When I read the link, I literally yawned. (Just more of the same, blah-blah-blah.)

Sad that it has come to this, that reading such articles doesn't even make me more than just the tiniest bit annoyed -- that it has, for me, just turned into a "So what else is new?" kind of response.

P.S. But what is so bad about "brown bag lunch"? Are people going to start protesting against saying brown sugar or black pepper? So is describing any brown or black products by their color now going to be considered racist?

First they came for my master bedroom, then they came for my brown bag lunch...

Sit back and watch the human race commit suicide.

I kind of thought the sport team name Nashville Predators is a bit off. I mean would you want to be called a predator in your personal life? Its shows strength and courage but it can also mean someone sinister.

Like the NBC crime show " to catch a predator".

This type of nonsense is mostly taking place in America -- it's what happens when leftist "progressives" infiltrate a society and begin taking it apart bit by bit (with foreign help from China and Russia).

But you understand that their mascot is most likely represents a animal, not a criminal, but I do understand your point.

Tucker was talking about this last night. It shouldn't be just another woketard story. They are not to consider white men in hiring decisions. At some point lawsuits will have to start being filed for discrimination against white males.

At one time there were nightclubs nicknamed “brown bag” clubs. These were businesses owned by black men. They were called brown bag clubs because the doorman had a brown paper bag to use as a skin tone test. If you were darker than the bag then you couldn’t get in through the front door. You could work there but you couldn’t be a guest at the club except under special circumstances.

Sports team names are supposed to be intimidating.

That's why they're not called the Nashville Nanny's.


Yet.
