Autumn even after the sugar dissipated ya made me laugh

Here is a short podcast or section of podcast on the anti-woke viewpoint.

Unseen,

“Would you say “Nazis, KKKers, other hate groups” are more the rule or more the exception to the rule?”

I would say depends on the demographic. Also when political climate skews toward fascism and reactionary forces strengthen those numbers grow closer to the rule.

Robert, it would be interesting to see how many Foxophiles have come to realize they were being played.

Unseen’s devil:

“I’d like to think most people lack wicked intentions. Micromanagement of others’ speech or actions is resented and is why wokeness is controversial and, sadly, it’s what the woke don’t get or don’t care about.”

Nazis, KKKers, other hate group individuals lack wicked intentions? Oh i see. Their objectives are benign? They didn…[Read more]

Robert is spot on.

In terms of terms…avoid utilizing in public historically offensive and invidious descriptors. (In private if friends/family kibbitz and use racial slurs without malice provided kids in earshot understand then it is fine) As to new takes on offensive it is less important but if you can avoid it in public then avoid it.

yeah i am a moron. I own it.

rhonjon, you’ve copied text without adding your own!

“In my early youth, in the 50’s, blacks were referred to as “spades” becsuse, presumably, spades were a black playing card suit. Of course, there were other words for blacks like “coons” and “jiggs” or “jigaboos.” By the 60’s, with the civil rights movement and advances, such terms were largely out of use along with “nigger.”

Race is…[Read more]

Unseen: Is bigotry a mere colloquial vocabulary choice or an intended use? Words and expressionse that once had racist meanings: “peanut gallery,” “paddy wagon,” “mumbo jumbo,” and “off the reservation.”

Mumbo jumbo? I don’t know the derivation. Bigotry is a set of ideas that typically include stereotypes and depict out-groups as having certain…[Read more]

Unseen: Undoubtedly, some will survive any nuclear holocaust and, as the saying goes, “Anything thst doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” After we receive our collective Darwin Award, we can look forward to being ever better at being human

Have you read about the survivors of Nagasaki and Hiroshima? Yikes. Much better to have been annih…[Read more]

rhonjon,

Here i am surprised others can’t make connection between gypped and gypsy and i am not sure i ever did between animal husbandry and husband.

I was surprised to learn Jamaicans use the word Pickney in Patwah for children. It is an obvious derivative of Pickaninny. Pickaninny was term slave owners used for Black children and later used…[Read more]

Planets are not eternal. Throw that in your journal.

Another human. Yeah i fuckin well believe we share 99 percent…

Call a spade a spade. I have a foggy memory of that phrase being a public issue some time ago. I think many are unaware of any bigotry associated. The racist term i have heard on and off since childhood is gypped. You must know that one if you are an American. “That son of a bitch gyped me!” Just like spade a spade oft times the speaker knows not…[Read more]

Oh i’ve seen her on tv. I can’t help but have a visceral aversion. She is just so…

Second lady i don’t know but i may be able to get past my misgivings of all things religious.

*woops…forgot about efficacy of prayer experiments

Not only undefined but where is the scientific adventurer who is seeking proof of ANY religious BS. I think there have been experiments perhaps to see if there is a weight reduction upon death or a visible soul exiting the corpse. Not aware of any other searches for heaven, hell, devil, other angels…any of it.

rhonjon, IDK whether there is a formal place. Nor do i care. Please regale us. I always find those things interesting. You could do it on status update or wherever you fancy.
