I know I haven't been highly engaged on the forum for a little while, but I don't remember rob being this much into the super anti-PC/SJW stuff? This and the Sargon thing, just wasn't expecting it is all.

And yet, you don't.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I don’t exactly know what’s going on here. I think people are reading a lot more into my words than I’ve actually said. I’ll be hitting the old dusty trail.

Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.
I' ve found blackface funny - at times.
A couple I was friends with owned a bar. Mixed race marriage. They came to the Halloween party - she in blackface, he in whiteface - and both sorta crossdressed. They came as each other. Fun people - with outstanding sense of humor....
Losty:
I’m curious what context you think there might be where blackface wouldn’t be offensive. I think you might be missing my point. I was speaking in generalities. Just because someone takes offense to something, doesn't necessarily mean it is offensive. Even, black face. If black face was portrayed in a historical sense, it would not be offensive. It's something that used to happen, talking about it, or showing it, is not offensive. People might not like it, but so what? |
