It’s bad when Walt Whitman isn’t woke enough for the new woke. Heck, Even Cornell West lost tenure at harvard.

Is Walt Whitman black and the white queers aren’t giving respect to how queer he is because he is black? (Actual story that was heard yesterday from a whiny crying snowflake post on a SM account).

There is a bridge near Philly named after Walt Whitman.

I guess this is bridge-a-phobia. Bridges are now offensive.

I predict this: Soon, very soon, all the “MLK” Highways around the USA will be renamed George Floyd Bvd.

That was my first thought.

Do these idiots even know that Walt was gay?

I bet his guest didn’t stay limpsy and weak for the whole visit.

I remember a newspaper headline from years ago, “It Creeps, It Crawls, It’s Camden”. I never knew having a statue of a poet was what caused it to be such a hellhole.

I guess the poor old guy couldn’t resist whatever the 19th century equivalent of embarrassing tweets was ...
