More Democratic Hypocrisy

[kalm]

I'm not sure I've ever banned a book and the word that you could argue that I've demonized is retard. I don't like it and don't use it but I don't think I've ever stopped communicating with someone who did. I don't have an issue with an individual who refuses to buy or read a book or doesn't like a word. I do take issue with someone in a leadership position advocating for banning books and demonizing words. That is censorship and no true liberal should support censorship. What is the difference between banning Harry Potter or Dr. Seuss?

Why do we need to try and erase from our collective memory things that we find offensive. Wouldn't it be better to include Peppy Le Pew in Space Jam and use his boorish behavior to demonstrate to young women how to stand up to that type of behavior and to young men how not to behave? Why did Nike cancel the Betty Ross sneakers rather than saying we're taking it back, we're not going to let white supremacists hijack a symbol of our founders and a great woman. What would be worse for those white supremacists? Nike canceling the shoe or Nike selling them with a strong marketing message and African Americans wearing them?

Holy crap you could actually write a paragraph before you became inflicted with TDS

TDS accusers…often projecting and utter failures at understanding community and freedom. Keep on being you. You’re going to hate this country and its real history even more in a few years.
