Folks, it's official over. There is no longer any hope for racial harmony in this country.
The announcer for the Oklahoma City Thunder was suspended one game for his racial statement of saying that a player was out of his "cotton-picking mind". Are you freakin' kidding me??? I learned this phrase from Bugs Bunny or Foghorn Leghorn.
Pretty soon, white people won't be allowed to talk to black people at all without some accusation of racial inequality.

Hypersensitivity is not just a race issue. It is an issue with any 'protected minority'. That includes blacks, of course, but also the LGBQ community, native Americans, and women, to name the most vocal groups.
In other words, any group that can claim any historical harm/oppression/disadvantage from white males can organize an effective campaign for public grievance. And, of course, they can 'shut up' any rational discourse about their grievance as well.

I blame the negative trend on Obama and George Sorros. Never has a POTUS been so divisive and Sorros is the POS who funded BLM and also funded the idiot pimple faced kids who want their gun rights taken away.

We saw what happened to Paula Dean in 2013 when a former employee tried to milk her for money and then filed a lawsuit playing the race card. The Food Network canceled her show. Guilty by the political correctness police, with no chance to be proven innocent.
