The Insane "Social Justice" Thread II

[rhino]

The hypocrisy is blinding.

The sad thing is, Sadiq Khan probably doesn't see even the slightest inconsistency. In his brain, limiting free speech if someone's feelings are or might be hurt is either bad or never happened depending on whose feelings are in question.

Plus, the idea that actual freedom of speech exists in the UK is laughable.

A professor claims that a show about eating hot wings “creates…inequitable gender hierarchies.” She is part of a vocal minority who sees oppression everywhere. There is no fact-checking—journalistic, scientific, anything.

In 2005, Blizzard changed the name of the Maine Coon (an real breed of cat) in World of Warcraft to 'Black Tabby' because of ignorant people complaining about racism - just a reminder that this crap has been going on for a long time...

I wonder if there is a way to solve this problem... perhaps we could have all women to enter theses games to be... covered up... with some sort of garb?

But what would we call it

And Sharia seems inevitably to lead to Burqa . . .

Can you name one country that requires it?

I guess we'll see when the World Cup is in Qatar in 2022.

Pretty good.
Too bad the people that need to read and understand that, will do neither.

Of course they won't read it...anything that supports a different (and usually correct) position is considered propaganda.

I got the white-folk discount on my air filters, I guess? Didn't see it on the receipt, though.

I suppose they don't get into any socio-economic discussion.

I'll remember that next time I'm at the mill.... tomorrow. Sucking in all that good, fresh, clean air.

Air.

To be honest, there is a little something to that. But I’d say that its more an issue of poverty than specifically race. Making energy and making stuff is dirty. No one wants dirty in their back yards. Residential areas adjacent to industrial areas are often the cheapest areas to live because of that. So the poorest people often can only afford the areas with the dirtiest air.

Of course living anywhere around Louisville you’ll be smelling some nasty air no matter on which side of the tracks.

This.

The headline is sensationalist, but the crux of the issue holds true as Jamil points out.
