Finally, someone had the courage to say it out loud – racism is bad, and we are truly blessed that our celebrities, corporations, and politicians are willing to say so no matter what the cost.
Alvin York.
Audie Murphy.
That weaselly guy from Breaking Bad.
This is the pantheon of true American heroes. Except York and Murphy were much less heroic than Whatshisname, since they did not accept personal responsibility for their participation in the genocidal systems of oppression that your man-bunned TA taught you about at Goucher College. They were too busy killing krauts.
I say pull down their statues and scrub their names from history for their lack of wokeness.
Instead, let’s put up a statue celebrating the severe-looking gal who wears the Smart Girl Glasses™ that she must have borrowed from S.E. Cupp. I don’t know who she is, but she must have done some hardcore racisting in the past to be so repentant.
Yet, she has somehow found the courage to change. She is now against racism, and she is taking responsibility, and she wants everyone to know it.
That’s real courage.
She and the rest of her pals who star in stuff we don’t watch – I think I recognized three of the repentant responsibility-takers in that PSA – are fighting back against all those people out there in America who love racism, which these stars hate.
This has never happened before in all of American history, which began in 2008, and it is long overdue that someone has finally summoned up the strength to say “Racism is bad.” Luckily, we have B- and C-level celebrities to confront all the monsters out there loudly advocating in favor of racism.
Where would we be without Hollywood?
And we need to recognize the courage of the giant multi-national corporations as well. They too have bucked the current in society and likewise taken hard, lonely stands against racism. For instance, Sprite put out a statement against racism and it was a long time coming for this high-fructose corn syrup delivery system dealer to confront head-on the terrible legacy of racist racism, if not diabetes. Other companies have done the same. Credit card companies, insurance companies, adult diaper companies…these corporate freedom fighters have publicly, through their PR consultants, committed to not be for racism, even if not liking racism costs them the business of the giant, amorphous customer base out there that strongly supports racism.
And many of these companies are not satisfied with merely putting out generic statements. They are reaching out directly to their customers to make sure their patrons are aware of their nonconformist position against racism, confident that we need to be reminded that no, they do not like racism. Not one bit.
They seek you out by bombarding you with emails with subject lines like “At Fred’s Pizza Barn, We Think Racism Is Bad” and “Zit-B-Gon Zit Cream Stands Strong Against Racism.” And if your email program sends these vital communiques to the spam folder, it needs to check its privilege.
All this is necessary to help you navigate the racism minefield of American commerce, lest you accidentally do business with one of the many pro-racism companies out there. How many times have you had to rent a car, but found yourself wondering, “I wonder if this rent-a-car company opposes racism or whole-heartedly embraces it?”
All too often.
But no more. Because, in your inbox, there is probably an email from your preferred rent-a-car provider reassuring you that yes, your preferred rent-a-car company is against racism.
Phew.
That is a relief. Take that, all you rent-a-car companies that love racism. I’m getting my next Ford Taurus that reeks of feet and used sausage from a company that doesn’t just rent me cars but also rents me racial justice.
And all the cool politicians are on-board with not being for racism too. Did you see Nancy Pelosi’s creaky kneeling photo op? It was awfully nice of someone to help the 237-year-old Speaker of the House to her feet afterward. Getting out there in her kente shawl was not at all transparent and condescending pandering, but was instead a powerful rebuke to all those people who don’t vote her way and are totally racist, since she is loudly and clearly against racism. This was a photo op of justice, as opposed to the photo op by Trump in front of the church the leftists burned down, which was pretty much the same photo op Hitler would have arranged had he been Trump, which he literally is according to the smart people in the mainstream media who are not at all insane and who, as they will happily tell you, also hate racism.
It’s also nice to see all the mayors and governors assuring us that despite the risk at the polls, they too are against racism. Even our military senior leadership, flush from achieving strategic victory after victory during the last three decades, is making it clear that it is against racism. We can expect these generals to have the same massive success in ending racism as they had defeating America’s enemies in war.
Yes, it’s truly heartwarming to see all these people and organizations finally finding the courage to be against racism. But now it’s your turn – really, your duty – to make sure that everyone knows that you are against racism too. Frankly, if you are not constantly publicly announcing that you are against racism, the only logical and fair thing to conclude is that you are actively for racism. At least, that seems to be how this all works now. So, in your individual life, make sure that upon interacting with someone you clarify your position by stating, “I really hate racism and I am against it.” Otherwise, they will have to assume you are for it.
