Was this a racist statement?

[OLD GUY IN FLORIDA]

"What can brown do for you" is a UPS tag line. I guess that means every UPS driver is a black man

Writer and commentator Amber Athey says in a column for “The Spectator” she was fired from her radio gig at WMAL in Washington D.C. Furthermore, she’s accused of being racist after joking that a brown suit worn by Vice President Kamala Harris resembled a UPS uniform.
“Kamala looks like a UPS employee — what can brown do for you?” Athey’s March 1 tweet read. “Nothing good, apparently.”
Athey states that the tweet originally made no waves. However, days later, the remarks began to be noticed by many on the social media platform.
“All of a sudden, the Kamala tweet was being re-framed as racist, and dozens of Twitter accounts were bragging about contacting my employers about my’ bigotry,’” Athey said.

What do you think?

No. I don't think it is racist - other than the fact that everything is racist...

This is not an example of racism.


It’s almost as if people in our society are desperate to find racism where none exists. Is there a point in doing that?


There has to be a point where the left overplays the race card.

Since brown, is the color of their trucks, I don't see that statement as racist.

They've passed that point.

They've passed that point.

Obviously not as they keep doing it and millions of people are accepting it.

Truthfully, I can see where those with a chip on their shoulder could see this as a racist statement, not about the UPS element but the fact that Kamala Harris is brown and it could be seen as questioning if she got her position because of her color rather than her stellar political acumen

I recall the UPS slogan but I doubt they use it anymore because................

I don't know if it's racist, but it's pretty funny. And in this case, true, unfortunately.

Seriously, it's not racist. But that commentator will find another job. Screw the Woke.

She was on the Dana Loesch show today and stated that while she felt betrayed by the "Conservative" leadership of her station she did not expect it to harm her career since she also writes columns for the American Spectator, is writing books and has far greater income from those sources.
