Did they wise up?
And realize that they weren’t actually helping their students?
Or did they just get tired of the derision from the rest of the world?
(or maybe the students didn’t use the “self care rooms” for some reason?)
Whomever thought this shit up needs their ass kicked….
Bill Penzey thinks you are a racist.
Y’know…the owner of Penzey’s spices…..
“Since I ask you to read my emails, I feel it’s only right that I read each of your replies. In sifting through those replies it was clear that, though not intended, a good number of people seemed to sincerely believe that in my statement I was calling all Republicans racists. In the emails of those Republicans who voted for someone other than the party’s nominee, I sensed genuine pain at having the strength of character to not go along with what was happening, but nonetheless be grouped in with those who were. I apologize for writing something that caused you pain; that is not the person I want to be. You are your party’s future, and you deserve my admiration and respect, and your country’s as well.
For the rest of you, you just voted for an openly racist candidate for the presidency of the United States of America. In your defense, most of you did so without thinking of the consequences of your candidate’s racism, because for most of you the heartbreaking destruction racism causes has never been anything you or your loved ones have had to experience. But the thing is elections have their consequences. This is no longer sixty years ago. Whether any of us like it or not, for the next four years the 80% of this country who did not just vote for an openly racist candidate are going to treat you like you are the kind of person who would vote for an openly racist candidate.
You can get angry at everyone else for treating you like you just did the thing you just did, or you can take responsibility for your actions and begin to make amends. If you are lucky and younger family members are still coming over for Thanksgiving, before it’s too late, take a moment and honestly think about how your actions must look through their eyes. Simply saying “I never thought he’d win” might be enough. But if you have the means, leaving a receipt from a sizable donation to the ACLU or the SPLC accidentally laying around where you carve the turkey, might go over even better.
Or, just do what you do best and volunteer. Through our customers’ support, we’ve given away a lot of our Penzeys Pepper, the Pepper with heart. More often than not, those we meet cooking and serving food to feed those in need are Republicans. You really are a good bunch, but you just committed the biggest act of racism in American history since Wallace stood in the schoolhouse doorway 53 years ago. Make this right. Take ownership for what you have done and begin the pathway forward.”
I (used to) spend a lot at their stores and/or online.
Brigid and I have both recommended their products. I can’t speak for her, but I won’t recommend them anymore. I won’t buy from them anymore.
My letter to him today:
I reference the letter you sent to your customers regarding our voting choices.
In the strangest places.
Selling raffle tickets at the Crown Point gunshow.
Up walks Tam.
Color me surprised.
A worthy cause
and a raffle.
Might be your lucky day to help a Marine.
Or just do a good deed.

Spare a few bucks?
And remember, the UN now controls the Internet….
” Internet ‘Disruptive’ Force that Has to Be ‘Contained, Managed, and Steered’ by Government”
“German Chancellor Merkel, who is presently deciding whether to run
for a historic fourth term on the strength of her pro-migrant policies
which have seen her lauded with praise by President Obama, moved
to address populism in her joint address.
Calling the surge of interest in right-wing politics a “wave” that “engulfs
us,” Ms. Merkel noted the sentiment “seems to come from the United
States,” but in an oblique reference to President-Elect Donald Trump
said it was an issue she was dealing with in Europe, too.
She said: “Look at the European parliament. There are a lot of people
who are looking for simplistic solutions and are preaching simplistic
solutions which are very unfriendly policies. We have them here
in Europe, too, we have them in Germany too.”
Apparently blaming this rising populism — politics that are popular
with voters — on the internet, the German chancellor implied
the internet would have to be subject to restrictive censorship laws
as were enacted by many European nations to stem the disruptive effect
of the printing press.,…….”

Be afraid, They are out to control what you hear, see, and read in an attempt to control what you think.
They almost had us in the 70’s and 80’s….they controlled the press and the radio (mostly) and the TV…. and therefore the information….Until the rise of the internet in the 90’s.
Now, they want to fix that too….
So yer afraid:
Yeah, you. The Muslim person….The Hispanic ….The Black dude (or woman).
You claim (or the Media claims, anyway) that you are afraid (of something) because Trump was elected as our next president.
You (or the media claims) are afraid of racism. Because (or so the Media claims) Trump was elected by racist white people.
Well, first of all, It is White people who are the majority in this country. Had we elected Hillary Clinton (A white woman) there would still have been a majority of white people voting to elect her. Where, exactly, is the racism?
Second, if we were all so racist, we’d not put up with your antics.
Muslim threats muslim attacks…self radicalized, etc…..Muslim attempts to change our society to suit your religious and cultural lifestyle would have long since engendered violence. But somehow, it hasn’t. We ARE growing tired of it, but we aren’t doing anything, and haven’t.
Hispanics…..The press tells us that you claim you are afraid….of what, exactly, they don’t tell us….But afraid, nonetheless….. Here is the thing….if we, as the majority of the people in this country…yes, us whites,…If we were inclined to do violence, or to somehow oppress you, we could easily have done so in the recent past….but we haven’t. We have put up with your support of people that are illegal immigrants over those who are legal and welcomed immigrants. (You support race over country, which I personally find offensive) yet we haven’t terrorized you or harmed you, or done anything to you.
And you black people. We haven’t done anything to you. We could, but we don’t, because we are (generally) decent people. W e haven’t killed or lynched anyone, not even those “Black Lives Matter” folks that threaten us and insult us and riot and break things and stop traffic and such. Who state on video that they want to kill or harm White people. Who is the racist there?
See, all of you. your forget one thing. We are decent law abiding citizens. We obey the law. We don’t kill people, we don’t lynch people, we don’t do any of the things the press implies (but doesn’t say) you are afraid of.
We could….But we don’t. Never forget, we are the majority, and many of us are armed….And know how to say “hello” from hundreds of yards away. We also own pistols for close work, and we practice….We don’t spray bullets from a car in drive by shootings and hit innocents. We hit where we aim. I figure about 3 weeks, realistically.
But if we haven’t done anything by now, then you can rest assured that until you up your game and piss us off a great deal more, you are probably safe. Unlike you, we see that there are lots of folks who aren’t looking for trouble. Oddly enough, we can see past the filter of race and culture and can see the individual. You are the ones grouping by race, not us.
But rest assured, if we should decide to do so, we could choose to finish the job the press claims we want to do. Since we are decent people, we won’t.
A hunnerd and foty fyve years ago
The NRA was born.
I am proud to be carrying on the traditions as an NRA instructor.
If nothing else, the NRA frightens many Senators and Congressmen enough to be cautious in what gun related legislation they pass.
Pretty much this whole article is a lie
And it is pretty far out there, even for Slate.
“There’s no such thing as a good Trump voter“
I guess they read Goebbels (Hitler’s Propaganda Minister) “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes Truth”.
May have also been Lenin…Google says both.
The sad part is that a large number of Muslims and Hispanics and a greater percentage of Black People actually believe this. (But then again, a significant number of Blacks are uncomfortable driving into rural Indiana, believing that there is a KKK member behind every stalk of corn…..Which there isn’t)
