    Meh, just replace him with a heavy set white guy in southern clothing and be done with it. Then the term "Uncle" will symbolize a family relationship and no one can accuse them of racism.

    In addition to the Cornavirus, it seems tonight that Atlanta PD is having to deal with a bout of the blue flu.

    I wanted to see if anyone caught the historical reference/tie-in with Bill Robinson - at least somebody did! Also Bill Robinson was better IMHO.

    Getting it? Getting what? I don't want anything you've got. Your way of thinking is no better than mine or that of anyone else.

    Then people will complain because you're trying to show that only white people can have intact family relationships! :doh:
    Fuck it - no picture of anybody on the box. Or put a picture of me on the box (face heavily pixelated) getting pissed off because cooking brown rice in a pot on the stove takes too fucking long, and microwave rice is faster.

    I actually did not know that.

    I honestly would, if asked, have guessed that someone had a well dressed uncle called Ben who was an accomplished chef and named a food brand after him. Nothing about that brand had ever struck me as out of joint till now.

    yep! And if the allegations are true that Rolfe kicked Brooks after he was shot and on the ground? He's toast! That proves malice right there.
    That said the DA charging him with murder may very well backfire. He may be overcharging Rolfe, and should have pushed for manslaughter. All totaled Rolfe faces eleven (at last count) separate charges!
    Regardless if the prosecution fucks this up Rolfe could walk - and Atlanta could burn.

    Side note the DA is in the hot seat himself in matters unrelated to the Brooks shooting. It's a pretty closely followed story here in Georgia - lots of drama to play out in the next few months or so!

    They still make Cream Of Wheat? That used to be pretty popular back in the day, like Malto Meal. Anyway I don't know if this was ever considered offensive, but it seems strangely obvious to me:
    "ladies and gentlemen, I'm a cook" :unsure: No shit sherlock? Not a plumber, not an accountant, not a helicopter pilot? So you are actually authorized to make and use this sauce - and put your life in these bottles - carry on then good sir! :salute: Side note a lot of black guys look good in a cowboy hat - agree or disagree? I'm not a fashion expert, just my personal opinion.

    I'm finding that a tad insincere given the discussion over Rastus has been going on for decades now.

    NBC apparently stands for Never Bothered to learn how Commas work.

    a "tad insincere?" quite a bit of all this advertising hubbub is insincere IMHO. Companies are tripping over themselves to show how they are more "woke" than the other companies. If they don't they might be shamed out of business.

    Done with Taco Bell, I guess. Not because black lives don't matter, but because I hate this posturing, virtue signalling bullshit.

    Given your insistence on spreading disease where you walk, I am sure Taco Bell and their customers will be fine without the presence of this customer who, in all his actions, just happens to exactly conform to what a racist would do, but "not because black lives don't matter".

    It is a small consortium of "latin inspired" eateries that specialize in mixing the same 5 basic ingredients into a dozen different forms of diarrhea.
