Lots of canceling and "rebranding" going on today. Where will it all stop?

They've been busy canceling lots of brand names, logos, and mascots that feature minorities.

Babylon Bee satirizes this movement here:

NOTE: SATIRE WARNING!!!

Activists Fight Racism By Driving All People Of Color Out Of Pop Culture

"Anywhere we see a person of color, we see racism. So we must end racism by making sure people of color are not depicted anywhere," said white liberal activist Petunia Faucett. "We will not rest until all pop culture icons of color are eliminated. Then, racism will be over."

"When only white people are shown as mascots, cartoon characters, and brand logos, we will have truly arrived at our diverse, racism-free future."

END SATIRE WARNING!!!

But the cancelers actually go after white people too. I think Colonel Sanders is next.

The cancelers told us statues of Confederate Generals must go, not because they defended slavery, but because they were "traitorous losers"

Now they've turned their wrath to some former Presidents, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, because they were former slave owners. Their statues have been toppled and defaced. They even attack Lincoln, not sure what that's about.

The New York City Council is calling for the removal of a Thomas Jefferson statue.

I wonder if they realize who their city and state were named in honor of? The Duke of York, later King of England who while a Duke founded the Royal African Company, a British slave-trading monopoly, which shipped more African slaves to the Americas than any other institution in the history of the Atlantic slave trade. You'd think they'd start with this guy instead of Jefferson, who only owned a few slaves. Oh well, I'm sure they'll get to it shortly.

Oops! Bye Bye New Yorkers, not sure what your new name will be but hope for the best.

Same thing goes for Yale University, named for a guy who owned slaves. That Yale diploma is worthless now pal, so sorry.

The list goes on and on, I've just scratched the surface of potential targets for cancellation.

I don't see it ever ending personally. The nut cases have normalcy on the run.

I don't know when or where it ends but I am over hearing it and seeing it in everything we come in contact.

What's next changing city names? State names?

Where was all this effort 30 days ago?

Special interest and political power mongering at it's worst.

The tail is wagging the dog big time.

The silent majority is.....still silent!!

Yes we'll have to rename the capital and Washington state. Plus the 1000s of schools named after former slave owners. Washington could go with CHAZ. Not sure what would be appropriate for the capital. Maybe Woketopolis.

Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut got to go. Using native American words is cultural appropriation.

More states with Native American names and words, might as well rename everything.

I also heard that all the roads, highways, freeways, etc will have to be redone. Every single one of them in the whole country. Apparently they will be changed to the color orange. Hence, no more blacktop, now it will be carrot top until the redheads (which I’m one) complain. JUST JOKING!!!

And the white and yellow lines. What's up with that?

[Aloha1]

It's the French Revolution redux. Robespierre and the Committee For Public Safety. The Guillotine and Madam Le Farge. After they went after the "elite", they went after their own. We all know how that ended..Napoleon.

We may not have to change all the state names based on Native American names, some of the tribes are okay with it. Same goes for team names and mascots.

But I think if one person feels denigrated or if a professor writes a paper on how it's racist, then it's got to go.

Just 1? Out of how many? The entire population?

This whole thing is getting out of hand

Politically Correct has become Historically ignorant . Regardless of political party, you need leaders with a backbone, not spineless cowards that cowtow to every interest group.

It doesn't take much. People get canceled and lose jobs because of Halloween costumes they wore in high scool.
