RED EYE - JUNE 25, 2014 FULL EPISODE



Greg welcomes guests Richard Grenell and Carley Shimkus.

Your paint may be racist
Please make it stop.
First they came for Black List, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Rejigger, Providence Plantations, Black Friday, Gobbledygook, Illegal Immigrant, Undocumented Immigrant, Master Bedroom, Chink in the Armor, and even the use of white copy paper and brown bagging it to lunch.
Politically correct speech has become an Albatross around our necks.
Then they came for the paint, and there were few words left to defend it.
Fired employee sues paint company over racist paint names:
A black man in New Jersey has filed a lawsuit against his former employer, Benjamin Moore Paints, which he says named one of its paint colors after him and then fired him when he complained.
Clinton Tucker, who managed online sales for Benjamin Moore, which is owned by the conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, said that he was bothered by the names of several of the company's paint colors, "Clinton Brown," "Tucker Chocolate," and "Confederate Red."
"Being a black man named Clinton Tucker, the plaintiff found this to be extremely racially offensive," reads the complaint, filed in Essex County Court.
PLEASE MAKE IT STOP
