BREAKING NEWS: Sheriff Mike Lewis Folds After NAACP Put Pressure On Him Last Night

It's true and yes, I can't believe it either but I'm told after all the violence within our country at this moment Sheriff Lewis didn't want to add to that situation. I'm also told he will bring back support at a later date when things calm down. 

Last night Sheriff Lewis attended a NAACP Rally and was dissed by several people there, including Sharee Sample Hughes, Mary Ashonte and others. Sheriff Lewis asked the Council to remove this from the agenda this morning.

With all due respect, it sure does sound like someone laid down their gun. I'm sorry but I personally just lost a LOT of respect for this man.

A Viewer Writes: Rainbow Flag

Can someone please tell me why Delmarva Power in Salisbury is flying a rainbow flag? And I still don’t understand why Salisbury’s new logo has the rainbow on it. Are we just an LGBT community now?

A Viewer Writes: Erasing History

I understand that it seems like the right thing to do - Send statues of Confederates, slave owners, military hero, etc. into the river or on to the ground or into oblivion by defacing, but I still have to ask - If by doing all these things are you not erasing your own history? As disgusting as aspects of our combined history might be... bondage, slavery and all that it implies is still (even though unpleasant) part of our heritage. We need to remember how bad it was. If you remove all signs of it, will the next generation remember that it even happened? Will the next generation ask questions like "How can this be true - there is nothing to mark these events/" I know you may be offended by these monuments and resent the era they represent, but to eliminate them is to eliminate the price paid by the people who lived it.

Iconic 'Aunt Jemima' and "Uncle Ben' Get Name Changes

Iconic brands Aunt Jemima pancakes and syrup and Uncle Ben’s rice are being retired after someone noticed they were racist.

In truth, black activists have been agitating for Quaker Oats Company and Mars, Inc. to change the names for decades. It’s marvelous what a little rioting will do to scare the bejeebers out of corporations and bend them to your will.

What makes the two brand names particularly revolting is that they harken back to the antebellum South, where Aunt Jemima was in the kitchen and Uncle Ben was the trusted man-servant/slave. It’s probably not too much to ask that blacks should be able to go to the grocery store and not be reminded of their former enforced servitude.

Associated Press:

The owner of the Uncle Ben’s brand of rice says the brand will “evolve” in response to concerns about racial stereotyping. The announcement Wednesday arrived hours after Quaker Oats said it was retiring its Aunt Jemima brand of syrup and pancake mixes. Caroline Sherman, a spokeswoman for Mars, which owns Uncle Ben’s, says the company is listening to the voices of consumers, especially in the black community, and recognizes that now is the right time to evolve the brand, including its visual identity.

This follows the decision earlier in the year by Land O’Lakes to ditch its equally iconic Native American girl on its butter.

Ocean City Liquor Store Ransacked Last Weekend

The image above is NOT from the store that was ransacked and robbed. I'll not expose the name of the store in Ocean City but one experienced several young African American men walk in and just started running their arms down the shelves and knocking product to the ground while shoving alcohol up their shirts, turning around and walking out of the store threatening the employees if they called the Police. It took Ocean City Police THIRTY MINUTES to respond to the call. The Liquor Store had to close the following day to clean everything up.

Now don't ALL of you find it interesting how this never made it into the news. I can tell you after doing this for 15 years, someone was listening to the scanner and the whole situation got covered up. Yeah Chief, crime is down.

Aunt Jemima brand to change name, remove image that Quaker says is 'based on a racial stereotype'

“We recognize Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype," Quaker Oats said, adding that the move is an effort "toward progress on racial equality."

The Aunt Jemima brand of syrup and pancake mix will get a new name and image, Quaker Oats announced Wednesday, saying the company recognizes that "Aunt Jemima's origins are based on a racial stereotype."

The 130-year-old brand features a Black woman named Aunt Jemima, who was originally dressed as a minstrel character.

The picture has changed over time, and in recent years Quaker removed the “mammy” kerchief from the character to blunt growing criticism that the brand perpetuated a racist stereotype that dated to the days of slavery. But Quaker, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, said removing the image and name is part of an effort by the company “to make progress toward racial equality.”

“We recognize Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype," Kristin Kroepfl, vice president and chief marketing officer of Quaker Foods North America, said in a press release. “As we work to make progress toward racial equality through several initiatives, we also must take a hard look at our portfolio of brands and ensure they reflect our values and meet our consumers’ expectations."

Kroepfl said the company has worked to "update" the brand to be "appropriate and respectful" but it realized the changes were insufficient.

Not only are you subjected to a long line to get in to the store but the line to check out went all the way to the back of the store. I felt so bad for the lady in front of me who had ONE ITEM! Sam's Club needs to step up their game and get it together.
