You can’t entice people into communism without first erasing history.
Next target it bound to be Randy Newman for Short People.

Not to mention “Rednecks.”
Brothers, sisters, when this world began
There was work to be done
And it seemed that someone
Left it to the colored man
Brothers, sisters, what must be, must be
Though the balance is wrong
Still your faith must be strong
Accept your destiny
Brothers, listen to me...
Someone had to pick the cotton
Someone had to pick the corn
Someone had to slave and be able to sing
That’s why darkies were born
Someone had to laugh at trouble
Though he was tired and worn
Had to be contented with any old thing
That’s why darkies were born
Sing, sing, sing when you’re weary
And sing when you’re blue
Sing, sing, that’s what you taught
All them white folks to do
Someone had to fight that old Devil
Shout about Gabriel’s Horn
Someone had to stoke that old train
That would bring God’s children to green pastures
That’s why darkies were born
Without the sort of shaming of society operative in the writing of That’s Why Darien We’re Born there would have been little progress made against racisim. Racisim went entirely against Patriotisim abs Judaeo/Christianity.
the title of this article is brilliant...unfortunately, we will never be "woke enough" until every last lunatic leftist is satisfied they got their way...IOW, we will never be woke enough
Kate Smith, who is being wrongfully decried by some as a racist today, is the one who brought Josephine Baker, the singer and civil rights activist to American television when no one else would. Baker had been forced to take her talent to Europe in the 1940’s. It was the great Kate Smith who brought Baker back to America in 1951 and featured her on her TV show, “The Kate Smith Hour.” This was not the work of a racist.
This is exactly why even those conservatives with no sympathies for the Confederacy ought to oppose the PC Left's efforts to tear down Confederate flags and monuments. The "woke" Left isn't going to stop with Confederate symbols. Today it's a statue of Stonewall Jackson, tomorrow a statue of George Washington will be on the same hit list. "Woke" activists are like a school of piranhas - one drop of blood in the water and one bit emboldens them, setting off a feeding frenzy where everything and anyone is fair game.
Of all the self-righteous newspeak created by the politically correct left, "woke" has to be the most smug and obnoxious.
“woke” is used by the right to indicate that someone has been “red-pilled”.
Who co-opted the phrase from whom? Did it start with antifa/SJWs or with the alt-righter?
I saw it first on 4chan a couple of years ago ... I don’t pay attention to the SJWs so I don’t know when they started to use it.
Not into tearing down statutes and I love Kate Smith, but it would not bother me at all if God Bless America was dropped from the 7th inning stretch.

I guess the phrase ‘under God’ in the Pledge will soon be targeted by ‘them’ BUT, it wouldn’t particularly ‘bother’ me inasmuch as I learned it without ‘under God’ but would be ‘upset’ for the reasons for ‘banning’ it now.
Very true statement.
Do blacks even watch hockey?
Bottom line, nobody wants to stand up against them to stop all of their destruction of our history.
