Social justice warriors are very tolerant and practice peace and love, and that’s why they hate you and want you dead. Because you’re evil.
Wichita Restaurant Sparks Outrage With Pro-Gun Stance
Racist!
[Owner Paul Cohlmia] said he was surprised by the uproar, especially since the sign has been hanging in the window for 10 to 12 years. He’s the type of guy who has all kinds of friends with all kinds of opinions on issues, he said. And they can always agree to disagree.
Most of the responses on Facebook have been okay, he said.
“But some of it is just flat out telling me I’m a bigot, …
Yeah, he’s probably white, too. Any properly woke citizen would tell the racist pig to die in a fire.
While we’re improving the world, let’s burn some books!
Racist!
Yeah, this would be low-hanging fruit. Surprised she hasn’t been banned altogether…
Wilder is best known for her “Little House on the Prairie” novels, which the ALSC has stated “includes expressions of stereotypical attitudes inconsistent with ALSC’s core values” based on Wilder’s portrayal of black people and Native Americans.
Uh, yeah. She lived when and where, exactly? My own knowledge of LIW’s work is far from encyclopedic but by coincidence Landlady lent me one of her books just last year. I found her depiction of a harrowing prairie winter – evocative, to say the least. But I’m pretty sure that even then Indians who spoke English at all didn’t really talk-um like that. It took me out of the moment briefly – but, you know, Mark Twain’s characters called black people n*ggers because it was a common word in the 19th century, not because Twain was any more bigoted or evil than anyone else in his period. By all accounts Laura Ingalls Wilder was a perfectly nice old lady and throwing her on a pyre at this late date would seem less than entirely tolerant – if it weren’t the tolerant thing to do. Which, somehow, it is.
Look! Ringside seats for the collapse of western civilization! Who’s bringing the popcorn?
Meanwhile President Trump pardons Jack Johnson but he’s still the racist…somehow.
Interesting times.
Cohlmia is not ‘white’ like you and I are ‘white’, as in, you and I are Northern European white (I’m a true WASP). Cohlmia is either of Lebanese or Syrian extraction depending on which member of the family you talk to.
And if they lived during the time period they would see nothing wrong with the language or societal norms.
Okay, lets set the goalposts *HERE* for the next 20 minutes. Hey it’s World cup fever!
as i recall the ingalls family received treatment for malaria from a black doctor.
no hint of racism, except for laura’s p.i.a. mother who hated indians.
and that was just reporting the truth.
when the indian man told laura’s dad and the other men about the severity of the coming winter he used sign language. very kind of him to warn them.
i love those books. and i’m part indian. no offense taken by me and none intended by the author.
