    Hey people!!  Let's get back on track here!!

     

    Star Wars.  

     

    Darth Vader wears all black. He is also Luke's father.  Luke appears white, but should self identify as a black man because James Earl Jones, a black man, is the voice of Darth Vader. Racist movie.

     

    I'll repost since nobody canceled Rosa Parks yet.

    NY was one of the original 13 colonies so it must go.  We now will have impossible steak - a double win as farting cows are eliminated.....Green New Deal baby.

     

    I am surprised this lasted this long: white-out.

     

    Oozes white privilege when you use white out to censor the written word.  Especially when the word is written in ink colors that match the skin tone of any non white human being, except orange.  And "out" is obviously offensive and violent towards the LGBTQ community.

    Lincoln was shot by a racist who was angry that Lincoln was going to give blacks the right to vote. 

     

    In 1858 Lincoln had to run against a race baiting hate monger and unfortunetly had to play to the racist voters. Sad I know. That's one of the GREAT benefits to this demographic change we are living through, we can have a political party that doesn't need to pander to racists anymore. 

     

    Like everything else, you're doing this wrong.   The racists of the mid nineteenth century must be judged by the societal standards of 2020.  No wiggle room.  No nuance.  Douglas, Booth and Lincoln were all racists.  Cancel everything.

    Cancel the confederacy and cancel Lincoln too. Cancel 1861-1865...

     

    From Lincoln's Speech, Sept. 18, 1858:

     

    Quote

    "While I was at the hotel to-day, an elderly gentleman called upon me to know whether I was really in favor of producing a perfect equality between the negroes and white people. While I had not proposed to myself on this occasion to say much on that subject, yet as the question was asked me I thought I would occupy perhaps five minutes in saying something in regard to it. I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the black and white races -- that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making VOTERS or jurors of negroes, NOR OF QUALIFYING THEM HOLD OFFICE, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any of her man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."

    Buffalo Bill was a racist and slaughtered Indians all the time. His name should be struck from history and all branding with his name on it.

     

    Brown sugar.

     

     

    Once while out to eat, the waitress brought me brown sugar instead of white sugar. Now had she brought the white sugar i had prepared myself to deal with the white guilt that clearly comes with using white sugar as a sweetener. However, brown sugar was just a step too far. Brown sugar is the name of a popular rock n roll song that refers to slavery in our country. All references and mentions of that time in history must be canceled! Furthermore, that rock n roll band are all old, rich white dudes. All in all, brown sugar is straight up violence.

    So whines the cretin planning to vote for the draft dodger who threatened to turn US cities in "battle spaces" and then had the National Guard tear gas peaceful protestors so he could march across the street for a photo op for his re-election campaign.   Don't brag about supporting the Constitution and Donald J Trump for re-election.  They are mutually exclusive.

     

    So whines the a-hole who chose to believe in BS unproven nonsense.

     

    Trump is a blowhard a-hole.

     

    He's also a blowhard a-hole that was framed by our intelligence agencies. 

     

    You picked a side. You chose wrong.

    How, exactly, is voting an incumbent politician out of office somehow considered "trying to remove him from office based on made up BS that violated the constitutional rights of multiple American citizens"?   If you're referring to impeachment, well, I suggest you investigate the impeachment of Bill Clinton in the 1990s if you want to talk about politicians violating "the constitutional rights of multiple American citizens".

     I'm referring to the BS Russia collusion nonsense that began during his campaign, continued through the "peaceful transition" of power and right on through the the first three years of his presidency.

     

    You either believe we live in a constitutional republic ...or you don't. Pick a side.

    actually I'm here because I think donald trump deserves any bit of snark and reality I can throw at he and his supporters...Im not a crusader for all things political like a lot of PPP folks are except where he is concerned. I'm free to add to and discussion I choose and not to others. Its as big a mistake for me to label all Trump supporters as deplorable cultists as for you to assume all that oppose him have lockstep views as far as liberal views are concerned either. Its whataboutism at its finest. Why must folks be pigeon holed and assumptions made just to prove "rightness"  or "wrongness" everything is not so black and white ......welcome to political chatting..

    Lol "except where he is concerned".  So in other words I'm not a political partisan unless it deals with the sitting President...which makes you a political partisan.

     

    I get why people hate Trump, I really do. I didn't vote for him for many of the reasons people hate him. But I will vote for him in 2020 because the American people are absolutely allowed to elect an egotistical blowhard a-hole. All of those things describe DJT. None of those descriptions justify trying to remove him from office based on made up BS that violated the constitutional rights of multiple American citizens.

    one is an indoor venue with plans made well in advance. You are assuming that I agree with large outdoor groups gathering, possibly being infected and spreading it to others..I said no such thing,.anywhere. Prove that I  "approve" or large scale groups gathering during a pandemic, I'll wait about 30 seconds and then move on why? Because it doesn't exist and you can't

     

    Red Herring. 

    Ok. Should we expect to see you shortly in the liberal protest thread condemning all those mass protest gatherings just like you are here, or nah?

    Jimmy Kimmel announces summer leave amid blackface controversy

     

    ABC's Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday announced he will be taking the summer off after facing criticism over wearing blackface in a recurring skit he performed while working on "The Man Show" on Comedy Central.

     

    Kimmel, as a co-host of the "The Man Show," performed a recurring skit that included him dressed in blackface as then-NBA star Karl Malone. Videos and photos of the skits on the show, which ran from 1999-2004, have been circulating online recently with calls for Kimmel to apologize.

