re: #53 Patricia Kayden

It really makes you wonder what Republicans and Conservatives think about this country. Do they really believe that only their opinions carry any weight? The removal of racist logos and emblems is a good thing in a diverse, multicultural country. In the near future, Whites won’t even be the majority here. Don’t they want to be treated with resident when that happens?

When you hear a white person talk about the removal of a racist symbol/logo/etc as being about “heritage,” nine times outta ten what they’re really saying is that the world they grew up in is changing and they can’t deal with it. It’s like the “Under God” in the pledge, they grew up with that and so assume it was always there. The Land O’ Lakes label they grew up with didn’t come about until 7 years after the brand began selling in stores, but they’re acting as though it was always there and to remove it is to in some way “erase” the history behind the name.
