The New York Times is reporting that Mid Continent Nail Corporation, the largest producer of nails in the country, will likely lay off half its employees and maybe even go out of business due to the increased cost of Mexican steel.

Really, truly, and for serious: it is only incredibly sheltered, spoiled people who “mistake” white-men-on-a-rampage, thinking only of themselves and taking advantage of every exception there is while leaving behind them a trail of ruin and despair their more competent social lessers will have to mop up for the next…

Thank you for this. Also, POTUS going after a private business? That cannot be ok, legally.

“I put my fingers in my ears when grown-ups are talking, so that means nobody countered my mouth fart-noises.”

The Huckabee is a greasy pork sandwich served on a dirty ashtray.

There’s a sizable contingent two counties over from me who will now have to choose between whether they support Harley Davidson or whether they support Trump. I thought I heard fireworks earlier, but it might have been their heads exploding from the conundrum.

Ugh. Suggesting that asking Ms. Sanders to leave a dining establishment was a health issue. I’d lose my diner seeing her face knowing what she uses it for. So sick of the outright lies, the deflection, the obfuscation. Perhaps the Red Hen could add a dish named “The Huckabee”, with a description that matches her…

The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!

“Removing them because they’re (to borrow from a brilliant commentor above) “not woke enough” is silly.”

Wilder actually knew some of what she was writing wasn’t okay, and either she kept it or editors kept it - if you read her correspondence it becomes clear. While you can certainly discuss her work by framing the discussion about prevalent attitudes at that time, lots of what she wrote was not even a correct portrayal…

Yes, I can see that those not-Osage men that you probably found via the Google image search “Indian loincloth” are making harsh sounds. Also, your efforts kinda make the point about stereotyping of broad ethnic group. 

I agree with you that Trump is president partly because racist people react poorly when you tell them that racism exists and is wrong. This is what you meant, right? Good take, good take.

Things that are not happening-
This group telling people not to read her books.
Publishers not publishing her books.

It’s our history. Still out there. Just we’re no longer glorifying the bad bits and pretending they’re not that bad. Kind of like getting rid of Confederate monuments.

The irony of your comment is so delicious. You have terrible reading comprehension! And you’re weighing in on a post about literature.

To be clear, literally all they did was take her name off a prize. 

The minstrel show was in the version of the books I read when I was a kid. Even in the 70s that was weird. If you choose to read this version, I recommend following it up with some qual time listening to the fantastically talented Carolina Chocolate Drops or NCs answer to Beyonce Rhianna Giddens. They have taken black…

So then textbooks will stop rewriting slavery as a guest worker program? Since we’re talking about flossing over history and all...

Ma literally says “the only good Indian is a dead Indian” soooooooooo yeah. I re-read these books after a surgery (was v high on painkillers) and was pretty disturbed by that aspect of it. 

Guess you haven’t seen her picture.

Shut up Ivanka, you are a dumb bimbo