     

    "I'm taking this summer off to spend even more time with my family," Kimmel said on Thursday night from his home studio. "There's nothing wrong. I'm healthy, my family's healthy, I just need a couple of months off."

     

    "While I'm gone, a cavalcade of very kind and capable people will be filling in for me," the 52-year-old added.

     

    The announcement from Kimmel comes after rival "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon recently apologized for a blackface skit he did on "Saturday Night Live" in 2000.

     

    “In 2000, while on SNL, I made a terrible decision to do an impersonation of Chris Rock while in blackface,” Fallon said on Twitter in late May following the police killing of African-American George Floyd in Minneapolis. “There is no excuse for this. I am very sorry for making this unquestionably offensive decision and thank all of you for holding me accountable.”

  11. Three  Five years ago an article entitled "The Coddling Of The American Mind" was published in the Atlantic.  It described the rise of cancel culture on campuses, how it came to be and what to potentially do about it.  At the time, conventional wisdom dictated that students who believe that words are violence and who seek to cancel uncomfortable ideas different from their own would be in for a rude awakening upon entering the real world.  Unfortunately, it's now clear that the media, corporations, politicians and pop culture are all too eager to endorse this mindset now that these young people have entered "adult" society en masse.  They described this cancel culture mindset as vindictive protectiveness. Welcome to 2020.

    A few excerpts:

     

    Quote

    Something strange is happening at America’s colleges and universities. A movement is arising, undirected and driven largely by students, to scrub campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that might cause discomfort or give offense. Last December, Jeannie Suk wrote in an online article for The New Yorker about law students asking her fellow professors at Harvard not to teach rape law—or, in one case, even use the word violate (as in “that violates the law”) lest it cause students distress.

     

    Quote

    The press has typically described these developments as a resurgence of political correctness. That’s partly right, although there are important differences between what’s happening now and what happened in the 1980s and ’90s. That movement sought to restrict speech (specifically hate speech aimed at marginalized groups), but it also challenged the literary, philosophical, and historical canon, seeking to widen it by including more-diverse perspectives. The current movement is largely about emotional well-being. More than the last, it presumes an extraordinary fragility of the collegiate psyche, and therefore elevates the goal of protecting students from psychological harm. The ultimate aim, it seems, is to turn campuses into “safe spaces” where young adults are shielded from words and ideas that make some uncomfortable. And more than the last, this movement seeks to punish anyone who interferes with that aim, even accidentally. You might call this impulse vindictive protectiveness. It is creating a culture in which everyone must think twice before speaking up, lest they face charges of insensitivity, aggression, or worse.

     

    Quote

    The dangers that these trends pose to scholarship and to the quality of American universities are significant; we could write a whole essay detailing them. But in this essay we focus on a different question: What are the effects of this new protectiveness on the students themselves? Does it benefit the people it is supposed to help? What exactly are students learning when they spend four years or more in a community that polices unintentional slights, places warning labels on works of classic literature, and in many other ways conveys the sense that words can be forms of violence that require strict control by campus authorities, who are expected to act as both protectors and prosecutors?

     

    Quote

    However, there is a deeper problem with trigger warnings. According to the most-basic tenets of psychology, the very idea of helping people with anxiety disorders avoid the things they fear is misguided. A person who is trapped in an elevator during a power outage may panic and think she is going to die. That frightening experience can change neural connections in her amygdala, leading to an elevator phobia. If you want this woman to retain her fear for life, you should help her avoid elevators.

     

    Quote

    Attempts to shield students from words, ideas, and people that might cause them emotional discomfort are bad for the students. They are bad for the workplace, which will be mired in unending litigation if student expectations of safety are carried forward. And they are bad for American democracy, which is already paralyzed by worsening partisanship. When the ideas, values, and speech of the other side are seen not just as wrong but as willfully aggressive toward innocent victims, it is hard to imagine the kind of mutual respect, negotiation, and compromise that are needed to make politics a positive-sum game

    .

    Quote

    The biggest single step in the right direction does not involve faculty or university administrators, but rather the federal government, which should release universities from their fear of unreasonable investigation and sanctions by the Department of Education. Congress should define peer-on-peer harassment according to the Supreme Court’s definition in the 1999 case Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education. The Davis standard holds that a single comment or thoughtless remark by a student does not equal harassment; harassment requires a pattern of objectively offensive behavior by one student that interferes with another student’s access to education. Establishing the Davis standard would help eliminate universities’ impulse to police their students’ speech so carefully

    well established bro-science, or well established (pregnant pause) bro (pregnant pause) science (pregnant pause) dude! 

     

    I'm not sure if "bro-science" is a thing but if it is, I want no part of anything approximating sausage science. 

     

    Much love to Toastmaster's International for the 'pregnant pause' and clarity all around. 

     

    broscience is typically used in the exercise science and/or nutrition field by meat heads who expound on anecdotal observations as proven scientific fact.  In this case it perhaps doesn't really apply to the media, Trump and the risks associated with covid19 since the media doesn't really worry about broscience, psuedoscience or actual science.  They just engage in hypocrisy whenever it suits the narrative.

    Seriously...I realize the clip was cut off as Acosta blathered on, but he's a dimwit.  He starts in with ....those people are protesting...presumably implying that if tens of thousands of people are infected and die, it's acceptable to him personally. 

     

    It is amazing that he can continue with a straight face. 

     

     

     

    People who are protesting anything that is also supported by the liberal media express less ACE2 receptors on their epithelial cells. Whereas heathens who gather at a Trump rally have consituitive overexpression of ACE2 receptors, thus rendering them far more likely to become infected and spread the disease.  This is all well established bro-science dude!
