ROPE

I raised Longhorn cattle for 25 years. Rope, especially those with a loop on one end, was essential to our work.  Today I’m hesitant to even pick up a rope, especially one with a loop on one end, for fear I’ll be branded a white supremacist racist.  Yet, lots of rope is used by the “protestors”(anarchist hoodlums) to pull down and destroy dozens of statues of historical figures in the name of racial equality.  Even short pieces of rope with a hand loop attached to a garage door used to pull it down are racist symbols.  Is there anything they can find that is not racist?  Poor Will Rogers.  He and all his cute rope tricks would brand him a white racist today.  They’d care less he was mostly Native American.
