I'd never even heard that anyone thought picnic was a racist word. It appears that Fort Lauderdale City Commissioner Robert McKinzie made the claim in 2019 before it was subsequently debunked by professors of language and African-American history. Yet another case of someone jumping to conclusions without all the facts. At least Cadbury's won't have have to change the name of their chocolate bar on the this side of the Atlantic!

If that's the way it is around HERE..... you can color me gone! I don't play to stupid BS games. The white race is in the cross hairs and set for extinction via genocide but no one cares! If it were blacks, Jews etc. oh no! but us....nah! It doesn't matter! Even white people! And that's the problem! How brainwashed and flat out stupid can people be.....? ....or should I say cowardly? It shows you how stupid people are! Here's something to blow away the B.S.! The word "picnic" does not have racist origins1234. The word "picnic" was originally a 17th Century French word, picque-nique, which meant a social gathering where each attendee brings a share of the food2. A popular but incorrect theory suggests that the word "picnic" has its roots in racism, referring to gatherings of people who watched public lynchings134. However, this theory is not supported by the word's etymology

That's true. Everything is racist. My niece (who is a person of color) works for a major university and was organizing a work related picnic and her boss told her the word picnic is racist and against university policy to use. I couldn't believe it but Googled it and found out she wasn't kidding. Speaking of violating policy, I'd better be careful. I think discussing the flag on the General is permitted but nothing else. I don't blame MM for that. These things can get ugly fast.

TDOH is the QUINTESSENTIAL TV show!!

OSAGE county!!

Well Cousins....it's the national holiday again...DOHD!! ( Dukes Of Hazzard Day....every Friday all day peaking at 7-8 PM Central time) ) and I'm enjoying an AB ( adult Beverage) and I'm about ready to watch TDOH, after the news! Are you guys enjoying the holiday too? What episode ( s) are you watching? I'll be on a little later and keep you up on what I'm specifically watching.....I know every one of you is anxiously waiting!! This is really important, o learn to enjoy life as you live it and for us, TDOH is a big part of that and our holiday helps to promote it!!

I wonder what they would do if you parked a General Lee in the driveway. They couldn't say it represented racism. The car represents The Dukes of Hazzard and there wasn't a single racist scene in 7 seasons.

Sounds like that place is being run by Boss Hogg or some third world dictator. I don't blame you for wanting out of there Spike.

I am sorry to hear all that, Spike. That is frustrating and annoying.

So yesterday got this ridiculous note on our door, everyone else in the complex did too, I figured we'd get something this week because the complex next door had a fire over the weekend. But imo this goes to far. There's a few people that feed the stray cats and some that put bird feeders up. So in the note it said unless those people stop they will be charged a pet fee. It doesn't end there either. Grille's are now basically banned, they didn't go so far as to say that but you have to have the grill 10 feet from any structure now instead of on your patio. In the building I live in that basically means grilling in the middle of the parking lot. Here's the best one... All curtains have to be white, any other color and you will get a lease violation fine. That's funny because I went through the last lease we signed in February and there's not a thing about only having white curtains. This note was the last straw for our next door neighbor, she told us last night that she's breaking her lease and moving out as soon as she finds another place to live as I'm sure several others are also contemplating it. I'm hoping my wife heals up fast and gets back to work so we can get the heck out of here too as this is the last straw for me too.

Good to hear from you again Spike. Thanks for updating us on your life. Too bad it's not all good news. I'll admit yer Uncle Jesse was gitting a bit worried about where you were.

That never stops people from crying " Racist!!". It's the Left wing's main Mantra!!
