PC gone too far?

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

I'm confused.   DeMarcus thinks black people are monkeys?  Or the ancient Chinese were racist for starting their lunar year at the start of Black History Month?

You're an old white straight dude. You don't get to be offended by anything.  :police:

I am going to have to agree with Regolith on that point.  You have to just shut up and take it.
