Proof please?

Seems to be an epidemic of that stuff on here recently. Had words put in my mouth as well.

Don't think it was by the same person

There's a great explanation of this from this long-bearded southern-accented redneck guy.

You can see it here: Let's talk about Splash Mountain and Princess and the Frog.... - YouTube

So far I've disagreed only occasionally with his ideas and thoughts about things.

It wasn't by the same person. But it'd really help if people learned how to multi-quote and how to correctly quote. There's an actual multi-quote button you can use to quote someone who is quoting someone else. That can clear up a LOT of misunderstandings on this forum.

I don't know why it isn't used more often.

I do however, disagree on one major point you've made.

That being..."To walk a mile in another mans shoes, sounds good but is not often possible."

While I, of course, agree in the literal sense...I disagree in a general sense.

Where I believe we diverge, is in that as reasonable people, we can/should at least make an effort...to think about what it would be like in someone else's shoes.

I also firmly believe, that if more people would just try and make that effort...our divided world would close measurably.

Seeing things through other people's eyes, allows us to view those items/issues that WE maybe don't believe should be such a big deal...why they ARE a big deal to others.

While the history or connotations aren't even in the same universe, much less category, I think we can agree that a box of 'saltine/white crackers' that showed a stereotype of a poor white person (with raggedy clothes/confederate flag/a trailer/truck on blocks/cig hanging from lips)...would be offensive to a lot of people.

And rightfully so.

Again, I thank you for your thoughtful/respectful post and the desire...to find some common ground to work from.

Bye bye Cracker Barrel

I am NOT on board with all this new branding. This has gone too far............

On a very happy note saw Aunt Jemima this morning at Walmart and she looked very happy sitting on the shelves knowing her pancake flour and syrup would be making a lot of people very happy.

We could call it the multiracial castle or the castle that everyone is invited to so that noone feels excluded.

Since they just destroyed their brand, I'm guessing their sales will decrease significantly.

Go woke, go broke.

Could be their sales have been decreasing so this is an effort to sell more stuff while appealing to the mob.
