The idea of a person "being offended" gives them authority over others is insane.

The only speech which needs to be protected is offensive speech.

If speech does not offend anyone, it does not need protection.

Oh. Well saying those are offensive to you is offensive to me.

I care every bit as much about the offense you’ve taken as you do mine.

Trying to apply the Race Card to any situation the racists desire.

I love it! Keep up the hyperbole as it dilutes the power of race hustlers.

Redneck, cracker, MAGAt, Teabagger, White Supremacist, far right, alt right, Nazis, KKKlan, Rethuglican, Repukes, etc.—all these terms and more are thrown around by the Left.

I guess you’ll just have to get over it.

white privilege is meant to be divisive

i thought woke was a LEFTIST term they use to describe themselves

it must be like “fake news”

they created it and then wanted it stopped once it was used against them

Woke is the perfect term. That’s why we are using it all the time now. Until the woke virus goes away.

Woke is a term they labeled themselves as, not a term someone else applied to them.

Was I slightly off-key with “woke”? How about Hot Woke Garbage instead?

“Woke” is more concise than “cultural Marxist”.

What about just plain “commie.” How could that be offensive, unless commies are “bad?”
