I've always preferred Bisquick anyway. And what "she" calls syrup shouldn't be called syrup.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I didn't know elves were multi-cultural.

Apparently Uncle Ben's Rice is being changed as well. Today's society is just too hypersensitive. Before you know it, presidents who were slave overs will be removed from money!
Said a white guy in a town with no black people.

Seriously, who here really cares if corporate brand wake up to decades of insulting icons.

I do, I think that everything with roots in racist undertones needs to be striped from the culture.

I can't understand why anyone should care.

Germany doesn't have corporate mascots that echo Nazis.

The question you should ask yourself is whether most people outside your bubble (and it’s not a big bubble) know it’s even a racist symbol or know what it means. At a certain point if nobody knows what it means or views it as racist your argument loses its punch.

We absolutely are not diverse, but we we are very concerned about respecting everyone.

I guess the work that is happening now is quite important then. You seem to get defensive about issues of diversity and wider appreciation for all cultures in The United States. I am merely looking at the landscape and increasingly become aware of things that really offend people in our country.

That's pretty damn easy living in Traverse City. How many times in the last month have you had someone walk up to you on the street and say, "Give me a dollar muther fucker?" It happened to me last month in New Center. There was indeed a lesson in respect given that day. I'm sure he'll remember it for a while.

My little town is dramatically more diverse than TC and we all get along with "no diversity council".

So, Swiss cheese, French fries and Chinese food have to go.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

Don't forget about the White House. That's clearly racist.
