Telling racial jokes will soon be a crime. Stand-up comedians will be a thing of the past. Heck, even the color white might be banned from cars one day.

Hyperbole? Maybe.

But not extremely far-fetched, anymore.

Johnson & Johnson will stop selling its Clean & Clear Fairness line of products, sold in India, a spokeswoman told Reuters. It was reported earlier this month that it would drop its Neutrogena Fine Fairness line, available in Asia and the Middle East.

Race card, race card: Where for art thou, race card? Well, if you’re freshman Democrat lawmaker Rashida Tlaib (MI), you always have one in your back pocket like an ace up your sleeve.

After all, the race card is good for any argument, in any situation, at anytime – ever!

Someone disagree with your point of view? They’re racists, obviously. Contagious disease ravaging the world economy? Clearly, racist.
