And a lot more!

Maybe it won't be those counties getting new names. Check out what's been happening in Oklahoma.

I find the word 'Cherokee' offensive. Not the vehicle, but the fact that some people would call themselves that. Just plain offensive.

What about Quanah TX - whole damn town named after Quanah Parker, he even lived there for a while, but how dare they appropriate his name after he left!

Oh, it's gone way beyond Jeep and John Wayne. And yes, I'm offended by this entire thread. In fact, I'm offended by this entire forum. Hell. I'm offended that I'm offended!

Bon App-retreat: Magazine bows to woke mob and says sorry for 6-year-old ‘disgusting’ article about Jewish cookies

Love them or hate them, Hamantaschen are a staple of the Jewish holiday of Purim. But when a non-Jew said that these cookies left her unimpressed, a woke war of biblical scale broke out, and her magazine apologized to the mob.

Hamantaschen are stuffed triangular cookies eaten by Jews to celebrate Purim, a holiday that commemorates the defeat of Haman, a Persian warlord bent on the destruction of their people. But to food writer Dawn Perry, hamantaschen never hit the spot.

In an effort to correct their insensitivity, Jeep will introduce the all new George Floyd Edition, Jeep. It will sell for $18,000 in counterfeit bills and tires get no air.

I genuinely wish sports teams, car manufacturers, food companies, etc, would name every single thing they make after white people. I would LOVE to hear the pissing and moaning about it.
