There are lots of stories or examples of things going on that come out pretty frequently displaying the insanity of the progressive woke lunatics that don’t necessarily need their own thread or fit into one of the other existing threads. Post them here. [Reply]

You almost had me fooled at this distinction without a difference.
Be that as it may, Babbly is pro-tranny and I assumed he was not. So I acknowledge that fact now. Once he sees trannies in competition he will become an advocate. His firmware will be updated and he will be on board for this too by 2030. [Reply]

"The word 'trigger,'" they write, "has connections to guns for many people; we can give the same head's up using language less connected to violence."...
I feel like this university has had similar instances of insanity but I can’t recall what for.
However, they shockingly get one right here. They want African American replaced with black (though they specify it must be capitalized but I don’t). Black people born here are no more African than I am Irish. Time to drop that term that they enjoy keeping for emotional purposes (you stole us from Africa!) They would be better suited to view themselves simply as black people living in America or black Americans, or now we are getting crazy here, simply Americans. [Reply]

Nice try, WhitePowerRodeoTard.
I am neither pro or anti any 'identity.' I'm individualist, and as such identities are an irrelevance at best and anathema at worst.
If there are pursuits that are open to all, I don't except out any identities on principle. If things are sequestered for good reason [toilets, baths, competitive sports, etc], I don't support de-sequestration on principle either. [Reply]

African American has always been a stupid label. [Reply]

As black friends of mine from England, France, and the Caribbean put it to me during a discussion we were having on the subject:
"I wasn't born in the U.S.. So how the hell can I be an "African American"? [Reply]

Just when you think a conversation can’t get any more ridiculous. [Reply]
