Just for info.
There is a new Movie out that goes into the use of a "Code" when two people are talking. The Code supposdely says one thing that means another to the
Listener.
Gets a little Scary!!

The way I have seen the word "code" used in the media is this:
One group or another uses words or phrases that actually has an obscured meaning. They are saying one thing but actually the meaning is much more
extensive. They are saying a lot with a little.
The group may be a political action group, a religious group, a club, a bigoted group (KKK, Birchers,White Supremists, etc.) and many others that I
may not have included.
Unless you are a member of that group, on the surface you will not know what the real meaning is. In a way it is secret. Often, it can be figured out.
The media figures them out quickly.
The reason "code" is used is to soften or mask the real meaning which is more intense. It is often to comply with political correctness, when actually
stating something more severe.
Example: Tar Baby- Tar Baby goes way back in African folklore. It was also made famous in the Uncle Remus stories; a doll made of tar in order to
ensnare Br'er Rabbit. It is used commonly as a reference for a sticky situation. It is also sometimes used as a derogatory reference to African
Americans. John Updike used it as a reference to white women who like black men. |
That term has enraged generations of black Americans. Of course, you know that. Didn't Disney either edit Song of The South, or stop periodically
releasing it because of that term?

Yeah, and "enraged generations of black Americans" got rid of a restaurant chain, called Sambo's... Though the name was taken from portions of the
names of its founders, Sam Battistone and Newell Bohnett, the chain soon found itself associated with The Story of Little Black Sambo.
Surprised that we still have KFC's..... Oh the horror... a "Southern Colonel" selling chicken...
Or is in the cases of KFC, are we all just American's.... PERIOD

Jeez, all this politically correct crapolla(that's code for BS) has gotten old and moldy. Some folks see racism, sexism, anti-gayism, anti-anti...in
every every word or statement. Guess they just have a negative attitude.

I am finally gtting it!
It is like the word "Queer"".
When I was a Kid it meant someone that was a little out of the Normal. Had nothing to do with their Sexual orination until years later{After the 60"s.
Texting seems a little Queer to me as well as a Character walking down the Mall with his Pants showing the Crack of his ASS!!
Oh. Well sure glad I am Old!!

OMG! Sam Battistone and Newell Bohnett were friends of my Uncle....Alan Langlois of Langlois Flour Company (still in business in Upland). Uncle
supplied them the pancake mix and syrups. You knew my Uncle by any chance? Cousins run the place now.....Dick and Jeff
Your Sambo story is very true. They tried to change the store names too....If I remember correctly.
Sorry to sway away from the subject of this post.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Yeah...you got it!
But the word Queer is now a very negative definition of a Gay/Lesbian person IF used by a straight person.

Sambo's
Even the Original Sambo (Little Black Sambo) of the Kid's stories (which I received as a child on 78s along with the book) referred NOT to a Negro,
but an (East) Indian Boy.
For whatever that's worth.

The restaurant chain 'Sambos' (with an East Indian boy pulling a tiger's tail as a logo) had to change their name... to appease a special interst
group. This was in the 70's.
EDIT... just went to Bing and got this:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Sambo's
Restaurant Information
Established 1957
Current owner(s) Chad Stevens
Street address 216 West Cabrillo Boulevard
City Santa Barbara
State California
Country United States
Website sambosrestaurant.com
Sambo's is a restaurant, formerly an American restaurant chain, started in 1957 by Sam Battistone and Newell Bohnett. Though the name was taken from
portions of the names of its founders, the chain soon found itself associated with The Story of Little Black Sambo. Battistone and Bohnett capitalized
on the coincidence by decorating the walls of the restaurants with scenes from the book, including a dark-skinned boy, tigers and a pale, magical
unicycle-riding man called "The Treefriend."
By the early 1970s, the illustrations depicted a light-skinned boy wearing a jeweled Indian-style turban with the tigers. A kids club, Sambo's Tiger
Tamers (later called the Tiger Club), promoted the chain's family image.
History
A former Sambo's in Alpena, Michigan, now occupied by Big BoyBy 1979, Sambo's had 1,200 outlets in 47 US states. However, in the late-1970s,
controversy over the chain's name drew protests and lawsuits in communities that viewed the term Sambo as pejorative towards African-Americans,
particularly in the Northeastern states.
Several of the restaurants were opened as or renamed to "The Jolly Tiger" in locations where the local community passed resolutions forbidding the use
of the original name or refused to grant the chain permits.
[1] In March 1981, in a further attempt to give the chain a new image the company again renamed some locations, this time to "No Place Like Sam's".
[2] By November 1981, the company filed for bankruptcy.
[3] Neither the name change nor bankruptcy protection reversed the downward trend, and in 1982 all but the original Sambo's at 216 West Cabrillo
Boulevard in Santa Barbara, California, closed their doors.
[4] 618 of the locations were renamed Season's Friendly Eating by February 1983.[5]
Battistone is also the original owner of the New Orleans Jazz in the NBA.[6] He later moved the team to Utah and sold it. Battistone's grandson,
restaurateur Chad Stevens, owns one of the only remaining Sambo's.

Each restaurant manager was given a percentage of the operation....to retain good management. That arrangement was stopped after having been in effect
for years. Many left Sambo's. This was a major factor of their downfall....words from my Uncle.
Oh...they got a website up now...

Coffee at Sambo's
Working right down the street in Indio Back in the early 70s, Coffee and Breakfast at Sambo's on Highway 86/99 was a regular Stop.
Met my first (known) Illegal alien there.
The Manager.
After becoming fairly good friends, sitting with us one morning he confided that he'd been offered a position in Corporate Management, but feared
taking it and possibly triggering a further background check because "I don't have any Legal Papers".
No idea what happened to him when they finally closed down. Good guy. Smart, articulate, great personality. We often mused that he might have put
out a greater effort BECAUSE he was "undocumented".
The last Sambo's I remember in the area was Palm Springs at Highway 111 (Palm Canyon) and Vista Chino before it became a Bakers Square.
That's gone, too. Stopped there a couple of weeks ago and it's now some sort of Ethnic Restaurant. Italian, I think. Whatever. Since I don't eat
Ethnic food as such, it doesn't matter.
Speaking of "Black" Sambos, I've noted before that I thought it was a curious sign of other times, that Agatha Christie's novel "Ten Little Indians"
was originally published in Great Britain as "Ten Little ******s" which seemed to be their term for ANY of those minority races.

Date shakes can cause sever neck/head trauma. I suggest you dont shake your date. Shame on you.