After all, when people tell you they are not something bad, they are never, ever trying to cover up that they, in fact, are that something.
the only racists i see these days are antifa, the kkk, skinheads, and black folks- infact- all the racist violence I’ve seen in the last decade or so, came from both blacks and antifa- who have rioted, burned, looted, assaulted, and murdered- wit near impunity- with near 100% protection from liberals in power who tell police to stand down-
Racism? You bet there is- it’s violent, it’s deadly, and it’s coming from the left, from antifa, and from the black community that support and get involved with the above mentioned deadly and destructive criminal activities
The left wanna ‘have talks’ about racism? Sure- as soon as they admit that THEY are responsible for the vast majority of racism we’ve witnessed in the last decade or so
Until they are willing to admit that THEY are the racists, that THEY are the ones engaged in deadly and destructive criminal activates, then they can go pound sand- That many black folks are exploiting the ‘racist moniker’ in order to be racists themselves- with near impunity and protection fro m their racist leftist leaders- then they can go pound sand- because they aint being honest- and don’;t want an honest dialogue about anything- they just want the right to submit to their racist agenda-
ASSton - er ASHton K was on social media recently emoting that “To some folks, black lives don’t matter at all.”
Sadly, the data is clear: Most of those to whom “...black lives don’t matter at all”are other black folks. White folks can’t fix that. Over 200,000 WHITE Union troops died trying!

Kurt is right, America has been racist forever because Orange Man bad! /s

and i don’t mean that all black folks are racist- but I do mean that quite a number are- Those are the ones you see beating the hell out of white folks, see them burning down buildings, assaulting trump supporters regardless of the trump supporter’s ages or genders they are the ones who murder police during riots- ambush them- run them over- etc- These are the bad elements in the black community- and they are the ones engaging in their own brand of racism- all while screaming about racism themselves-
Again- lemme know when the left truly wanna have an HONEST discussion about racism- because so far- it doesn’t appear that many do- they just wanna loot destroy, burn, murder and assault anyone that doesn’t support their own brand of racism
Apparently rascism is a disease we Americans can never get rid of. Maybe it’s just genetic to our DNA with no possible cure or vaccine.
Oh well. Time for bed.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I don’t recall these individuals standing up for the rights of Christians . . .those in the US and especially those including children around the world being physically tortured often beheaded/massacred for their beliefs and defending the cause of Christ.
Them Wyite Liberals are Rasis! Rasis to da bone!!
So stunning and brave.
>> ASHton K was on social media recently emoting that “To some folks, black lives don’t matter at all.”
No doubt the asshat supports PP.
What’s needed is a social movement of some kind to assert that most allegations of racism are just complaints about self-discipline being difficult and the general feeling that it would be wonderful if we had no rules and anybody could do whatever they wanted at all times. Life is not like that for people of any race. Some have been indoctrinated into thinking that because of past racial injustice (even if completely real) they are now entitled to take back and trample on property rights. There is no such entitlement and anyone who says there is simply advocates illegal behavior and makes a bad situation worse.
The Democrats have become the party of cheerleaders for bad attitudes and bad behavior, starting from the southern border (doesn’t exist, come on in) and ending up with an urban crime wave (help yourself, we’re all for wealth redistribution on an ad hoc basis).
Anyone who owns property and votes Democrat is an idiot.
If you’re talking about Ashton Kutcher—I’m sure he supports Planned Parenthood. Remember it’s his wife who said a couple years ago that she donates money to PP under Mike Pence’s name. They just put their house on the market the other day for $14 million. Why didn’t they give it to BLM?
Who are the three girls in the pictures?
>> Remember it’s [Kutscher’s] wife who said a couple years ago that she donates money to PP under Mike Pence’s name.
She’s proudly facilitating the atrocities against nascent life. I have no words...
Just yesterday, I watched a recent video of Mike Pence at a PA factory. He’s so well spoken, so honest. It was a heartwarming event that spoke to the commitment & tradition of the American spirit.
The issue is police brutality, police on steroids, police over the top power trips.
The issue is not racism, the issue is police brutality.
