It never ceases to amaze how dense some supppsedly smart people are. Having said that, I've already had 2 watermelons this season and they were as good as any I had all of last year. _ Why do you hate the coloreds? |

To be fair Jetrepulsion hasn't logged in yet, Bond is banned and Stokes was 50/50. Bx is correct. All precincts have not reported yet. And this includes more than Jetsrepulsion. JetRepulsion? Since when have I ever been for racist imagery? I think that went way too far and would in no way defend it. Ever. I did have a confederate flag in my room when I was 8, but that was because I loved the Dukes of Hazard, not because I disliked black people. Some feel the Aunt Jemima logo is racist. I don't, but I'm not the someone who would be offended by it. It is my absolute favoritest syrup in America. |

Did you word this clumsily or do you think there are posters here who would? Seems provocative, perhaps you didnt mean to be. To be fair Jetrepulsion hasn't logged in yet, Bond is banned and Stokes was 50/50. Scan the board!! Already weighed in on the idiocy. Why do the coloreds get watermelon. It's my favorite fruit. I It'd be like giving the Nazi's schnitzel. (Btw, Porgy thinks I'm racist so I'm just keeping up appearances). _ |

Ok....defend this....
The owner of Dixie Services, an Idaho-based contracting company, is defending its logo of a cartoon black girl eating watermelon amid criticism that it’s racist.
Jim Valentine told local ABC affiliate KXLY that the image fits well with his company, which he said represents the good times for many people in the 19th-century South.
The image, which is posted on the side of the company’s trucks, depicts a dark-skinned African girl grinning and holding up a large slice of watermelon — a racist caricature also known as the “pickaninny.”
“I was looking at it saying, ‘Is it the watermelon? Is it her hair?’” Mr. Valentine said. “And I know why they don’t like it. It’s ‘cause she’s smiling and a very happy child like a lot of children were in the 1800s.”
Dixie Services also posts Confederate flags on the front of its trucks, which Mr. Valentine described as historical, not racist.
“This kind of hatred thing that’s been built up around the Confederate flag, there’s a lot of goodness and happiness and it’s a part of history and a part of heritage, so we put the name on our company,” he told KXLY.

Doesn't Stokes have a little Sicilian in him? Pretty much makes it impossible for him to be a racist.
