Deja Vu

Cultural Marxism in action . . . divide and anger . . . divide and anger . . . stoke the resentment, rinse & repeat

Wait a cotton pickin’ minute!

Political correctness is such a corrosive force in our culture. Where does it ever end?

Then you think of comedy such as the old movie “Blazing Saddles”, which poked fun at various stereotypes and types of people. Many have said that they couldn’t make that movie today, because of political correctness.

Then you hear people like Seinfeld, who have said, he can’t do stand up comedy at colleges anymore, because of political correctness. He can’t tell many different types of jokes anymore, because someone is going to be offended.

Then you see what happens to people such as Paula Deen, who lost her entire career of books and TV shows about food, because she had said the dreaded “N” word at some point.

This world is getting too absurd.

The problem for the snowflakes, is that half the south over a certain age picked and hoed cotton. Black or white, everyone did it. My mom for one.

It doesn't have to make sense...they are waiting to pounce on anything their sick ass minds can twist into a racist remark. These bastards are the biggest racist of all!!!

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yes, I’ve heard that. I never lived down South, but have heard, that black and white both worked the fields. But mostly we hear of the legacy of slavery, and black sharecroppers struggling to earn a living, and then they create caricatures of slaves or black sharecroppers toiling away.

My fiancee’s parents are native Alabamians, they all worked in cotton fields as kids and this is in the 50’s and 60’s.

Davis, the play-by-play man, said while he meant no harm, he deserved what he got. "While unintentional, I understand and acknowledge the gravity of the situation," he said. "I offer my sincere apology and realize that, while I committed a lapse in judgment, such mistakes come with consequences.

At least the Red Army generals executed by Stalin after their show trials made the NKVD torture the confessions out of them. Geez, Davis, man up. Make them work for it.

[PGR88]

Brian Davis needs to be more niggardly in his speech.

[OregonRancher]

hehehehehehehe

We need a manual of some kind to keep track of all the taboos. I guess it would have to be in grid format and lay out who could use what words to who.

[Old Yeller]

Bet he would bave gotten 2 days if he had said watermelon eatin mind.

If you control speech, you control thinking. It’s a subtle version of thought control.

If you can’t talk about it, then you can’t think about it. That’s why the left is so freaked out about controlling our speech. The real goal is to control our thoughts.

[RatRipper]

In the words of Stalin:

Ideas are more dangerous than guns. We don’t let them have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?

[READINABLUESTATE]

I’m tired of this cotton pickin’ story.

[generally]

Good one. (or bad one?)

Good post!

[zencycler]

Yeah, we’ve got to avoid saying “cotton picking” since some folks can be so uppity.

He probably needed the job much like Anne Boelyn needed to protect her daughter (the future Queen Elizabeth II) when she declared Henry VIII to be a kind and just king before she was beheaded on fake charges of adultery which Henry's minions had concocted to get her out of the way so Henry could let his wild Johnson go roving again.
