Post by: BobR on February 12, 2019, 06:46:37 PM: I am offended beyond words, they pull the "blackface" shoes but leave the "paleface" one alone. That causes great pain in my heart. I think I need a lawyer!! I am going with HeroHog to Sambo's and see if I can rustle one up!!!

I used to work up the street from the original Sambos. Went there for breakfast a couple of times a month. It's still up and running.

Normally, when I see "designed by" next to the name of a celebrity, I assume that they were "ghost designed" by someone with actual talent.

But in this case, I'm pretty sure that they actually were designed by Katy Perry. :facepalm: [barf]

Yeah, I guess like a blind squirrel, an SJW will find a worthy cause every once in a while...

I drank out of a Sambo's mug for breakfast!

And those shoes are hideous!

Post by: dogmush on February 14, 2019, 09:43:35 AM: Why can't they just be black person shoes, as opposed to [gasp] blackface?

The SJW's do know that there are high melanin folks with blue eyes, right?

But then they can't be as offended

Post by: fifth_column on February 14, 2019, 09:50:27 AM: Wow. Those look like something a four-year-old would LOVE to use for dress up!

How anybody over four could possibly even consider wearing them is so far beyond my comprehension that my mind just goes blank at the thought.

It's as if mental retardation is contagious and has become endemic to the popular culture . . . . .

Hideous... [barf]
