Really?

Why was it named after Fowler and Wells to begin with? That does seem to me like a bad choice.

Who would of known or cared? Is it clever marketing? I never would of heard of them except for this. But now don't remember who they were or what they're called now.

Besides I'm offended they impugn phrenology.

How do these people not succumb to ulcers and heart attacks? It seems they invent things to worry about. It makes me wonder how they ever deal with a real problem in their lives, not fabricated ones.

They don't worry about these things individually. They could care less about Robert E Lee statues or names of restaurants. It's furthering the agenda of fundamentally transforming America that matters. Don't be fooled they are encouraged and emboldened by these small victories.

It's about control or the perception of it.

Nothing more.

It's why I am an absolute ASSHOLE to anyone who openly suggests that any object I own or opinion I have doesn't fall in line with the communist shitbag agenda.

I am not trying to make friends out of them as war has already been declared and their worthless opinion won't change.

That is a HELL of a long stretch between that restaurant and racism. Where does this stop?

How about Walmart? That was started by Sam Walton in Arkansas, Arkansas is in the south, the south supported slavery and racism, Walmart must be destroyed

Amazon? A tribe of women warriors from ancient Greece. Greeks had a tradition of making slaves out of the conquered, therefore Amazon promotes slavery and must be destroyed

Where does it stop? Can we somehow trace EVERY thing in this country to racism and slavery?

Sounds a bit like McCarthyism to me. What is next, the Anti-Fa running around the country asking every one if they are a racist, if they have known a racist, or if they have ever associated with racists or patronized a business that supports racism? Then beat them for doing it, or lying about it?

Sounds like a racist inquisition to me, and we all know how those end.

Here you go. Orpheum theater won’t show ‘Gone With the Wind,’ calling film ‘insensitive’

I wonder how the original, and only remaining Sambo's has kept its name?

McCarthyism? At least McCarthy had a real, dangerous enemy.

Good point.

Would one in a hundred know who Fowler and Wells were? And would one in a hundred know that their quackery was used by others to justify slavery?

It is absurdity.

I bet if we ever met, we would get along just fine.

Obviously should have named it Orson Wells!

That was my question.

I very familiar with Colicchio and curious as to why that'd pick some arbitrary name that nobody has any connection with other than that was the name of some tenants in the same building.
