It’s similar to the Khymer Rouge executing everyone wearing spectacles, “because they are the intellectuals and the elite”.

Will read later.

But the left is driven to destroy anything good. And Mary Poppins is good. The new Mary Poppins is not good.

The first time I ever saw “blackface” when I was a girl, was Sammy Davis, Jr. Everybody laughed and for several years, I only saw blacks wearing blackface, as comedy routines.

I just watched this film about 3 weeks ago after, maybe, 35 years of not having seen it. What a wonderful movie! Full of magic and joy as well as the wacky contradictions of Nanny Mary Poppins - such as powdering her face with coal dust. The author of that dreck should be drummed out of Harvard.

“Brown/Black” is trending for Demorats ahead of the election in every venue......pushed out front and center by Hollywood and media.... Take away racism and name-calling, and Democrats are bankrupt for vocabulary.

“Phoenix restaurant says this is a photo of coal miners. But I see hallucinate offensive blackface,” Thomas complained. “[...]A business’ photograph of men with blackened faces culturally says to me makes me have aural hallucinations of ‘Whites Only.’”

There, fixed it!

“Does Daniel Pollack-Pelzner, a member of the faculty at the University of California Dickens Project, really not understand the role of the chimney sweep in British life? Or British class structure? Did he somehow manage to get a PhD in English at Harvard without ever once encountering Blake’s The Chimney Sweeper “a little black thing among the snow”? Did he think Blake was referring to blackface?”

Anyone here read The Water Babies by Kingsley? Lots of “black face.”

Color over accomplishments is the drive trending....all part of the Demorats usual tactic and now using color to garner votes for the next election. Unfortunately the colored folks are eager to get on any bandwagon that will ‘feature’ them individually as well as collectively.

How far we have come (as in downhill) since 1776. We are a nation gone mad. It is very difficult to look at these evil people. Unfortunately they reproduce.

What if a black working in a bakery has white flour on him/her?

How do you tell the difference between a blue collar worker and a white-collar worker? A blue collar worker washes his hands before he uses the urinal.

I think Bogart might have had a little black face on during one of those Treasure of the Sierra Madre scenes.

Let’s be honest. We know that the left can tell the diff. These utterly laughable articles are from folks on the left who are not even approaching three digits IQ, but still have wrangled journalism and academic positions from newspapers and universities that have abandoned standards.

All standards.

The sad thing is that leftists are so very easily defeated when we are informed. And the way to know that they are defeated is that they will use one of their typical insults (racist, denier, phobic, etc), or they will intimidate.

This will continue until we give them back what they give us in triplicate.
