...my point...the Censoring is happening on ALL FRONTS. We are at war...

A war would imply that more than one side is fighting. We aren't at war. We are appeasing and capitulating. The left is winning.

The more lefties try and censor, the more people will want to get whatever they’re censoring.

The one thing they cannot ban is my memory. I had a black nanny when I was a child in the 60’s. Her name was Tillie. I called her “mammie”. My family was certainly not of any means, but those were different days, like when you had a milkman and doctors made house calls. I vaguely recall how my family helped her out. When we got our first color TV, she was given our old black and white set. All I have is fond memories of her, like taking walks to the drug store to buy penny candy or a pretzel stick. At Christmas she would give my family a basket of oranges from her family in FL. I remember her showing me on a map where FL was. (It was a jigsaw puzzle of the 50 states.) Somehow that was a big deal, at least it was to her and that made it a big deal to me. It’s weird how I can remember little things like that and I can’t recall things from last week.

Of course we can. Because it's already happened. Remember in 2016 La La Land won the Oscar?

Yet Moonlight was selected to appease the liberals.

Liberal-run schools have been extremely effective: Unthinking, brainwashed zombies are everywhere. There was a time when this result might have been averted by conservatives getting involved in these institutions, but that never happened to a significant degree. The problem has now become so extensive that I see no way out other than removing the clueless vermin from this planet. Does anyone truly believe they can be reprogrammed, or that “civil society” will reassert itself and put them back in their box?

The puppet masters pulling the strings of all these useful idiots have been quietly hollowing out civil society from within for decades. Now the zombies they created are finishing the job by very publicly gnawing on the hollow shell that remains.

Likely a few loud mouth busybodies complaining, just like usual.

Hilarious.

Even pander-fest movies are not woke enough.

By election day, only self-immolating pedophile cannibals will be woke enough.

Netflix should get rid of “To Kill a Mockingbird,”
“Glory,” “A Soldier’s Story,” “In the Heat of the Night,” and “Ghosts of Mississippi” too. Too many white saviors helping black people in those. I’m sure there are many more.

Particularly hilarious since Spike Lee (IIRC) has already denounced the “Magic Negro” character trope in films.

The Magic Negro is the black character whose only purpose in a film is to enlighten or somehow be of help to white people.
So— if Magic Negro AND Helpful White Person are both racist tropes, then ALL movies are potentially racist and any movie already made with both black & white characters must be reviewed & probably removed from circulation.

Plus we must outlaw the making of ANY future movie without prior approval of the Central Committee.
Yay!

If they demand it be removed then ... make a sequel!

No more “Magical Negroes” in movies, too.
