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.


Yea this is not a thing. Black people do not consider grape soda as a freaking racial slur lol.

My grandfather was the money man behind grapette. The guy who bottled it owned the formula. Sam Walton bought the formula.

Had an uncle (lived in Cleveland, OH) that would refer to blacks as "moulinyan" which he said was Italian slang for eggplant. So, is the word and vegetable "eggplant" racist?

moolinyan noun Also moulinyan.
US offensive In Italian-American usage, a black person.

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


Actually you can’t even use the word picnic

The appropriate word is gathering

But what if it is a gathering with food that was transported via a basket?

Wow. I can't believe this terminology.

You realize this language just reinforces the hundreds of years of loaded meanings behind dark and light, right?

It is if you're calling a black person an eggplant or a moulinyan.
