I guess this sticker was a thing on Instagram for about 2 minutes, before the backlash forced them to remove it.
Most complaints centered around the sticker being racist although everyone knows that claims of racism do not apply to people of melanated skin being accused of being racist against people of non-melanated skin. And clearly if we are to amplify melanated voices we need to simultaneously mute non-melanated voices.
After all, isnt that what cancel culture is all about? As long as non-melanated voices voice the approved narrative of the melanated voices, they cool man.
No honey, you cant think
But let a melanated voice wander off the plantation and disagree with the melanated mainstream they too will be canceled.
Men like Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele and Walter Williams, all with decades-long bodies of work columns, books and speeches are completely unknown to many Blacks. All marginalized and ignored by MSM. Effectively cancelled by the Left as far as their exposure to Blacks is concerned.
But back to the original sentiment that started this weeks brew-haha: Mute White Voices. This is simply the end point of a very long campaign. Anyone who has a son of Millennial age or younger can tell you that mute white male voices has been a thing in schools for a couple of decades or so. Its simply been expanded now to include the female variety of the white privileged class as well.
But man, this is getting confusing: you have to be woke but how can you virtue signal your wokeness if youve been put on mute?
Make up your mind!
Im sure well get this all sorted eventually. In the meantime if we are going to start muting white people may I recommend we start with the Karens?
Its kind of sad that Andrew Klavans 2009 video remains to this day evergreen.
JUST SHUT UP!
