There is a warrant out for the dumbass in the confederate flag bandana that sucker punched the one dude in the back of the head.

Comparing OAN to CNN is just laugh out loud funny.

LOL, I figured that had to be a parody, but I wasn't sure until he mentioned washing down his dry-ass pancakes with hyrdoxycholoroquine every morning.

What was the point of him saying he had a record  and knew he was going to jail? Serious question. You didn’t say it but what did u insinuate?

He was contradicting the earlier statement that he didn't know he was going to jail or there was a chance he wasn't going to jail as "not all arrests go to jail".

He even quoted the post he was referring to if I remember right. So he was saying that the man KNEW he would go to jail BECAUSE he had a record and was just only let out on probation due to COVID-19. 

That's all he was saying, he never insinuated he deserved to die due to having a record. So, like I said, and SnL proved me right, only a moron would believe that he meant he deserved to die because he had a record.

He was just pointing out that the man knew he would go to jail as a counter point to the earlier post that not all those who are arrested go to jail.

If you look for racism in everything, you're probably going to find it, even if it doesn't exist.

100% fact.

Why not just address the douche who’s come back and fought with literally every member on the site.

Yeah, sorry for calling someone a moron because they were acting like a moron. I can honestly say I don't think I have called anyone on this site a moron other than SnL. 

I will stop however, just for justin's sanity.

Don't forget Gundy almost got cancelled for wearing a news network t-shirt (albeit a dumb one that Trump loves to tweet about and is 100% biased right). 2020 is really stupid, and you still have these hippy clowns causing havoc in Seattle and Portland (Paris and London too). A little glimpse into the future if we continue to let people who feel entitled get their way. They stopped having anything to do with Floyd  about 2 weeks ago. 

To be fair, OAN is no more biased than MSNBC is on the other side. Fox is like CNN and OAN is like MSNBC. 

I would love to see if anyone ever has got "cancelled" for wearing an MSNBC shirt...

I'd like to clarify that I don't care what Quaker Oats does, but I find it nothing more than corporate virtue signaling. 

Aunt Jemima is based off a very awful stereotype and Minstrel show type. It needs to go. I am also shocked it lasted this long.   It is not virtue signaling. It is something they should have ton years ago. 

I'll add if anyone does get the chance to see the African American museum in DC, the Minstrel show portion of the museum is pretty damning and whoa. 

The UVA one does seem like a stretch. But, sure. 

 

 

 

 

 

To be honest, until today when I heard about Aunt Jemima I didn't know anything about the background of the caricature. Once I did a little research on where the caricature came from, I agree, it should have been gone awhile ago.

Plus, Mrs. Butterworth's is way better anyway.

And the UVA thing is utterly stupid.

Lol, you guys are so rattled over someone disagreeing with you. And you call progressives the pansies!

Probably....yeah that Uncle and Auntie is linked to that slavery/ Jim Crow era naming. Same meaning as say calling an African American, "boy" 

I call my Aunts and Uncles Aunt and Uncle...pretty sure that isn't racist...I guess I don't understand how calling anything "Uncle" or "Aunt" that happens to be black is racist.

Dixie Chicks are up next.

Well they haven't been relevant in like more than a decade so they need to do something to get their name out there.

If players get upset at a coach for wearing a CNN or Fox shirt, then we can talk.....

1. I think you know they would have had a similar reaction if it was a Fox News shirt.

2. Until I see someone on get "cancelled" or a similar outrage for wearing an MSNBC shirt, which is very similar in its bias to OAN, then I will be right with you on this.

His comment about the Michelin man and Pillsbury Dough Boy being cancelled was rather funny.

THe story of Aunt Jemima is an American tale of overcoming racism and succeeding where failure was a stronger option.

Former slave that made it rich by a company owned by people that were slave owners.  I dont think her family minded being rich one bit.

It may be to you, but not necessarily to someone else.  Nothing to do with Gundy - that's a seperate issue.  But your statement is an opinion, nothing more.

Hey look we agree. CNN has no news value and propagates leftist propaganda all day. Stetler, Cuomo, and evening tapper are straight garbage. No worse than OAN, who unless Trump didn’t teeet, I’ve never heard of.

Also, somehow you forgot, S&L is never wrong. 

Snap, Crackle and Pop risking cancellation?

PS I'm not really worried about this happening. Just thought it was funny in the context of all that's happened.

You guys are SHOOK when someone comes to your weird board disagrees with you.
