Sugar. Unfortunately sugar is bad for us. Even more so high fruticose corn syrup.
I try to eat as little sugar as possible. I like that many labels now separate the natural sugar in the product with the added sugar. Generally if there is any added sugar, I don't get it.

That's the thing - if everything is racist, then nothing is racist, it just becomes an absurdity. Similarly this refrain of 'white privilege' castigates all Whites for the actions of those who abetted and still abet the disadvantaging of Blacks based on racist and classist ideologies and that includes those who continue to promote negative racist stereotypes for profit. Whites haven't so much enjoyed privilege as Blacks have been historically impeded both actively and passively.
People (on this forum) bemoan the sudden displacement of Whites in commercials in favor of a disproportionate number of Blacks. Instead of bemoaning it, they should be encouraging it because these commercials are challenging the negative stereotypes and portraying Blacks, not as hood rats, but as normal middle class people who work, care about their homes, buy paint, mow their lawns and worry about the health of their families. Negative stereotypes don't just prejudice White people against Blacks, they affect how Black children see themselves and affect the choices that they make in life.
In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.
