Probably not because he is offensive to midgets:crankey:




They prefer the term "little people", which sounds kind of condescending in a pat them on the head type of way, but that's what they want. My facebook friend has a midget kid and I signed their petition to get rename the junior league hockey we call "midget hockey" in Canada. Peter Dinklage mentioned their struggle on Twitter. I'm sure they care more about the fight to have everything in the world reachable to them than what people call a hockey league, but every little bit helps, baby steps. 
Its kind of weird how people cling to this shit as "tradition". For instance you wouldn't call a guy in a wheelchair a cripple, even though 50 years ago that was the normal term. Shit changes its time to move on.

Way back when like 15 and dumb kids
was talking to my then girlfriend about my lack of artistic skill
and said "I am drawing a pony for my friend, but I can't draw, so I am just drawing a little horse"
and, a skilled artist who could draw such distinctions spat back at me
"What!?!? a pony isn't a horse!  that's like saying a midget is a person!"
then went beet red as soon as she realized how it had came out

:rofl:

What is racist about it? It's just a black lady.




Its probably because she represents an old stereotype of older Black Women and how they look. Kinda like how Speedy Gonzalas is a stereotype of Mexican people. Similar sorta thing.

Farewell Aunt Jemima. Your fake maple syrup has done its job slathering our pancakes with sweet, gooey liquid :sadyes:



She's 50s house wife trope only black.

Which in appearance is not dissimilar to country grandma stereotype. Only difference is skin color.

So I wonder if thinking country 50s black housewife is offensive but country 50s white housewife is not is itself racist or sexiest... Or some shit.


Idk I don't really like any of it and never have.

Just like grandma used to make is salt in my wounds of being raised under an alcoholic grandma that couldn't cook. Or drive a car. Or hold a job. Ya know living up to all the shitty parts of gender roles and none of the good ones.

My grandma didn't cook shit dude. Not even meth.

It's more like...as a woman...you pretty much kind of disappear after a certain age. That's the pervasive feeling. Like when you're not sexy anymore all you can do is just go be old and take care of other people.

Really kind of sucks. And you are aware of it and feel it from a very young age, so it can make the whole process of adulthood after 25 particularly depressing.


Anyway, I know black people too :elmo: And they think all kinds of different things about a very large issue, because they're people and that's what people do :elmo::elmo:





That's such bullshit though, not to say that in an offensive way PB. I'm 30 yo man, and no woman of any old age is invisible to me, i will still greet and smile to them with respect as i would for anyone. Actually if a sexy 25 year old chick has a piece of shit rotten personality, she is invisible to me.



It's a media issue more than a real life social circle issue.

Media including news, tv, movies, ect, all the way down to coloring book and poems.


And the media issue is a habit from the remains of real life social issues. Gender roles.

It's only slowly growing out of that. More slowly than society has. Because lazy. Because safe investment.


I'd sooner see a wider interpretation of black women on tv than on fucking food labels.

In reality I was just saying that we probably have some very very different experiences based solely on our genders, and different perspectives that are not only worth bringing up but probably something that more people should talk about in general.





I have this theory, because I've met some really tough women, who seemingly have no problem correcting the behavior of dumbasses. And I've also seen some tough women effortlessley stomp on dudes heads when they tried some non consensual sexual shit.

Women have so frequently been led down a path to vulnerability since childhood. In the form of pollypocket, barbie and flowery fluffy pinkness and "everything is just a fluffy pretty reality"

In adulthood, they take for granted all the work they do in the form of makeup and hair appointments and all this beauty based shit to "look good" translates directly to "fuck me" to the male monkey brain.

So that in combination with never being taught self defence, results in lots of rape and sexual assult that could be been avoided, had the woman been more adapted to survival.

If I have a daughter, I'll give her tools and equipment and motorbikes to play with, and I'd teach her all the tricks on how to deter and destroy a sexual predator.




Being physically able to fend off your attacker doesn't do much for the increased chances of being drugged and raped by someone you know.

Not saying all that other stuff doesn't factor in. Totally does.

But there's also just inherent risks to being female.
Just as there is to being male.

Who's going to start the movement to ban the garbage that comes inside the bottle? I'm serious, let's send a petition to Mr. DiGiorno and get this rolling.

If you ban that there won't be any trees left an maple syrup will cost more then gold ubducking morons. Learn how the world and maple syrup industry works before you talk shit. You most of you idiots don't even have a brain and tastebuds in your head to tell the difference your fucking a bunch of animal savages its disgusting how just think things taste good cuz thats what people told you to think. Some of you people should be put in jail your just bad people.

I just got a call back from Mrs. Bites, you know, the wife of Mr. Bagel Bites. She says they are willing to back us on a petition to end the hate, end the torture, and finally put an end to fake maple syrup. We couldn't have done it without Tom Green though, he really pushed us over the edge, even if he did recently become an American citizen (like the pansy he is).

Here in South Africa we have Ouma (Afrikaans for Grandma) Biscuits/Rusks.

I think everyone mature reaches a point where caring for others is basically your main preoccupation. Selflessness is the ultimate spiritual goal and all that.

Looks pretty similar in vibe, imo. This is a white lady however.

Doesn't reek of the same vibe really IMHE. If you grew up here in the USA you would know/feel exactly what this is all about. I'm not saying you can't sympathize, but you really can't know the depth of it (maybe you can, you're a very wise fellow). This shit is so ingrained in american culture it's excepted by masses of people. Groups of people have been trying to get those labels changed for decades and finally this terrible incident has caused a domino effect in all things.

You guys did have that sun city thing though, and I could relate that to what's happening here.

Sometimes I try and wonder what I would do if I was the person in charge of making this change. It is an outdated stereotype, and I do think that it makes sense to look at it can say it's time to change it.

What would you do? You would want to be tasteful, but also clear and communicative so that customers who are looking for their usual bottle of garbage syrup will be able to find it.

I like the idea of featuring black women on the bottle, but I think we should see some actual women who have made meaningful impacts on the world. Harriet Tubman, Katherine Johnson, Mae Jemisom - those are women that have accomplished more than the average person could ever hope to and absolutely deserve to be regarded as role models by everyone, not just little black girls. Seems just a bit better to me than an old southern mammy. Plus it like, empowers your brand, or whatever.




Too bad the syrup is garbage and the corporation responsible for the brand is a piece of shit in general in other ways.
