Okay... putting this where it belongs............. Honestly, it's so hard to put things in the right outrage area these days.
The University of Virginia is changing its athletics logo over links to slavery
New:
The previous design featured two crossed sabres with serpentine handles, a reference to curved walls on the UVA campus originally built to isolate enslaved people from the university community.
"After the release of our new logos on April 24th, I was made aware of the negative connotation between the serpentine walls and slavery," Williams said in a statement. "I was not previously aware of the historical perspective indicating the original eight-foot-high walls were constructed to mask the institution of slavery and enslaved laborers from public view."

I personally find it ironic that it took the folks at Quaker Oats 83 years to realize that The "Aunt Jemima" brand was racist...

Why is Yale University getting off the hook so easy?
"Elihu Yale (5 April 1649 – 8 July 1721) was an American born British merchant, slave trader, President of the East India Company settlement in Fort St. George, at Madras, and a benefactor of the Collegiate School in the Colony of Connecticut, which in 1718 was renamed Yale College in his honour."

I wonder if Uncle Nearest whiskey will survive?
Tennessee whiskey brand founded and owned by a black woman, Fawn Weaver. Pretty neat story actually. Doesn't mean some dope won't go starting a hashtag movement to cancel it.

Hmmmm yeah... no. There was a man named Anthony Johnson who had been an indentured survant in Virgina who won his freedom and through the courts was granted the right to own land and slaves but he was not the first slave owner in America.
The first legal slave owner in American history was a black tobacco farmer named Anthony Johnson.
Possibly true. The wording of the statement is important. Anthony Johnson was not the first slave owner in American history, but he was, according to historians, among the first to have his lifetime ownership of a servant legally sanctioned by a court.
A former indentured servant himself, Anthony Johnson was a “free negro” who owned a 250-acre farm in Virginia during the 1650s, with five indentured servants under contract to him. One of them, a black man named John Casor, claimed that his term of service had expired years earlier and Johnson was holding him illegally. In 1654, a civil court found that Johnson in fact owned Casor’s services for life, an outcome historian R Halliburton Jr. calls “one of the first known legal sanctions of slavery — other than as a punishment for crime.”“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something.

My off the boat Irish grandmother had a mean German Shepard named Ramal.
When I grew up there was a chain called Kentucky fried chicken. They shortened that to KFC.

Fun fact, if you drive along I-75 through Lexington, you will see the the gorgeous and sprawling Kentucky Horse Park, home to the Rolex Equestrian Games and well-kept horses of well-heeled people from all over the world.
Not to be outdone, in the last few years, directly across the highway from the Horse Park is the newly constructed shrine to Kentucky beef: the Kentucky Cattlemen's Beef Center and Farm. Apparently The Bluegrass is home to the largest beef herd east of the Mississippi.
Horse shit and bull shit all on one stretch of road. Bourbon just off the next exit.I still call it The Jake.

Those beautiful rolling hills of Kentucky bluegrass!
One time I bought pure maple syrup to a friend's house for a breakfast gathering and the mother who was from Sweden thought it was the most disgusting thing she'd ever tasted and reached for the comfort of her Golden Griddle. <shudder>“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something.
