Probably....yeah that Uncle and Auntie is linked to that slavery/ Jim Crow era naming. Same meaning as say calling an African American, "boy" 

I call my Aunts and Uncles Aunt and Uncle...pretty sure that isn't racist...I guess I don't understand how calling anything "Uncle" or "Aunt" that happens to be black is racist.

Dixie Chicks are up next.

Well they haven't been relevant in like more than a decade so they need to do something to get their name out there.

If players get upset at a coach for wearing a CNN or Fox shirt, then we can talk.....

1. I think you know they would have had a similar reaction if it was a Fox News shirt.

2. Until I see someone on get "cancelled" or a similar outrage for wearing an MSNBC shirt, which is very similar in its bias to OAN, then I will be right with you on this.

His comment about the Michelin man and Pillsbury Dough Boy being cancelled was rather funny.

THe story of Aunt Jemima is an American tale of overcoming racism and succeeding where failure was a stronger option.

Former slave that made it rich by a company owned by people that were slave owners.  I dont think her family minded being rich one bit.

Comparing OAN to CNN is just laugh out loud funny. 

It may be to you, but not necessarily to someone else.  Nothing to do with Gundy - that's a seperate issue.  But your statement is an opinion, nothing more.

Hey look we agree. CNN has no news value and propagates leftist propaganda all day. Stetler, Cuomo, and evening tapper are straight garbage. No worse than OAN, who unless Trump didn’t teeet, I’ve never heard of.

Also, somehow you forgot, S&L is never wrong. 

Snap, Crackle and Pop risking cancellation?

PS I'm not really worried about this happening. Just thought it was funny in the context of all that's happened.

You guys are SHOOK when someone comes to your weird board disagrees with you.

I'd like to clarify that I don't care what Quaker Oats does

I usually just ignore him

Perhaps it explains why the guy fought and ran? I didn't read that comment as excusing his killing, but I try to give people the benefit of the doubt most times.

This. Read Justin’s post I replied to. He said maybe the guy ran because he was in the mindset cops kill black people in a situation he could have just ended up going home. 
 

With his record and being on probation there wasn’t much of a chance of him going home. He was probably fighting and running to a void going back to jail for a probation violation.

They both lie and perpetuate bullshit. The only difference is one is part of the main stream with a large audience and a lot of money, while the other is just a little guy. So in that aspect the comparison is laughable, yes.  What CNN (throw in the majority of our mass consumed sources too, so you don’t cry about me picking on CNN) does is worse than OAN. There are so many examples it’s impossible to keep track of.

Lol, you guys are so rattled over someone disagreeing with you. And you call progressives the pansies!

Pot, meet kettle.

We are not that far away from it happening.  Drew Brees is getting dragged for his comments on how he feels about the flag and people here really think Gundy is only getting dragged because it’s an OAN shirt and not another right leaning media source LOL.

 Cops are twitchy for a reason. It’s a no win job. Who would ever want to do it? It’s a lose lose

I don't know much about OAN. I went to the website and read 5 random articles they had written (not Reuters or AP stuff) and found no commentary in any article. It was literally just the facts on that subject.

I went to CNN and the first article I read was littered with commentary.

This is anecdotal, I know. OAN might be shit. CNN is shit. And Brian Stelter is a human potato.

People debate when they disagree. Do you expect people to not defend their position? Not everyone defaults to calling people that disagree with them morons.

I'm still trying to find responses that seem SHOOK but I'm having trouble. Can't just be me, right?

Joe Exotic says "what?"

This whole deal is a bunch of triggered idiot bullshit. Chase the dog from Paw Patrol,, then Uncle Ben, then Quaker Oats, then Snap, Crackle & Pop..W-T-F? I'm sure when the marketing of these products started, their marketing departments said "we really need to be as racist as possible in our marketing!" Dumbasses.

And to show how pathetic these morons are, they wanted to euthanize the cartoon police dog (Chase) from Paw Patrol. Yeah, that won't traumatize any 5 year olds.

You realize that jmog called me the moron right? Lol. Because he disagreed with me? 

No one actually cares about Paw Patrol or wants to euthanize the dog. It's manufactured outrage. People making jokes on Twitter does not mean they actually give a shit about Chase. 

There's a big difference between that and Aunt Jemima. 

Word on Reddit is there’s a big protest planned for that shithole Bethel on Friday. Just reading the comments and seeing some of the footage of previous protests, this seems to be a formula for something bad happening.

Yes I understand that you and he have been going back and forth for a while in this thread.

Anyway, they threw the whole library at that Atlanta cop.

Audio & video didn't do him any favors.  He shouted "I got him!" and then kicked him.  Pretty much he completely lost it because the guy hit him a few times and stole his taser.

Oh, and one of his 3 shots ended-up in the fender of one of the cars in line.  So pretty much on top of everything else he fired his weapon when bystanders were at risk of catching a stray bullet.

Anyone still want to defend this guy?

Am I allowed to think he shouldn’t have killed the guy, but also not care that the guy died?
