The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

Damn! Look at all those racist countries out there past America’s borders. They all require a photo ID in order to vote. Hellfire! Some, e.g., India and Iraq, even physically mark voters after they cast their ballots.
Let’s face it; if requiring Voter ID is racist, as the Dems keep claiming, then these are a bunch of racist countries. Of course, you’ll never hear a Dem or likely Dem voter claim these countries are racist. Much like so many other “racially charged” things, the Dems only believe it’s wrong if America does it.
ROFLMAO! Yeah, that’s about the size of it. In the spring a young ghetto thug’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of rioting, arson, looting, raping, murder, rebellion, and race war.
Well, actually it’s not. The Blacks have been rioting essentially non-stop for over a year. The Dems’ media just has largely stopped covering it, either out of national boredom with this “new normal” or as an effort to protect the Biden-Harris regime from political fallout.
Hollywood’s been a den of iniquity and anti-American sentiment for many, many years – since its inception for the former and since the 1960s for the latter. Hence, why actions have been taken against them in the past. Still though, even with that long history of wrongness, Hollywood can manage to shock my sensibilities. In this case, it’s their new, “woke” requirement for the Best Picture award.
Forget the quality or “importance” of the film. First, its creators have to meet all the racial, gender, and sexual proclivity quotas for its creation. 🙄 And, ever so ironically, this is likely the beginning of Hollywood’s very own Blacklist.
Ah, Florida. The Sunshine State will always have a “special” place in my heart… and my spleen, and my liver. It’s the home of Florida Man and now apparently Florida Woman as well. 😉
Or not…
As eyerollingly funny and sarcastic as this is, it’s totally inaccurate. The woman in question, Helen Ann Williams, is actually from South Carolina! And, she used a ceramic squirrel.
It’s never a surprise when one or more of the womyn of The View howl out some sort of offensive and stupid screed. Doing that is what their show is all about. Still, sometimes one of them goes far enough to be noteworthy. In this case Joy Behar.
Yeah, Behar’s Whitesplaining about how America is woefully racist to Sen. Tim Scott – who quite definitely Black – is noteworthy for its idiocy, arrogance, condescension, and actual racism.
Now, Tim Scott, he does not seem to understand — and a lot of them don’t seem to understand the difference between a racist country and a systemic — systemic racism. They don’t seem to get the difference. Maybe it’s not a racist country. Maybe Americans, the majority, are not racist. But we live in a country with systemic racism.
The fact that Tim Scott cannot acknowledge this is appalling. How can you go out there and say that when you just said two minutes ago that you were the object and the victim of discrimination? And then, he says this is not a racist country. At least acknowledge that there is systemic racism. That’s what I wanted to hear from him, and he didn’t say it.
Then, this bit of hooting and screeching is coming from a womyn who both wore “blackface” to an event and defended it as “‘dressing as a beautiful African woman for Halloween.'” And too, her audience is primarily made up of the same sorts that derided Senator Scott as being “Uncle Tim” because he wasn’t enough of a Field Negro for their tastes.
Still though, unless Behar, her ilk, and her audience are going to claim that, due to Scott’s apparent lack of sufficient hatred for America and White Race, he’s not a Black, this is Whitesplaining and very much not Staying In Her Lane.
Funny, I thought the above behaviors were each and all enough to get the zealots of #CancelCulture out in force. Hmmm….
