I was planning on going to the last Sambo’s in Santa Barbara on my way to visit my F-I-L in Solvang later this year.
Now that they caved to the BLM Terrorists and are changing the name of the Restaurant my plans will change.
Is samba racist? I think adidas has a soccer shoe by that name, they need to just call it SOCCER SHOE.
if Anderson’s Pea Soup is still in Buellton (Santa Maria/Santa Barbara)
you may enjoy it
It’s only just beginning. They want to destroy America’s History, as commies/socialists/fascists always do. They’re worse than the Taliban and ISIS.

Gender confusion?

I just ate a few of those!
Back during the sixties a bunch of children's books were rewritten. They were cut down to twenty chapters from twenty five, the vocabulary was dumbed down, plots were simplified and all non-white reoccurring supporting characters were removed to prevent any possible charges of "racism".
Then the books were attacked for not being diverse.
To quote a Greek male slave who's work probably is not taught any more, "If you try to please everybody you end up pleasing nobody."
The world knew her as "Aunt Jemima," but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story. She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY... and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark. Green was 56-yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes... and became an immediate star. She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel were assigned to keep the crowds moving. Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid. Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for folks in Chicago. She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89. Nancy Green was a remarkable woman... and has just been ERASED by politically correct bedwetters.
It apparently goes deeper than that.
Since at least the late 1970s (when my mom and aunt first encountered them at an auction) it seems that some black persons (not likely many) were actively tracking down and buying black memorabilia, even the Brownies Books (published by that terrible racist W.E.B. duBois), in order to destroy them. These would not be things made by white people to sell to white people but things sold by and bought by black persons.
The apparent goal is to erase memory of a history and a black culture that offended them.
But THAT black culture was one that didn’t go about with its hands out, that often faced real prejudice, even occasionally faced as late as 1921 angry white Democrats burning down their communities. It was not a culture of 1970s race radicals (who had started burning down their own communities), never mind one from the 21st century that faces so little oppression (basically none at all) that they’ve got time to be oppressed by street names and statues.
Bedwetters is a good description of people whose main social talent seems to be the ability to be offended by proxy.
I call them socioempaths ... people who are not actually empathic like in SciFi but who presumptively assume that they can feel what others must feel, that it is their social prerogative to do so. But like sociopaths there is a distorted and defective psychology at work where the socioempaths are collectively terrified of not being politically correct enough. Thus they virtue signal endlessly, not just to attack whatever they imagine should offend them but to try to keep other socioempaths from turning on them. Essentially: “look at me, I’m a good person! (Don’t hurt me!)”
But of course that is a mindless process that can only result in the PC becoming ever weirder and more distorted, ever vulnerable to manipulation from whatever can abuse rhetoric to gain power over them.
The socioempaths are self oppressing people who seek to oppress anything not sufficiently like them. They are the consummate spectacular achievement of the Cultural Marxists, people unable to sustain a civilization.
Or: if you try not to offend anybody you end up forgetting everything.
Famed Segregationist Senator Albert Gore Sr. (D-Hell) had a Black Maid that lived with the Family.
When they took road trips, they made her wait in the Car while they ate in White Only Restaurants.
Her grand niece was horrified and wanted to burn them because "they are racist." I pointed out that they were made by black women for their children. She could not believe it and told me that no black woman would make such a thing.
I told her that I would take them along with the quilts. I did not want them but they are a part of history. Gave them to a lady I know who collects fabric art.
