Why's DD in trouble? Sharpton thinking chocolate donuts are racist?

There are many reasons and a long history for blacks in this country to
find the use of blackface repugnant anywhere it is found, and especially
when a corporation with deep American roots is using it.


There are some black people here who spend their life trying to find a

If they want to be offended, look at their own stereotypes as
presented in Hip Hop music.
