I can assure you they do not take kindly to that sort of thing.
Do not take kindly to what?

Mark my words, anything and everything "Dixie" is a short timer.

Can you speculate what might be next?

The "Jolly Green Giant" taken down for discrimination against people who aren't Green, or are "height challenged"? What about meat eaters who might complain he only represents vegetables?

Or maybe Log Cabin syrup will 86 the cabin due to discrimination of brick and mortar buildings? Or being mainly built throughout history by pioneering homesteading people of colder climate caucasian ancestry?

Good Grief and a Half....

Yes, pure madness.


Now, if a manufacture changes the name, I will no longer buy the product.

Those who are acting 'offended' are Leftist loons seeking 'oppressed masses' where there are none.

They must be out spray painting the Alaska Air jets

Hmm.



Native Americans, a group that has been truly treated badly, probably could care less about an ice cream sandwich.
