Even the Ice Cream Truck is now Racist

time to start paying attention to the tunes adapted to the filth coming out of the mouths of BLM pigs

Yep. How about that rap music? Some of it is quite vulgar and profane.

It's just noise....and some advice not everyone wants to hear it....so lower the volume level

Yep.

When you have mental issues just because someone else realizes how racist some things are. ^^^^^

Racist?

If the historians hadn't drug out the past, most folks?

The only lyrics we ever knew as kids growing up?

RZA came up with a new ice cream truck jingle because the old one was used in minstrel shows

"Turkey in the Straw" originated from a traditional British tune brought to the American colonies by Scots-Irish immigrants, according to scholar Theodore R. Johnson in his 2014 article for NPR.


The original song has no racial undertones. But the melody to the "Turkey in the Straw" was used by minstrel show performers in blackface and set to very racist lyrics -- and that is how it rose to prominence in the US, Johnson wrote. Ice cream parlors throughout the 1800's commonly played minstrel songs, which were eventually turned into ice cream truck jingles.
"While these associations of "Turkey in the Straw" are not the only part of its legacy, it is undeniable that this melody conjures memories of its racist iterations," Good Humor said in a statement.

It's amazing how hard people look for something to offend them. The RZA is an asshole, and I always liked his music.

It is an ice cream truck jingle!!!! Just go along with it and move on.

Was it comforting?

It's the kind of thing that you just have to say, "WTF"? What's next for these assholes, are they going to go after John Wayne, and say HE was racist and a bad person, and re-name an airport that was named after him? (SARCASM ALERT)

When everything is racist, nothing is racist.

Everything isnt racist. Only racist things are racist.

You being a prime example

Cripes, attacking old songs is just fcking stupid

No youre stupid. If pointing our racism in a song hurts your feelings then thats too bad.

The only lyrics we ever knew as kids growing up?

Ignorance of something being racist doesnt make it less racist. The judgement is on the song not the millions of kids that had no idea it was racist.

Kind of a like a wordless song from an ice cream truck hurting yours?

And it isn't about feelings, it's about commie fucks like you attacking anything in the name of it being wacist.

Grow a pair.

In this day and age just realize that everything is racist.

Lots of shit in america is racist. Deal with it.

It is only racist to those looking for something to whine about.
For the rest of us, no one gives a fuck

Of course you give a fuck. Thats why youre whining right now about the fact someone called it racist.

Thats why RZA came up with a new jingle. He took care of the hurt. No one gives a fuck about your whining which is why it was changed.

The ice cream truck jingle has no words. The original words of the song weren't racist. Some minstrel shows co-opted it for racist songs, and now 99% of people only remember it as a song for ice cream or a 10 year old's parody song.

My rule of thumb is if I have to look something up on Wikipedia to find out if I should be offended by it . . . I shouldn't.

Its vilified already and no longer part of the jingle. Youre stupid not the person fixing it.

" Some minstrel shows co-opted it for racist songs, "

Thats good enough for me to call it racist and approve of it no longer being used.
