Tea Label Deemed Racist

The PC cowards at AriZona Beverage Co. have been hounded into changing the label on their "Southern Style Sweet Tea" from this:

southern-style-sweet-tea-old.jpg

to this:

southern-style-sweet-tea-new.jpg

The old label was "racist" for depicting a plantation from the antebellum South.

If Obama Nation is successful at taking over the levers of power, Southern plantations won't be the last thing airbrushed out of American history.

On a tip from heckrulz.

FTA:

"The legislation will permit lesbian couples to be registered as legal parents for the first time, allow the creation of human-animal hybrid embryos for scientific research and remove the requirement on IVF clinics to consider a child's need for a father.

It will also give the green light to the creation of "saviour siblings" - children genetically selected to be a donor for a sick brother or sister."

COming soon to America? I hope not, but fear the worst.

Oh PUHLEEZE...

I've seen that can dozens of times and that never occurred to me. Not even once.

I guess what they ought to do in the South is systematically raze all of the old plantations and ban the showing of Gone with the Wind (like the PC police did with Song of the South)...

You're kidding! That's a plantation? I thought it was the interns' entrance at the Clinton Library.

Agreed. Then they can remove the word "south" from all the compasses and maps, renaming it "not north".

I've put up with this hate all my life. I believe that the real reson America will not "forgive" the South (Not that we ever ASKED for forgiveness) is that our ancessters defied the authority of the federal government and threatened New England's political and ecconomic power.

Some time ago, when Rush Limbaugh was plugging Snapple, there was a similar kerfluffle because the label showed an 18th century sailing ship docked. Those who wanted to boycott the stuff said the the ships were slave ships. However, closer inspection showed the world's most incompetent longshoremen. The ship was tied up along its port side, but the men, who were wearing feathered headdresses, were putting crates off on the starboard side. This label is nolonger on the bottle.

Agreed... and considering the fact that the "War of Southern Independence" was not fought over slavery in the beginning, but rather over State's Rights and the right to "withdrawl from the Union"... (Lincoln made it about slavery with the Emancipation, over 2 years into it), it was more about Lincoln raising an Army to invade southern states. Most confederate soldiers who fought in it were not ever slave holders, they fought because the Union invaded their homes.

That's not even a farking plantation! That's an antebellum style home! WTF!!!! Now everyone with that style home must be a racist?!

Wake me up when this insanity is over, please. I'll just be here hiding in my bunker in Alabama until it's safe to be Southern.

So it's less racist to invoke memories of "Old Man River" and "Porgy and Bess"?
