These business owners and managers are too stupid to form a coherent argument against the wokesters so they just cave to public pressure. Often they cave even before there is any pressure because they are spineless cucks who should have paid attention in Intro to Philosophy.

When I was a kid my dad told me "if you don't take a stand when people try to push you around then before you know it they'll be pushing you everywhere. They'll push you up and down this road out here"

That's where we are as a society. Chicken shits afraid to take a stand on anything.

I hope they brought HER in for this. You shouldn't have to apologize for someone else's ignorance. Not to mention she sounds nosey as hell. Someone like that will ALWAYS be a liability- which means a bad investment.

bet Martha Stewart wouldn’t get fired for saying that


Martha Stewart is an OG. She's good to go.

I'd like to imagine this is exactly how she talks to snoop every time they're not on TV.

Can someone give me a clear definition for "Nizzle"? I need to know exactly how enraged I should be.

didnt know Vicksburg was big enough for its own news station. That's one of the most depressing towns I've ever visited. Its long removed from its glory days. Walking through downtown reminds me of an apocalyptic movie

Has one of the nicest civil war parks/battlegrounds in the south though. The drive tour is fantastic.

This firing and canceling over such things needs to stop. There's no bad intent with that phrase. Good grief.

The anchor woman clearly had no clue what that phrase meant.

""fo shizzle ma nizzle" is a bastardization of "fo' sheezy mah neezy" which is a bastardization of "for sure mah n---a" which is a bastdardization of "I concur with you whole heartedly my African american brother"

You know as well as anyone that they didn't do shite to her.

The powers that be want segregation to come back and they want it bad.
