HBO removed Gone With the Wind although Hattie McDonald was the first black to win an Oscar for her portrayal of Mammy.

Pelosi wants 11 confederate statues removed from the capitol building.

Since when do we remove everything that might offend someone instead of using it to educate.

It isn't being removed permanently.

Do confederates represent the United States?

How can Germany educate about the Holocaust without statues of Nazis?

So you don’t have anything to say about my last statement, only a snarky comment about what you think my ancestry might be. All righty then.

I thought “Lady A” sounded familiar. That must have been where I heard it before.

I read that as well. She's had that name for over 20 years. The band was supposed to reach out to her.

That’s good. I’m sure it wasn’t intentional and they’ll work it out.

The call to cancel Paw Patrol was a joke on Twitter that certain individuals on the right decided to become upset about. It’s an instance of boomers attempting to use the internet and completely missing the joke that flew right over their heads.

Cable channels are pulling real life cop shows, re-enactment type police shows, etc. They canceled Cops which is the longest running series on tv ever, 30+ years. There's even a kids cartoon show called 'Paw Patrol' that shows cops (dog) in a good light that the sick lunatics want pulled.

This insanity has got to stop. People need to get over themselves and to hell with 'white guilt'. It's a totally made up concept that has caused Americans to lose their effing minds. No one thinks for himself anymore.
