If you drink your coffee with cream, you're probably a racist.

If you prefer white rice to brown or wild rice, you're probably a racist.

If you drink anything but chocolate milk, you're probably a racist.

Why is Captain Crunch an old white guy? How about the Rice Krispie kids? Why are they white boys? And the Quaker Oats guy is clearly racist.

See how stupid this gets?

Here is an idea the left will understand. “CANCEL” everything “Black”.

You can’t be accused of being “racist” if you never talk, see, print, acknowledge anything Black.

You can’t talk about “football” without Kaepernick, kneeling, not enough Black coaches, etc. So “CANCEL” football! I have.

You can’t talk about NASCAR without Blue Lives Matter cars vs banning Confederate flags, kneeling, so “CANCEL” NASCAR! I have.

You can’t talk about “Rap/Hip Hop” without saying/hearing “Nigga” and “Ho”, so “CANCEL” “Rap/Hip Hop” I have. (I never really listen to it, but so what, I’ve heard about it)

You can’t talk about/watch the news from main stream media without (if you are white) being accused of being racist so “CANCEL” the main stream media. I have. (including Fox News)

By doing this, you are actually “CANCELLING” liberal WHITE people. A YUGE bonus!

Tear down/deface statues, churches, police precincts, neighborhoods (their own), get my two favorite cop shows “cancelled” in a New York minute (Live PD and COPS), put hand cuffs and choke holds on POLICE, defund, disarm, eliminate the police, riot, loot, create anarchy.

In the aftermath, where will they be? Better off? SAFE? HAPPY? I think not.

I know I will be safe because I HAVE GUNS! I have LOTS of ammo.

When I was in grade school my best friend and I went out trick or treating as Aunt Jemima. We used burnt cork to make our faces black.

Okay since using black people for marketing is wasiss, let's just use white people for marketing from now on.

Problem solved.

“...So if it is sold with a plain label, should it be black print on a white background or white print on a black background...”

That’s an EASY one. “black print on a white background” you would save bigly on ink cartridges.

I used to think that banning menthol cigarettes would cause rioting in the black community.

If they were banned would anyone notice?

“burnt cork”

That what I used for T-or-T, as a soldier, in the 50s.

Removing the name of a well-regarded black lady from a popular product? What could be more racist?

It seems the answer to “racism” is, ironically, to remove any historical or social references to black characters in society.

Black people should realize - the Left and their social engineering intends to turn you completely into political and ideological robots for their benefit.

 

Exactly right. Take Song of the South for instance. It is filled with tremendous stories from Africa. The black history and culture that's in that movie is great!

Yet blacks and liberals want to ignore that great aspect of their African heritage. They also complain the black dialect in that movie was racist. That Uncle Remus spoke in a demeaning way. Yet the ghetto speak of many blacks today is not racist?

Puh-leaze.

I guess I'll start a food company with a space alien on the packaging, so I won't offend Peta, Black, Chinese, Pacific Islanders, Eskimos... 😋
