Having cake and eating it too in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Controversy erupted when a New Jersey ShopRite refused to customize a birthday cake with a two-year-old kid’s name. The name? Adolf Hitler Campbell. The child’s father, an admitted Nazi fan, argues his son is being subjected to discrimination. “I think people need to take their heads out of the cloud they’ve been in and start focusing on the future and not on the past,” said the father. “There’s a new president and he says it’s time for a change. Well, then it’s time for a change. They need to accept a name. A name’s a name. The kid isn’t going to grow up and do what [Hitler] did.” Forget the cake. Somebody needs to shove a pie in dad’s face.
• Newly released census data shows the number of two-parent Black families continues to grow, currently at about 40 percent. The increase may be partly attributed to an expanding Black middle class. No word regarding the number of Black parents naming their children Adolf Hitler.
• Cooper Tire & Rubber Company announced plans to close a factory in Georgia, cutting 1,400 workers. Executives should expect to get their tires slashed in the company parking lot.

One wonders what those execs are making.
Look for even more job cuts as the corporate economy "adjusts" back to sanity.
As for the Hitler story ... ugh. Ugly. It's amazing how unconscious human beings can be. And evil.
The best to you and this blog. It looks great!
