Do you think the lefts new cultural standards are going to become the norm?

[JoeB131]

Bullshit. LOL

Brady would be on the chopping block like Meyers Leonard is in the NBA. Perfect example.

Well, not a perfect example, since he actually used an anti-semitic slur. LeBron repeated bits of a lyrics someone else wrote.

Meyer also had shoulder injury and was pretty much useless as a basketball player.

Come on, you guys try to give Trump a pass every time he reposts some racist garbage from some Neo-Nazi.

I can give LeBron a break for something he immediately apologized for.

Nicolas Cage makes B movies now too as does Bruce Willis. Sometimes old actors just aren’t as wanted but Gibson is still making movies

Nicholas Cage is making crappy movies because he's dead broke from overspending when he was an A-lister. HIs career went downhill because he made poor career choices. Mel was sabotaged by the Jews who didn't like him pointing out they killed Jesus. (Jokes on them, Jesus never existed. Kind of awful you guys have been getting shit for something for 2000 years you didn't even do.)

You’re insane yet again. Take your meds.

Um, okay. Then we also need to eliminate people who are hired because they are the owner's idiot nephew or the boss's drinking buddy or they are sleeping with a manager.

The problem is, white privilege is already affirmative action for white males.

None of what you just said has any damned thing to do with one's color. Try and do better. White priveledge is a Damned myth created by the left. If it was true by your thinking, and the above that you wrote is what has been the norm, then it's unbelievable how this nation became so modernized by having nothing but your stereotypes running it for hundreds of years. Feeling kind of stupid yet ? Well you should be.

Are you a retard. Um, yeah, all those things have to do with race if the person giving out jobs are white to start with.

For instance, I worked at a company where they created a position of "scheduler", because someone figured out that I couldn't do both scheduling and buying. It was a violation of Sarbanes-Oxley if I could both buy the material and expend them in work orders. So they hired a guy who was the drinking buddy of the General manager. No qualifications for the job. Problem was, they had to eliminate a position in the purchasing department. Who got let go? The black lady. Of course, the guy was kind of useless, and I was still stuck doing a lot of his work and I got stuck with the black lady's work as well.

So. Yeah. White privilege is a thing. Deal with it.

You've been busted. LOL

 

[beagle9]

Back when y'all thought America was great, the period you want to Make America Great Again like,

being politically correct in what one said and did in public, was considered NORMAL and expected, for everyone, not just for the Who's Who.

What is different today, is social media, where we each can give our 2 cents opinion on it, and somehow blame a political party for it.... or gossip with strangers about it, or make mountains out of mole hills on it..... or dismiss it all!

You mean like this.

 

[JoeB131]

You’re insane yet again. Take your meds.

Your concession is duly noted. You guys cancelled Mel Gibson.... didn't you say Cancel Culture was destroying America?

He is making movies. He isn’t cancelled.

 

[JoeB131]

He is making movies. He isn’t cancelled.

He had a ten year gap where he wasn't making movies, and most of what he makes now is C-list, direct to video stuff.

You guys cancelled him. I should have added him to my list... except I was fine with cancelling him.

Huh? Not true. Actually Hollywood is mostly leftists so they cancelled him if anything.

You spelled "Jews" wrong. Come on, this should be a moment you are proud of. You guys stood up to a guy who was a Nazi and caused him to lose his job. Enjoy it. Revel in it. Just don't come bitching to me when someone "cancels" someone you like.

 

[struth]

Nearly each day we hear about some high profile or media personality being canceled for something they said or did in their distant past. People having their lives turned upside down because of things they said or did as a teenager or young adult. You know, that point in ALL OUR LIVES where we say or do stupid shit in a rebellious manner as we all seek out our own individualism/identity. Something that the new left seem to find HIGHLY offensive (individualism)

Just imagine us if we were younger and the internet existed during our formative years.

Most of us were fully grown by the time the internet came around but what would happen if our identities and posts on USMB were exposed and connected to us as individuals?
Our online personas do not define who we are. For me they are a mere outlet to be snarky without the chance that anyone actually gets personally injured or offended. Yeah, I have some opinions that don't mesh with others. We all do. At some point the pendulum will swing back and YOU may wind up on the cancel block. Our individualism is what makes us a unique species. Seeking to destroy that will lead to our downfall.

Can we recover from this cancer that is currently consuming us?

I'll give you a hint, is Cheech and Chong still cancelled from Reagan's woke drug war?

um the "drug war" started long before Reagan. The Federal Govt started outlawing drugs and locking people up in 1914...it was a Dem President Woodrow Wilson that made it law: Harrison Narcotics Tax Act - Wikipedia

Hollywood is mostly leftist. I stand by my statement.

Except the leftists didn't care about Mel's views until he started angering the Jews. He was a top-notch star making blockbusters like the Lethal Weapon series and Braveheart. Then he made Passion of the Christ, and man, the Jews had it out for him after that.

Come on, man, enjoy it. You cancelled an anti-Semite. Not sure why you aren't embracing the moment, other than you guys are suddenly against "Cancel Culture" when it comes to all the Nazis who supported Trump getting theirs.

Cancelling anything is stupid. Again, Hollywood is mostly leftist. You can’t deny that so per usual you deflect.

Local groups want more KCI work for minority businesses

Kansas City’s new $1.5 billion terminal is getting some pushback from minority and female owned businesses. They say the developer isn’t living up to its promise.

www.kctv5.com

Where I am at there is a very large construction and landscaping company. They couldn't get government contracts because the owner is white, so the guy started another company and brought in a black partner. Then they started getting lots of government contracts. Long story short the FBI arrested and charged the owner with fraud and he was found guilty about a year ago. It should be illegal for government to discriminate based on race and gender but they get away with it.

Not as long leaders are allowed to lie with impunity. You were happy to let Donald Trump run roughshod over the truth on a daily basis, and you SAID NOTHING.

Except no one objected to Cancelling Mel at the time. They were all totally fine with it.

Yes, because Hollywood is part of the cancel culture. I am a Jew and I didn't believe he should have been cancelled at all. Luckily he rebounded. I believe in free speech without repercussions unless that free speech is a threat of violence or unwanted advances.

I am the same here as I am in the real world.

I for one will never call a he a she, or accept Socialism as a valid political system.

I am essentially a product of a solid education and sound parental direction. The rest is by my own hand. I have no interest in trading my culture of individual liberty for their collective puerile nonsense, and will not.

"I aim to misbehave."
- Capt. Mal Reynolds

I refuse to accept the status quo of our current govt. and aim to misbehave and have for fifty years.

Good Trouble.

Uh, no, guy, he didn't rebound... His career is nowhere near what it was.

The problem is, we as a society confuse celebrity with merit. We put more stock in the opinions of celebrities on important issues than we do in experts in the field. Let's not call Farmers to the congressional hearings on the farm crisis, let's call actors who've PLAYED farmers.

Mel Gibson wasn't a theologian, but a lot of people watched his silly Jesus Torture Porn and thought, "Yeah, the Jews really did kill Jesus."

He is older? Is Bruce Willis’ career where it was before?
