Quote
Left-wing radio host [guy with gratuitously obnoxious name] suggested on Wednesday that ViacomCBS terminating its relationship with Nick Cannon following remarks by Cannon that were viewed as anti-Semitic and anti-white was proof that Jewish people “have the power.”

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I guess black people have no power at all. You can say whatever you like about them, and no one's ever been fired for it!

John Muir has been cancelled:

https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/The-Sierra-Club-speaks-out-against-its-racist-15426416.php

Quote
In the statement Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune said that Muir "made derogatory comments about Black people and Indigenous peoples that drew on deeply harmful racist stereotypes, though his views evolved later in his life. As the most iconic figure in Sierra Club history, Muir’s words and actions carry an especially heavy weight. They continue to hurt and alienate Indigenous people and people of color who come into contact with the Sierra Club."

No word yet if they'll be changing the name of The John Muir Society.

Heh. He was the hero of hippies everywhere. No liberal* worth the name has not hiked the John Muir Trail and talked about how awe-inspiring it was and about all he did for the environment. Waiting to see how long it take for them to erase the name of that well-known trail.

*Conservatives too. I've backpacked a portion of it and it's awesome. I'm sad thinking about whatever lame new name it will end up having.

I'm pretty sure the plan is to name everything in America the U.S. of Native America after George Floyd. After all, he is the One who knew no sin, and died to save us from our sins.

Rep. Gohmert Calls on House to Rid Itself of Any Reminders of Slavery – Such as the Name ‘Democrat Party’
https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/craig-bannister/rep-gohmert-calls-house-rid-itself-any-reminders-slavery-such-name-democrat

Quote
Gohmert’s resolution calls on Congress to ban any political organization or party that has ever held a public position supportive of slavery or the Confederate States of America – and for Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to remove from the House wing of the U.S. Capitol or any House office building any item that names, symbolizes or mentions any political organization or party that supported slavery or the Confederacy.

Looks like they (sorry -- "they") want to cancel English:

Quote
Twitter, which is saturated with woke-campus paranoia, this month announced that it was blacklisting the word “blacklist,” along with other supposedly “non-inclusive” terms such as “grandfathered” (ageist, I guess), “guys” (too gendered) and “sanity check,” which is something most of us could use a little more of in our lives, but Twitter desperately needs on a daily basis, the way Uma Thurman needed that adrenaline shot in “Pulp Fiction.”

WATCH: WNBA Players Walk Off Basketball Court When National Anthem Starts Playing
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bronsonstocking/2020/07/25/watch-wnba-players-walk-away-when-national-anthem-starts-playing-n2573117

"WATCH"...

No, I don't see any reason to break my streak of never watching the WNBA now that they are offensive as well as boring.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

What I'm hearing in the left wing environmentalist/outdoor industry is they want to rename all outdoor spaces with the original indigenous peoples name for the place.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Wow.  It's a good thing Native American tribes never waged war on each other and conquered land, or it could get real confusing to figure out which name to use for a spot.

You evil non-indigenous invader, you!
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

"outdigenous" - is that jazz club slang from the 20s? Because that would be outdigenous, my man.

I think we should just go to numbers for everything so as not to offend anyone.

“Welcome to Publicly Owned Wildlife Area #27”

“Go Team #33!”

“Entering Urban Area #113 of State #9”

Of course we would have to skip 88 since it is code for Heil Hitler.
