Red Mosquito

The list-making has begun.

I am once again asking RM to take its white fragility and paranoia to any one of your safe space threads.

Man... imagine putting any other color in there but "white". Racism is real.

I put in for another job. I'll probably lose out to a black person. Mostly because I suck.

Some of these things could be tragic if they weren't so inconsequential.

Is there any racist cereal guys? Capn Crunch probably has a shady past

"trix are for kids"??? hmm....

Cookie crisp seems to have them all beat.

I imagine black people get pretty fucking sick of shit like Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben's and Confederate statues and rebel flags and buildings named for slave holders and buildings named for confederate heroes and jokes about watermelon and Gone with the Wind and being called a thug and Jesus, I don't even know what else a black person puts up with everyday.

PepsiCo wants to do one little thing that sheds light on all the bullshit? Only a dick would have a problem with it.

The Three Stooges portray white people to be complete morons, yet I have no problem with them

I don't think anyone has a problem with it but it is pretty trivial

Yeah I honestly don't care. Get rid of/change everything. But I also think people are being too sensitive.

lol I don't want to dig into this at all

I have no problem with getting rid of Aunt Jemima and the like.. whatever people feel upset or sensitive about is their business

How many different types of white people were portrayed on TV at the time? Hundreds?

How many different types of black people are portrayed at the grocery store? 2 mammies, a rice farmer, and 3 pit masters? How many of those are owned by corporations and how many black people sit on the boards of those corporations?

Quakers tended to be vocal abolitionists. Or rather, many of the vocal abolitionists were Quakers.
