The money quote:

Quote
And there's the Broadway play, The Great Comet: its producers quickly backing down from using a bankable star to save a struggling show - only because the star was deemed by activists to be the wrong color. If the show closes because of that, then many actors of all stripes, genders and colors will be out of jobs.

But it's perfectly okay to have black and Hispanic actors portraying real historical figures who were really, historically, white.

I was in Starbucks over the weekend and there was a guy there with the obligatory piercings and hipster man bun.

I so wanted to grab that *expletive deleted*che knot and use it to whack his head into various hard objects.

I'm sure that my disgust and anger are Trump's fault.

If by phobic you mean I hate the damned things and all they represent, then yes I am.

It's properly called a "*expletive deleted*che Knot."

It's kind like when you tie off the top of a trash bag.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
