I am up to here with Political correctness!!

[TitoFan]

I've listened to a few comedians that feel force to lecture audiences- which I dont like but understand. They are the final frontier. If we get offended by comedians, damn. No way could Richard Pryor had made it in this day and age.

No way Andrew Dice Clay could've made it in this culture of softies. I'd bet that if this scene were done to day, every liberal, gay gay-liberal advocacy group would call for apologies and lost of jobs...

I've thought about yesterday's comedians a lot too. You're right... a lot of them wouldn't be allowed to exist in today's hypersensitive world.

You see, here's the thing... and I'll keep harping on this.

We humans should be capable enough to discern between good ol' fashioned fun, and purposely offensive acts and words.

We've lost the capability to laugh at ourselves, probably driving the comedians of the past into the dustbins of history.

Comedians of the past used to begin with making fun of themselves... before making fun of everybody else. And their audiences were as diverse as could be. ALL kinds of people in the audiences.

That's all in the past now.

The pendulum has swung so far to the left, that people find themselves literally having to walk on EGGSHELLS so as to not incur in one of the great social sins of today.

Meanwhile... the evil of racism persists.

For the umpteenth time... WTF good is it to force name brand changes on 100 year-old products... while out in the real world many of the REAL racist practices and attitudes persist??

People have lost their common sense, and their ability to differentiate between what is meaningful and productive..... and what is token and superficial.

Put a Band-Aid on it, and let's keep moving. Nothing to see here.

this thread is making me feel like we are in a Room Full Of Mirrors and Trap Doors and Overly-Complex Interconnected Confusion where nothing really means what it just used to mean a few short years ago but then again, things still mean what they've always meant; as mentioned above, somehow the band-aids have become the "cures" and the real cures have become too obscured by narratives, alternative facts and agendas and just people I think becoming lazy and numb (not saying that about any of us). I dont see any end in sight. How far it goes remains to be seen. They say history repeats itself, so somehow it all comes back around again? Ya got me.

The P.C. Brigade can fuck right off as far as I am concerned.
They are totally irrelevant to my life.

I wish I could say the same. repeating myself, but when comedians I like- who typically vote democrat are worried their jokes have to be vetted, wow!

They got the power to force apologies on gay jokes, don't want Christ in any discussion, don't want products with old time names like Uncle Ben...but they are ok with a gay rapper promoting homosexuality and lap dancing for the devil- to our youth.

Let's see I can say nigguh, black bitch, but I can't say candypants girly man, cause its offensive to gays.

YOU can say it, B, but if I say it, then what? Everything is so messed up now, its unnatural. PC is destroying the human spirit.

"Baseball team refuses to change controversial name"

Recently, several sports teams across the nation that were previously named after indigenous groups have changed their name and branding, including the Washington Redskins changing to the Washington Commanders and the Cleveland Indians changing to the Cleveland Guardians. But the Indianapolis Indians of minor league baseball won’t be changing their name.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Indianapolis Indians announced that they will be keeping the name they’ve had since 1902 and have entered a partnership with the Miami Nation of Indians of Indiana, who encouraged them to keep the name.

“We are grateful to the Indianapolis Indians for the opportunity to share our story with Hoosiers throughout central Indiana,” Brian Buchanan, Chief of the Miami Nation of Indians of Indiana, said in the announcement. “When the history of Indiana is studied, the major influence of Native American people is seen in the names of Indiana cities, state parks, rivers, food, celebrations and other cultural points of interest. We have encouraged the team to remain the Indianapolis Indians.”

The team said that the new partnership will include a land acknowledgment, recognition of Miami veterans during Native American Heritage Night at the team’s stadium, support of the Miami scholarship program, and fan educational opportunities.

Oh-oh... There's gonna be trouble.

I can almost hear the PC brigade marching down the streets of Indianapolis in angry indignation. Didn't Indianapolis get the memo?? Although to be quite honest... I'm shocked that the Atlanta Braves (Major League Baseball), Kansas City Chiefs (National Football League), and Chicago Blackhawks (National Hockey League) have yet to feel the wrath of the PC Gestapo.

So the Indianapolis Indians had better get with the program. Except, wait... Where the hell did the State of Indiana get its name?

Damn. It's pretty clear its origin has to do with the American Indians whose lands were taken by the settlers. Oh shit. It's only a matter of time before the PC Brigade turns its attention to the name of the actual State.

But hey... I'm on it.

TitoFan is nothing if not prepared.

So for all you PC-conscious people out there who are offended by the name of the State of Indiana, I give you...
