice amid his daughter dating a black guy and passed out with a panic attack. Lol.

the weird thing about cancelling ALL ethnic references in branding, is that leaves nothing but Caucasians as models ...

if this had been done in the 1960’s it would have rightfully been decried as racist ...

Don’t you know? Columbus killed a crap load of native Americans. At least that’s what the revised history says.

Hey, it’s blacks who want segregated college dorms, etc. I say, give them what they want. They want a country with no police force? Let’s send them there. That would be a good reparation.

I wonder how blacks would feel if they made Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima and Mrs. Butterworth white persons, after all these years being black. Now THAT should make them upset, if you ask me.

On my countertop I have a huge glass canister of black rice.
I mean, the rice itself is black.
Is that racist?
Should I throw it out? d”:^)

"It is interesting how were erasing blacks from packaging, but leaving behind Hispanics, Asian, whites.

No doubt this will soon be realized and addressed.
"

Maybe they'll be replaced with images of popular celebrities like Cardi B. ;D
