re: Now in the cancel culture’s crosshairs: The Masters

Take down all paintings by the dutch masters

Burn all copies of Master and Commander

Master Engineers no longer should be employed

Because master really is only describing slave owners

And who gives a flying f...ox about who owned the land prior to Augusta National.

In reality I think some "journalist" is sitting at a laptop laughing at the thought of how many jimmies he/she will rustle with this filler article

Can't wait to hear Tiger Woods Comments on this. This will be great!

And be honest. When you hear anyone say the Masters, you think of slave masters in the South.

Not if you are a rational person...

Isn’t Arlington National Cemetery built on RE Lee’s plantation?

Yep but that was done as punishment to Lee himself...

I remember when the Masters required all entrants to use the club's black caddies.

Since abolishing that rule in 1982, the percentage of black caddies has dropped to nearly zero while the earnings for caddies has gone through the roof.

So, this racist club and tournament actually had an economic opportunity zone for blacks that has since been disintegrated to serve the interest of who, exactly?...

For some, the all-black staff on the old indigo plantation might have evoked memories of slavery and Jim Crow, but for many black Augustans like the Jacksons, a job at Augusta National was a source of pride and a steady income at one of the most famous golf clubs in the world. When I think of the Masters, I think of Carl and Bud and the countless other black men who have donned the white overalls of the Augusta National caddie. They were a community, one whose earnings trickled down to the local economy. “Monday morning after the Masters, all the caddies had made their money and the businesses downtown were waiting on us to spend some of that money,” Carl remembers.

The Masters is a PGA tournament that is hosted and run by Augusta National country club and its members

And be honest. When you hear anyone say the Masters, you think of slave masters in the South. There’s nothing else, nothing special. You don’t think of someone mastering the game of golf. When has anyone mastered golf?

How fricking brainwashed do you have to be to get to this point?
