B-Man Posted August 23 Posted August 23 Racist Clean-Up, Aisle 7! Some White Guy Said 'Kumbaya' Beege Welborn When someone, something, or a cause is running out of air, the reflexive over-action is often the exact opposite of the effective action needed to rectify or to relieve the situation. Such seems to be the case with the various woke crusades and progressive causes as the air slips out of the balloons that had held them above any remonstrance, retribution, or rebukes that would have scuttled lesser supported and coddled indulgences. Woke, DEI, BLM, LGBwhatever, the climate cult, ad nauseum - all the instantly recognizable crusades and alphabet monikers that have lorded it over the rest of society for years are finding their reach shrinking more every day, their funding evaporating, and the respect with which the immediacy of their demands is indulged vaporized. Most have responded by being even louder and more aggressively hysterical in the face of waning public appetite and approval for their message and antics. Everyone is pretty much over all of them. We want normal, rational, civilized, and decent back. Quote ...As someone who has taught Black history, I want to educate folks on, not only why this comment is offensive, but how it encapsulates liberals in this moment. Kum ba yah, in the Gullah dialect of coastal South Carolina and Georgia, translates to “come by here,” a heartfelt plea to God to come to the aid of those in need. During the civil rights movement, those marching from Selma to Montgomery for voting rights for Black Americans sang Kumbaya while marching. This is the type of historical context that continues to be erased right now with the race to the bottom voter disenfranchisement fight... Since when are we not allowed to use 'kumbaya' as we always have? I thought the Gullah origin story was interesting, but it's not confirmed according to Merriam-Webster, most probably coming from the old spiritual, which was first transcribed and recorded in 1926. Nowhere does it say the term is exclusively reserved for the use of a selective minority, nor that it is 'anti-black' to use it as it has been for the past at least sixty years, I'm aware of. I'm sure longer. In fact, there's a whole article about how it came to be part of the American - AMERICAN - lexicon. {snip} Why, one might think you were trying to manufacture an injury where none existed. Like, you were full of it or something. There are enough serious wrongs in this world without inventing more out of whole cloth simply because no one is paying attention to selective screeds anymore. No one has time for that, and we no longer have to pretend we do. This sorry BS is Exhibit A of why we're not. https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2025/08/22/racist-clean-up-aisle-7-some-white-guy-said-kumbayah-n3806067 1
reddogblitz Posted August 24 Posted August 24 We used to sing Kumbaya in our predominantly white Catholic church in the 1970s in Texas. Were we racists for doing that? 1

B-Man Posted August 26 Posted August 26 Your Race Card Has Been Declined: Al Sharpton Says Trump's Crime Crackdown Unfairly Targets Black Mayors Amy Curtis Yesterday, we told you Washington, D.C. is in the midst of a string of days where there were zero homicides in the city. Yes, ZERO. And, as we've reported multiple times, the usual victims of homicides in the nation's capital are young Black men. That means for ten days, those young Black men's lives were saved. But the Left hates Donald Trump more than it likes saving lives, so they're really mad he's taken a tough-on-crime stance in D.C. and other major cities. Al Sharpton, ever the race-baiter, says the President is motivated by racism and only targeting Black mayors. https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2025/08/25/al-sharpton-trump-is-only-targeting-black-mayors-n2417877 1

Which leave democrats mumbling to each other about authoritarians. It's an effective end-around strategy and makes the libs look weak and. Impotent. 1 1
