Don't Panic! Lighten Up!
"Anywhere we see a person of color, we see racism. So we must end racism by making sure people of color are not depicted anywhere," said white liberal activist Petunia Faucett. "We will not rest until all pop culture icons of color are eliminated. Then, racism will be over."
Activists across the country cheered as another pop culture icon of color was removed this morning. "We worked hard to achieve this goal, and the day is finally here," Faucett said. "But our work is not done. We must be vigilant to hunt down people of color on butter tubs, syrup bottles, cartoons, and bags of rice, and take them out of the public consciousness."
"When only white people are shown as mascots, cartoon characters, and brand logos, we will have truly arrived at our diverse, racism-free future."

did anybody ever notice, that the majority of all this anti racism activists are whites ? just wondering.... where did they get their talking points from? because thinking was clearly not involved there.

Given that, I'm going to let C-dog do the explaining; I blush too easy. (And when you learn what it was, you'll say "Wow! He does blush too easily!") (And that is far more 'me' than quite a bit of the lover-boy bravado I put on here - but not where scumbags are concerned; I hates em, Gollum!)
If C-dog doesn't answer, please repost here in 24 hours or so and I will.

I hate to see these beloved characters leave the grocery shelves.
They've lost me as a customer.
Guys are so predictable.

The art and the maiden are lovely. I'm really sad to see them go. Ditto Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima. I've never had a negative thought, or even considered the skin color of any of them until it was shoved in my face like this.
So now we've got Bob's Red Mill, Snap, Crackle n'Pop, Cap'n Crunch, Quaker dude? Just guessing. Cereal isn't really my thing.
Went bezerk at some mascot convention, slaughtered Snap, Crack AND Pop, PLUS the good Cap'n Crunch, and, worst of all, his faithful pup, Sea Dog.* So the Q is now the world's worst Cereal Killer.

*We gave and still use a lot of nicknames around here. I loved that one that they gave me because I spent so much time out surfing when everyone else wanted to go home. I guess here it could be called "R.C. Dog."

Felines are AMAZING! I love seeing videos of them; they really are a step above in existing in this reality. They can leap to the top of the refrigerator - my cat, who's small and not a jumping cat like a Siamese, well this happened. I was loading stuff into my top freezer. I turned to grab more from the counter and when I turned back she was in by the ice cream. Never even heard her leap despite her bell; I'd guess I had music on, I usually do.
Here's a typical cat thing: [Link] A leopard climbing a tree with dead impala. [Link]
