I always saw black people drinking Sprite when I was around them.

I don't know the dood, maybe he is racist, but the name "Grape Soda" clearly is not. If there's more to it there's more to it but this headline is bullshit.

I drank a lot of grape soda when I was a kid. And I am as white as it gets.

This is just PC bullshit.

To prevent any future misunderstandings, maybe Mr. Biden and Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Schumer should make sure that one of the first laws passed by the new administration is the following:

Before anyone can name anything (a person, a race horse, a business, etc.) that person must submit the proposed name to the local BLM chapter. If it OKs the name, it will issue a certification of approval.

Grape soda is somehow a racist term now? Someone will have to explain that one to me.

Of course there's more to it. These people have absolutely lost their minds. The "more to it" is that the guy tweeted about naming the horse "Grape Soda" after a black sports analyst and posting black fists and menthol cigarette jokes about the horse's workouts.

New name seems pretty cool to me.

Yeah that's not gonna be easy. I remember a similar thread on Kool-Aid. I remember setting up a poll about it. In both cases they referred to alleged "stereotypes" I never heard of. Seems to me if you're gonna drop an ethnic slur it has to be well-known or else it doesn't work.

Does anyone remember Radar from MASH? He was hooked on NEHI Grape Soda.

I didn't think you could eat magic mushrooms without a jar of grape Kool-Aid.

Yeah. "Grape drank" may be a stereotype, but grape soda???

I doubt that's why the horses name was changed.

And it's funny what some whites consider PC. Anything they get called out on in reference to them dissing other cultures is pc bullshit, but when it comes to white culture we must be politically correct. Like we must always say "not all whites," when we talk about white racism.

Guillot, who has made $13 million over his career from horses he trained, tweeted on Jan. 1 that the three-year-old colt he was running at Aqueduct Racetrack was being given a new name “in honor of a TVG analyst,” and followed that with a Black fist emoji. He revealed in a follow-up tweet that the name of the horse was “Grape Soda,” which can be a racist term directed at Black people.

So he decided to change the name of the horse from what it was to Grape Soda. Why?

The horse, which took first place, had reportedly been named to torment Ken Rudulph (right), who is an analyst for TVG and is black. Grape soda is considered a racial slur as the drink is often stereotypically associated with black people

If you are ever watching reruns of that show, look closely at his hands.
