If we're going to cancel everybody who ever harbored a racist thought or committed a racist deed, or even created the appearance of same...

...when are we going to get around to canceling Malcolm X, who, at least for part of his life, preferred the KKK to mainstream civil rights leaders.

Related (ostensibly satire, but 100% true): "Democrats Clarify That Black Lives Will Only Matter Until November".

Btw, do germs discriminate on the basis of color? "Oregon county issues face mask order that exempts non-white people".

Noose update Bubba Wallace wants to continue pretending there was a noose. I mean, man, there's just gotta be!

Mark my word: neckties are going to be the next thing to go, because triggering.

Racism is relative but from the US (in the media) you may not historically have been able to see it. After WW2 there was a flood of mostly English migrants into Australia at first, and although we made friends with some we remarked on their hygiene, emotionalism and food. 'Whingeing Poms'. 'Where's the best place to hide money from a Pom? Under a bar of soap'. Apologies to any fellow Paconistas, but just to use a strong example.

I've said Andrew Bolt as a Dutchman would have been villified at school here. My old high school had daily fights between 'wogs' and 'Aussies' in the 1970s even.

Yet the weird thing is how the whole world suddenly thinks it's a black and white thing, US culture now dominating social media.

So Oregon wants black people to die?
And I'm the racist.
