When cancel culture comes home to roost

My casual drinking is your alcohol poisoning.
Although the proposed resolution will never pass the house, it could be approved overwhelmingly in the Senate. If it were to receive much mainstream publicity, it could also see more public support. However, the mainstream media, as the PR arm of the DNC, will simply ignore the story and focus on fake news and revisionist history.

In that vein, the Democrat party name should absolutely be changed and anything associated with the former moniker should be stricken from history. In the interest of expediency, they should immediately adopt an "interim" name. Something completely unaffiliated with anything at all, such as "The Other Party," until such time that an appropriate permanent name can be vetted and implemented.
This is probably more of the Republicans trying to dirty-up the Dems' name.
Way ahead of it's time, back in the 80's there was a Denny's type of chain called Sambo's. Founded by two guys named Sam and Bo. One fine day they were protested into oblivion.
There is local Mexican food chain owned by Mexicans. Their logo is a smiling, fat Mexican guy in a sombrero. How long before the PC folks find them and picket?
Sambo's restaurant, as you stated, was named after the owners. (It once had over 1100 locations!) Its demise, however, was the result of their marketing plan and restaurant decor, modeled after the children's book, "Little Black Sambo," which was perceived to have racist connotations.
The irony is that in the book, Little Black Sambo is portrayed as a clever boy who outsmarts a pack of hungry tigers, pits them against each other, and ultimately gets the last laugh. It's a metaphor for overcoming bullying, a cause that the left so adamantly claims to support.
So the guy that made a successful business from selling fried chicken OUT OF HIS CAR represents white privilege? I did not know that…
And the Democrats???
Meet the new Party of Slavery, same as the old Party of Slavery
Well - he did drive a *white* Cadillac and wore a *white* suit so if you don't see the racism there that just shows you're a racist - pretty-simply to see
It's powerful strike?
It's serrated teeth?
Of it's subtle racism?
As heard on America has Talent (back before it sucked)
BTW, Sambo's first ran into trouble over a series of deliberate snubs of black Americans about 36 years ago. They tried to cope by changing their name to Seasons, but the damage had been done.
Slavery has existed for thousands of years up until the last 200 or so (depending on where you lived). Economies depended on slave labor. You could not be successful if you did not use slave labor because everyone else did and you would not be able to overcome that disadvantage. That was just how the world worked back then. So now we are vilifying people from hundreds or even thousands of years ago for doing what was normal accepted practice in their time.
Animal labor (plowing, pulling wagons, driving turnstiles, carrying riders, etc.) has existed for thousands of years and only been replaced by mechanization in the last 0 to 100 years (depending on where you lived). Economies depended on animal labor. You could not be successful if you did not use animal labor because everyone else did and you would not be able to overcome that disadvantage. That was just how the world worked back then. So now we have PETA and other animal rights groups fighting against animal labor, but it has mostly died out of its own accord. But for animal labor, why are we NOT vilifying people from hundred or even thousands of years ago for doing what was normal accepted practice in their time?
The speaker also pointed out you can make a similar comparison to dirty, polluting petroleum fueled vehicles. In 100 years are the leaders of the 20th century going to be vilified for basing an economy on fossil fuels that destroyed the environment?
