B-Man Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Cancel Culture Comes for the Word: ‘Chief’ We are in the middle of a crazy purge where anything that offends anyone is being canceled or stricken from the record. Every where we turn around there’s another statue falling, another person losing their job because the mob has gotten them for things like being a stepmom or cracking knuckles. At what point do people start saying “Enough,” this is insane? If we go by history when there have been manias in the past, there’s a reckoning coming or a pushback. But apparently we’re not at that point yet, there’s another word that must be canceled for being offensive. On the block? Chief. The mayor of Duluth, Minnesota Emily Larson is moving on Monday to get rid of the word in any city job titles, claiming its offensive to Native Americans, proposing to change the name of the chief administrative officer to city administrator and chief financial officer to finance director. From Fox News: Duluth Mayor Emily Larson called on city council members to vote in approval “so that we have more inclusive leadership and less language that is rooted in hurt and offensive, intentional marginalization.” Alicia Kozlowski, Duluth’s community relations officer, told the Star Tribune that “chief” is used as “a racial epithet, and it turns into a microaggression.” She said the city is trying to be proactive about the change before residents ask. “I think that there are other titles that we have the opportunity to use to steer away from language that may put people down based off their race or culture,” said Kozlowski, who is a member of the Grand Portage and Fond du Lac Bands of Lake Superior Chippewa. So the very use of the word, not in any way putting anyone down, but as a recognition of people’s position, indeed the responsibility of their position, is now in and of itself offensive?

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.” (Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...

reddogblitz Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) This one takes the cake.for me. https://boston.cbslocal.com/2020/06/12/abraham-lincoln-statue-boston-mayor-walsh/ Quote “It doesn’t make you feel good,” said Boston City Councilor Lydia Edwards. Edwards, of East Boston told us she understands the artist’s goal was probably to lift people up, but she says for people who see it as a symbol of oppression, the message is lost. “It’s OK to see a statue in modern eyes. What was interpreted one way can be interpreted another way in the future,” she said. We talked to a few people in the area. Two white men told us it should be taken down. But a man of color from Dorchester had to take a long look at the piece. “If it’s a sign of submission, I would be against it,” he said. “But if it’s a sign of conversation or appreciation or acknowledgement, that’s something else.” I did a little internet searching ( about 2 minutes ) and come to find out its a replica of a statue in Washington DC. The original was paid for exclusively by freed slaves and black veterans of the Union Army. Quote The statue is a replica of the Emancipation Memorial (or Freedman's Memorial) in Washington, DC. The original monument was paid for solely by former slaves, according to the National Park Service. "The campaign for the Freedmen's Memorial Monument to Abraham Lincoln, as it was to be known, was not the only effort of the time to build a monument to Lincoln; however, as the only one soliciting contributions exclusively from those who had most directly benefited from Lincoln's act of emancipation it had a special appeal ... The funds were collected solely from freed slaves (primarily from African American Union veterans)" - the park service explained. When the original one was dedicated the key note speaker was Frederick Douglass. Douglass had some parts of it he didn't like, but evidently not enough to not make the speech. Quote To further recognize President Lincoln, a memorial statue was placed in the park in 1876. The statue was unveiled on April 14, the 11th anniversary of President Lincoln's death, with over 25,000 people in attendance. Frederick Douglass delivered the keynote address before President Ulysses S. Grant, his cabinet, and members of Congress. He discussed both his approval and disapproval of the monument. https://www.nps.gov/cahi/learn/historyculture/cahi_lincoln.htm Now we are cancelling freed slaves, black soldiers who laid their life on the line to free slaves, and Frederick Douglass because some people won't do their homework before getting outraged. It is Boston, so maybe I shouldn't be too surprised. Edited June 20, 2020 by reddogblitz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 YOU DON’T NEED A WEATHER VANE FTA: The college’s athletic teams, for example, then known as the Indians, were renamed the Big Green in 1974. At that time the trustees declared the “use of the [Indian] symbol in any form to be inconsistent with present institutional and academic objectives of the College in advancing Native American education.” One remnant of the college’s origins still sits atop the tower adorning Baker-Berry Library at the heart of the campus. It is a 600-pound copper weather vane that “depicts Dartmouth founder Eleazar Wheelock with a Native American smoking a long pipe near a barrel of rum and a tree.” In the tear down all the things phase of the current revolution, the weather vane of course must go. The Dartmouth Daily reports: You don’t need a weather vane to know which way the wind blows. Given the college’s disgraceful origins, I’m thinking it’s time for the whole damn thing to go.
