    I find the selective treatment of history kind of ridiculous.

    Glad to see Kaepernick still out there making a difference. The Betsy Ross flag sneakers wouldn’t match those cops are pigs socks.

    Just to remind younger hand-wringers in here, when this person was shot on May 4, 1970, it wasn't over the recall of sneakers. When the bullets start flying, I'll start taking the current discussion of political correctness seriously.

    if only a liberal state would have banned the name i guess it would have made it here

    or if liberals were angry about a mermaid being portrayed by a black actor got them upset

    it might have made it here

    Well that's the most blatant act of cherry picking I've ever seen. Maybe being in a civil war had something to do with it, a war where if he lost his head would end up on a stake. Turns out, victory gave him a similar fate.

    Dude nobody gives a **** about little mermaid. The left always does this, they find like 3 random twitter accounts of a complaint then they say the GOP is outraged. Its absurd.

    With regards to the burger, I understand the logic. Like, for example, I can't sell sugar pills and label them as cancer curing pills"

    I'm not sure if I agree with the government regulating it, but you can extend the logic elsewhere where it makes total sense.

    I’m not sure I follow. I can see why you can’t call veggie protein “beef,” but I don’t see why you can’t call it a burger. It seems to get to some abstruse metaphysical pondering about what a burger or a hot dog is. I mean, a hot dog isn’t a dog, is it? The example you’re using is not a good analogy, as it’s making an unsubstantiated claim about health benefits, which is clearly a no-no.

    I’d also think this was a pretty clear call from a libertarian perspective, and it’s obviously speech policing—and, unlike almost everything else in this thread, it’s being done by the government.

    This is pretty much exactly what you do.

One biracial performer pulled out of the event over the absurdity of it all, so at least there was one voice of reason...
