LOL! Thank you Mr Cleese. Feel sorry for the sxsw folks? Never! Disdain/contempt/scorn come to mind and there's plenty of that for the self centered hoity toity virtue signaling assclowns. So, was everything powered by renewables this time? Were all items associated with petro products banned? Probably not.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

The punch in the turd bowl.

I love it. Here in Tulsa there is a huge reparations campaign going on versus the Race Riot years ago.

Digging up grave yards(not finding squat) and seeking reparations in the name of the game.

I’ll remember this little diddy if I ever decide to add a comment to our local news site. I’ll be royally flamed.

John Cleese has always been good at making absurd statements - for the very purpose to show how absurd they are.
Good for him. I agree.

[The Louiswu]

Didn’t Rush say something like making a point with absurd examples or some such.

Mr. Cleese, I’d like you to meet Dr. Cosby. He can tell you some of what your future is likely to be.

Will blacks in Eastern Oklahoma demand the Cherokees pay reparations for the black slaves they owned, and hanged for the 1842 Slave Rebellion?

Blacks have already been kicked off the Cherokee roles as being true Cherokees.

They already tossed the Chappel ‘juicy’ line.

“…This is getting so uncomfortable,” asking if the panel was “a new Dave Chappelle special?” Chappelle too has a bad habit of saying things good progressives find icky…”

My Anglo side wants reparations from my Saxon side.

The Irish side is too drunk to care.

The Viking side is headed for the boats !

If you are only 1/2 black or 1/4 black do you get less money or write yourself a check?

[jmacusa]

Cleese is an ahole. I saw him in an interview where he called Republicans ‘’racist’’.

[Verginius Rufus]

"It's a history of people who were stronger beating up people who were weaker and it's always been that."

Cleese sounds like he is plagiarizing Thucydides' "Melian Dialogue."

And now for something completely different.

A woke music festival in Texas.

Then there is also the fact that Britain was one of the first nations on the planet that outlawed slavery, and enforced that where they could.

elRushbo believed in demonstrating absurdity by being absurd.

My wife's family has Irish and Scandanavian lineage. Besides the Irish temper I gotta deal with that Nordic Warrior Princess thing😃😃

I have less problem with an “equal opportunity offender” like Cleese than I do with someone like Obama or Aunty Maxine. At least Cleese points out we should ALL take a look at ourselves. If he’s wrong about me, then he’s wrong. I can take it.

But you are right - the Democrats have done more to harm minorities than anyone.

[jmacusa]

Cleese comes from a culture that for much of it’s historty was a rigid class system.

This guy calling Republicans racist is something I like to ram up his backside.
