Horse trainer Eric Guillot has been banned by the New York Racing Association and 1/ST Racing for changing the name of one of his horses to a racial slur, which was directed at a Black TVG analyst. Guillot, who has made $13 million over his career from horses he trained, tweeted on Jan. 1 that the three-year-old colt he was running at Aqueduct Racetrack was being given a new name “in honor of a TVG analyst,” and followed that with a Black fist emoji. He revealed in a follow-up tweet that the name of the horse was “Grape Soda,” which can be a racist term directed at Black people.

A white man used a term. All language used by a white man can be a racist term directed at black people.

Interesting. I googled the origin of grape soda and I see something about some white guy in the 20s who started making it in Arkansas and another type called NuGrape out of Atlanta in 1906 and bottled in the 1921, which was sold (licensing rights or something) to a bottling plant in Olla, La where they started making it.

Grape flavoring is pretty polarizing, I think. You either love it or hate it.

I for one find anything "grape" flavored to be disgusting.

Holy shite, what aren't they offended by? I mean, some damn good picnic foods like friend chicken, watermelon and now grape soda.

I suppose they dislike being associated with picnic foods...

Yeh I am sure there are countless others. I would imagine that many soda's were invented and sold at one location for a long time until distribution and bottling really took off. I love grape soda but it is no where close to Barq's Red Cream Soda.

Grapico is the shite. What’s the problem here? I don’t get it.
