Interesting read. His collection isn't to get him angry.

"News that Quaker Oats is dropping the image of Aunt Jemima from its syrup and pancake mix packaging has special meaning to me. I collect souvenirs of racism.

I used to call it my collection of racist artifacts, mostly from the post-Reconstruction era of Jim Crow segregation right up to our current historic moment of racial reckoning...."

Democrats are gonna vote for one. What's new.

So collecting Aunt Jemima boxes is ok...Confederate statues however....

Is he collecting these boxes to put in front of a courthouse in the middle of a town? A state capital?

Former Viking and Judge Alan Cedric Page does something similar. I would love to ask both of these men who have 'Colored' signs how they feel about the term people of color.

No.. Im fine with removing the confederate statues to museums btw. I do think some of this is over the top however. The emancipation statue being the most obvious one. Removing that one would be pure idiocy.
