    Yes.... the frenzy is out of control. Soon the left will be demanding that anyone who knows someone who knows someone else who saw someone in blackface be fired.

    Let's keep a running list of the all the people being fired.

    Teacher who wore blackface for Bob Marley Halloween costume may get fired

    Blackface furor envelops politicians, even Gucci. But the list of offenders is long

  4. First we must punish everyone for the sins of the past with our new found morality. Let the cleansing begin. It's the only way to acknowledge our privilege. White guilt and self loathing are at a fever pitch.

  5. You don't think blackface is offensive... If everyone who did something very stupid and public in the past should keep their jobs and suffer no repercussions, then what is the list of actions that should be excused and which should be punished?

    Blackface
    KKK membership
    Sexual Assault
    Negligent Homicide
     
  6. I think when people put blackface, sexual assualt and homicide all in the same vein my point has been proven.

    Well if you are a Democrat in office then I guess any of the above can be forgiven.
     
  8. Republicans are exempt?
     
  9. The point is what level of past transgression is forgiveable and which is not which is why I put a spectrum. The fact that people dismiss blackface raises the question, what is offensive enough to warrant you being removed from a PUBLIC office.

    Some of these acts happened in a different time. Like when All in the family and Archie Bunker would say racist jokes and people would laugh.... hahaha I remember the reruns as a kid because my dad loved that show and one of the ways I was taught English Hahahaha .

    Oh yeah and when George Jefferson was allowed to say Honky :D while moving on up to an east side apt in the sky.
