So I read about this guy going to a phoenix restaurant, on the wall they have this old photo of a bunch of miners enjoying a beer.

What does this princess see? He sees black face and gets his knickers in a knot because the owner will not take it down.



Theres just no dealing with some people

That is what liberalism does to you, people wants to rewrite history in the US, is groups that their sole purpose is to prop lies and claim false history.

That picture looks like a gem of the past, a relic and as such it should stay.

Plain and simple.

People chose what makes them feel offended, they are idiots actually, in my books.

Goodness.

Just hope they never hear about the Black and White Minstrel Show.

I'd post a YouTube link but snowflake heads might explode.

What is this World coming to?

Just cleaned out our log stove.

My hands are black with ash.

Should I cancel myself?

It's one thing to be bottom of the barrel ignorant and be offended but it's completely different to know exactly what the picture is showing and still be offended.

Being in the second group is worse.

It's a mental illness.

liberalism has tagged anything and everything racist, this how they can be racist themselves while blaming somebody else.

Let's thanks the social media and liberal TV for this.

They have mastered the art of find offensive anything they do not agree with and tagged racist when they cannot find a reason why they feel offended.

It's a good representation of why you shouldn't ever care about racism if you are white...It's all made up and is only one way.

The author of the article is an absolute and complete tool. Prides himself on his military service but believes the picture should be taken down for the greater good. A sacrifice. What a tool.

A complete and total idiot.

Just because a person is so stupid that they get offended by mistake….like that retard who ripped down a Greek flag because it was blue like the isreal one….and that’s giving a huge benefit of doubt because you would have to be munted invalid to not understand the picture Or its context.


The article is a complete victim fest it’s quite pathetic to read actually. Couldn’t imagine being a man and having this view of reality what a waste.

these folks need some alone time. perhaps a decompression chamber for a few days with some nice soothing voice in the background explaining that they are the offensive one and should rethink their position on pretty much everything.

My ancestors were Welsh miners,they probably looked like that every day.
My earlier Welsh ancestors were truly oppressed,kidnapped,tortured and thrown in pits with wild boars and wolves if they got caught speaking their own language by soldiers of the English Crown who busted into Wales and tried their best to ethnicly cleanse the locals.

Do I hate the English?
No I consider them brothers and sisters.

Should I get reparations for the horrors my ancestors endured?
No because everyone who commited those acts are long dead and I don't believe the sins of forefathers can be blamed on those alive today.

This whole thing of choosing to be a "victim of oppression" has its roots in marxist revolutionary ideology and there is far too much of that BS today IMO.

Just don't approach the walls of Chester after midnight. I believe it's still legal for a Welshman to be shot dead. Probably.

I grew up in coal country. The put down coal dust on the roads in the winter, so we could have traction. Most of my friends who had fathers who were miners had giant dinosaur footprints that were made of coal. Three-toed dinosaur footprints that sat proudly outside the doors of their owners. Faces that looked like that were common where I grew up. When people came from the face, you couldn't often tell a white man from a black man, except for their hair. Many of those people got Black Lung Disease (CWP) and died with symptoms quite similar to Emphysema. While I was a teenager, I delivered mining supply equipment and on two occasions had to demonstrate a battery-powered mining crawler underground. That scared the absolute # out of me, and convinced me that I would do ANYTHING rather than go underground to mine coal. I have so much respect for those heroes who went to work day after day, went underground, breathed the #, and went home to their families. Some of their family members also contracted Black Lung, just from the emissions and the dust from the clothes of their loved ones.

The person who objected to that photograph didn't have the sand to be the coal tar on any of their shoes. I am so weary of this weakness that has become rife in parts of our society. I believe it is mostly in the cities, and among the coastal cities -- both east and west coast -- of the U.S. The photo depicts working people that worked harder and dug deeper in their souls than any of the snowflakes that judged them. As you can tell, this really hits where I live, and pisses me off. The working rurual class of American just spoke their mind loud and clear. Those that didn't hear it, should slap themselves in the ear, and ask themselves if they're listening out of their 'good ear' now.

Okay. Settling myself down now.
