IMO, Chris Hummer simply hopes it won’t go away. He’s stirring the pot. Looking for clicks. Screw him.

IMO, those who want to do away with the Eyes are rather hypocritical in that belief as most as also strong supporters of Planned Parenthood.

They worked hard to come up with the mistrial show background for the Eyes. Someone once performed the song that somebody today doesn't like. Thats weak. Do we do away with "Amazing Grace" because Hitler is said to have sung it?

But the real hypocritical part is the support for PPH. PPH was founded by Margaret Sanger, who openly stated her belief that the black race was inferior and needed to be eradicated. She was a racist Eugenics advocate.

This is why you find PPH offices near or in every black neighborhood. Her belief in eliminating the black race lives on because of PPH.

But there will be no boycott of PPH. No "cancel" of PPH. No one cares about its heavily racist roots and actions.

The controversy about "The Eyes" is just a tool being used by the Marxists to divide us. There is no basis for it other than that. Destroy unity wherever they can. 

Show me how it's elimination would be more beneficial than harmful. I feel sorry for the kids who are told they should be offended and are being used as political pawns.

Explain this to me. In those articles I read that the song had its roots based in racism. Is that true? I had read that the song had been used in a minstrel show which is entirely different.

I am not black so I cannot pretend to understand the harm here. The line that says “all the live long day”.....that applies to me, and I never minded. What am I missing?

 

[oldhorn2]

Then this asshole should give up representing any player who decides to sing the eyes.

What bullshit.

Bear..... I don’t know you......but I think I would like you....

Paying more at the grocery stores, paying more at the gas pumps. Kids in cages at the border. Illegals flooding through the border with COVID. We’re a little over a month into this Democratic world of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. So much for being for the middle class, huh???? You couldn’t make this shit up if you tried
