St. Jude's orders group that has raised millions to change "racist" name

The group has raised $4.5 million for the children over the years, but St. Jude's said it will stop accepting if the group doesn't change the name of their annual fundraiser.

For the past 40 years, Decatur County has hosted a hunting event to raise money for the patients at St. Jude Children’s Hospital. So far, it has raised $4.5 million.

Decatur County Mayor Mike Creasy said the hospital is now threatening to turn down the donations unless the county changes the name of the event.

For decades, the event has been known as the Decatur County World’s Largest Coon Hunt.

St. Jude has threatened to disassociate with the event and not accept donations unless Decatur County changes the name to raccoon hunt, citing racial concerns.

The group was obviously pissed, because Coon Hunting is not fricking racist, but they agreed to change it to Raccoon. Then St. Jude went on to do this:

---

Creasy and the board agreed to change the event’s name, but St. Jude again asked the county to change the name to raccoon festival, citing animal rights concerns.

St. Jude does good work, but they need to do something soon about the damn SJWs they have working for them now.
