JALLENYou can’t make fun of these serious cultural issues.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown September 08, 2018, 11:33 AM

rusbroI'm sure critics would say it's belittling/mocking a serious issue of police brutality against blacks, which I of course do not agree with.

The SJW's think that taking a knee is reserved for the National Anthem and it's about racism and police violence. In other words, the SJWs don't give a shit about facts and cry racism every 30 seconds.
The owner's sin is that he/she co-opted the SJW's co-opted symbol.
It's better to not wade into political issues as a business and just be about making money through hard work and business savvy.

spunk639First it's Massachusetts and if somebody feels, threatened hurt, offended or whatever there is a liberal backlash.
Taking a knee now has areligious significance to the left, associating it with anything that represents traditional Christian values is absolutely prohibited by and in this state.
Also this is cultural misappropriation the couple is white, only minorities should be taking a knee to represent their enslavement by the racist white police who prowl the streets at night looking to kill them.( Not my opinion just stating the tidbits of ideology delivered in the indoctrination centers across the state, i.e. Public schools.)
The ad would be ok if it were a transgender proposing to a unicorn, or a same sex couple, that would be the Spirit of Massachusetts.
Massachusetts the birthplace and autopsy of Freedom and Libery.

RogBCan't have two white people and no minority in pic. I've noticed more tv commercials are showing a mixed race couple in their ads.

smschulzIt's Massachusetts what do you expect?

synthplayerSkins, that picture says it all. But, if I were able to draw cartoons, I would have many more options so that racism would be every third option.
I found what you said riveting. September 08, 2018, 01:44 PM
justjoe"Racist" has no meaning anymore. They wore it out. Good riddance.

VanwallRacist has come to mean:
I'm (insert color, ethnic, LBFGQT, etc) and I don't like what you did/said/posted/etc.

ZSMICHAELI fear that comedy and cartoons are on the way out. I am curious to see if Warner Brothers is being sued because Elmer Fudd has a speech impediment or that Porky Pig stutters.

bigdealWe have now reached the point where everything is racist, therefore nothing is racist. We've also reached a saturation point where a majority of this country appears to have lost its damn mind.

That's to make you feel like you're the odd one...
Of the four interracial marriages, I've known, EVERYONE of them failed.

EdmondHow about they go on the offense and take the fight back to the person who decided to post this on FB calling it racist?
My thinking is racists see racism everywhere.
