The name "Papa John" will be erased from the company John Schnatter founded. The racist Republican used the "N" word. Are all racists dumb?
He resigned as chairman. Years ago we stopped buying from him. This isn't his first stroll around that barn. Like Chick Fil A and Hobby Lobby and other such ilk. Racism spills out eventually.
Oh brother! They can erase names, they can try to mend damages done, but they'll never erase racism. People thrive off of it. For example, it amazes me that black folks can call themselves the "n" word and all's cool. Yet if anyone else dares even to think the word they're quickly labeled a racist. Keeping a racist word in the limelight only serves to feed racism.

I don't get that either. Oprah Winfrey doesn't get it either. I remember years ago on one her shows she had a few African Americans on the show who defended the use of it among themselves. Her point was that the word itself is insulting and why would they insult one another. Not one of them could give a coherent logical response. Oprah just shook her head in disgust. As I recall. Thank you for your thoughtful reply Shuhak! People are puzzling. No doubt about it! :)
I have a question for you Kg and I'm gonna also ask it on Answermug. If one is a bigot how much of a stretch is it to also be a racist? I see no difference. Do you? Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday! :)
