Get rid of your jeans, they're "racist" in origin


Jun 19, 2020, 4:42 PM

Yep. I just researched it. Amosceag Mills, a huge mill along the Merrimac R. on which Manchester, NH was founded, was set up in the 1850's and had a fairly large monopoly and 8000 spindles and boarding houses for the workers, and even their own brick factory up the river, from which this huge building was made.

The kicker here is that is was a base for Levi Strauss, using large shipments of cotton from guess where - the South. This was the one of the early beginnings of denim and Levi's.

So I guess we need to be offended at jeans now, which everyone wears.

I thought GRITS stood for Girls Raised In The South. I think I only have 2 pair of jeans so that shouldn’t hurt me too much.

Grits are good as long as they are named after a black person.

That's an interesting false equivalency. I enjoy watching people twists themselves into knots in order to ignore or diminish the REAL reason that people are protesting.

It's worth noting, that the push to rename military bases first came from the Senate Armed Services Committee chaired by White Republican Senator Jim Inhofe (R - OK).

So you guys make jokes about Aunt Jemima all you want, but you're willingly ignoring the point.

Further, since you like research, please tell me who this is? I'll give you a hint, he was 14. And this is a before in life, and after in death photo. Who is he and why does he matter?
