They are Gullah people, also known as Geechee. There is nothing derogatory about them. Geechee comes from a river in Georgia. Nobody really knows where Gullah came from, some suspect it's derived from Angola - where the Africans came from.

There's a market and mill in Edisto, SC called "Geechie Boy.' It was the owners nickname and since the selling the company, it's still called that. You can buy stone ground grits, corn flower, etc.. It's owned by a white family. I just learned that SJWs are harassing this man to rename the company b/c Geechee is offensive. We asked a black chef we know (who is supposedly an expert on southern cooking) and says it is - but admits he has no idea what Geechee is or where it comes to.

Spoiler: show

Btw - this guy has no problem getting a degree from Ole Miss for free, simply b/c he's black and using his race in negotiating his salary.

These SJWs have gone so far as to send him hand written letters threatening his life and his children's. The guy has too much inventory to rename and is thinking about selling.

This is total crap. I'm going to make the assumption that these fucks are white who has no clue about the history of the word and name and are just attacking a white man for having a company with a black past. I hope these SJWs get arrested.

Like a lot of people that have more than a few years in the small-town south, I've been around more black people than most liberal whites have.

They're not very diverse in how they vote. Most would vote for a llama if they had a D next to their name and they won't apologize for it. But there's a lot more diversity of opinion when it comes to things like racism and PC and wokeness. Most of the things I've heard said about black people that no white person could get away with publicly saying even before this year have come from black people. Most prefer social programs to having more movies about how it was actually Ben Franklin's black maid that discovered Coulomb's Law.

It's obvious to me which white people have been around your typical black person versus those white people that think they know what the black person hive mind thinks from talking with Chloe from their book club or following Hannah Jones on Twitter.

I haven’t been around all that many white southern folk either. Are you saying I shouldn’t believe that the White Southern hive mind is racist, Republican, and ignant?

I'll add that the chef is from New Jersey and i've lived in South my entire life. Even while going to Catholic school, we lived in an area that had a large number of middle class black families. My roommate and best friend from college - black guy from NJ.

Maybe things have changed but I honestly don't recall Geechee being offensive ( and am still not sure it is).

I'm not sure what point you're making here, so I'll just guess.

I made the comment I did about how they vote because when I say something like that someone always seems to make some snide remark about me being a person that thinks Martin Luther King Jr would be a Republican today and blah blah blah. I don't think the vast majority of black Democrats are Republican and just don't know it. I'm just saying the reason they vote for Democrats isn't what a lot of Democrats think.

It's just another reason I believe that if Democrats moved left on economics and ditched the identity politics they'd be a lot stronger politically in many states but that's beside the point.

A Goodyear employee at a plant in Topeka, Kan., shared a slide that he said came from the company's corporate office in Akron, Ohio. The slide, reported by WIBW, showed two categories: Acceptable and Unacceptable.

Under “Unacceptable” were Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, MAGA and politically affiliated slogans or material.

After Trump's tweet, Goodyear responded, saying that the company "became the focus of a conversation that created some misconceptions about our policies and our company."

Goodyear said that the “visual in question was not created or distributed by Goodyear corporate, nor was it part of a diversity training class.”

Goes to show if a company allows people to wear Black Lives Matter, LTQBG, etc, they should allow people to wear Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, MAGA, etc.
Smart thing IMHOP would be for a company to allow employees to wear no slogans at all.

So as an ANTI-Cancel Culturist, you are going to go right out and buy a set of American made Goodyear tires, correct?

Shares of the Akron, Ohio-based tire manufacturer fell as much as 5.86% following the president’s tweet while rival Bridgestone Corp. was up 1.42%.

The ban is on all political slogans - including for Biden.

Two, why is the "President of the United States" trying to tank a US company that employees THOUSANDS of American workers (and many are supporters of the dumbshit)? That's actually illegal.

but the Trump Cult doesn't care about that. They only care that someone didn't give divine preference to their leader.

And if you vote for Trump, you are in the Cult. Especially those jag-offs that participate in Trump Boat Parades and other cult-behavior.

“To enable a work environment free of those, we ask that associates refrain from workplace expressions in support of political campaigning for ay candidate or political party, as well as similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of racial justice and equity issues.”
