Snowflakes? You decide.Steve Martin's 'King Tut' Sketch Is Racist, Liberal Arts Students Say

Nope. Binary is those, mostly RW, that only thinks there are 2 options to every issue.
As you are asserting in this thread.

 

Well the boycott must have worked because no one went to see it and it bombed.

 

Why don't you read what the thread is about before opening your yap?
It's exactly opposite. It's the - Twinkie eating - left wing - gender confused - progressive snowflake that's complaining about King**** Tut.

Steve Martin’s seminal “King Tut” sketch is being blasted as cultural appropriation by a group of students at a prestigious liberal arts college in Oregon after the classic "Saturday Night Live" parody was played in a humanities course.

 

Source please.

 

That has nothing to do with it.

Growing up in very diverse NY, we used to poke fun at each other all the time. Now you can't say anything.

With political correctness and sexual harassment concerns, all we talk about is the weather. America in 2017 is so boring.

 

So you fauz right wingers like George Carlin and you like all the "real" liberals from the 60s and 70s?

that makes no sense...

 

The only humor you can think of is racist?

Maybe it's you that is boring.

 

There were all sorts of cultural breakthroughs on TV in the 60s and 70s...

for example:

The Golden Age Of Blacks In Television:
The Late 1960s

Seems to me any right winger would mostly hate the cultural revolution of the 60s and 70s...far more than worrying about "snowflakes" being too PC when there is still tons of un PC stuff around...another un PC show...South Park.

 

You never met a hippie, therefore the massive liberal influence on culture never happened?

And you are extolling the liberal freedom of culture in the 60s and 70s...something that right wingers tried to crush?

It makes no sense.

 

I guess they don't understand. That culture is long gone.

 

Political correctness is far more than stifling racist speech. If you say anything that may offend anyone, you can be terminated. In corporate America, we're all walking in eggshells.

If you don't understand this, then you're clueless.

 

Hippies eschewed personal responsibility and sought hedonistic, selfish pleasure. It sounds great if you're 12. That's not how I wanted my kids to turn out.

 

So you rely on Hollywood to direct your attention to social mores.

 

You aren't capable of poking fun at one without degrading them? Attacking their heritage?

 

So in other words, you'd be as pissed off in the 60s and 70s as you are now.

 

Poor baby.

 

I had two best friends growing up in NY. We were all fourth generation Americans, but my ancestors were from Germany & Sweden, one had ancestors from Italy, and the other had ancestors from Ireland. We were really into cars. I remember kidding the "Irish" guy that Sweden produced Saab and Volvo, Germany had Mercedes and BMW, and Italy had Lamborghini and Ferrari. I asked him "what did you dumb Irish ever make"? I was joking and he knew it. It was meaningless fun.

Try something like that today and you'd be toast. Gone.

 

The Irish made whiskey.

 

I'll take that to mean you have no idea what corporate America is like.

 

Yes, that's a very good response.

 

Right, and the moronic attitude of .0000307% of the US Population who identify as KKK/White Supremacists means all Trump supporters are racists.

Thou doth protest too much.....

 

Our destruction will not come from some foreign entity. It will come from within.

 

What I meant by it is I don't feel sorry for snowflakes who think they are walking on eggshells because they can't make racist jokes at their f*cking job.

 

That is so far from reality. I pity you.

 

You are the one seeking pity, but you get none from me.

Speaking of the word "snowflake", did y'all know that it had this meaning. Kind of ironic:

In Missouri in the early 1860s, a "Snowflake" was a person who was opposed to the abolition of slavery—the implication of the name being that such people valued white people over black people. The Snowflakes hoped slavery would survive the country's civil war, and were contrasted with two other groups. The Claybanks (whose name came from the colorless color of the local terrestrial clay) wanted a gradual transition out of slavery for slaves, with eventual freedom accompanied by compensation to slave owners; the Charcoals—who were also called Brown Radicals—wanted immediate emancipation and for black people to be able to enlist in the armed forces.
