I love how the word “Racist” in this country right now is basically the same thing as “Heretic” in the Middle Ages. Like the worst thing you can possibly be as a person is someone who inherently doesn’t like a generalized group of people or their maybe just their stereo type. Except that’s not what it even means anymore, because the word had totally lost its meaning and is just loosely thrown at anyone who’s opinion doesn’t go 100% along with liberal left wing ideology in this country. Just like if you went against the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages you were branded a heretic.
Off the top of my head I can think of plenty of things that are worse than racism. Not that I don’t think racism a bit silly in this day in age, but never the less there are worse things...
examples:
Murder
Rape
Human Trafficking
Assault/Battery
Robbery
Burglary
Grand Theft Auto
Extortion
Black Male (<~~ see what I did there)
Driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol
I also feel like comedians should be protected from being branded racist since it’s their job to make fun of people.
I agree with all of this and i say it all the time. "Racist" is the modern version of being smeared as a communist in the 1950's. If you get publicly called a "racist", you lose your job, get kicked off facebook, twitter, youtube, lose your apartment, your wife divorces you, you business you own gets shut down or burned down. you might even get arrested. its the red scare all over again.
and comedians used to break social taboos and joke about touchy issues. they used to challenge group think. think of LEnny Bruce and George Carlin. they made fun of societal norms. They pushed the envelop and were trailblazers. comedians were in the forefront of challenging what the majority of this country thought was bad taste. they thrived on offending the masses.
not anymore. now they cow tow and are emasculated, obsequious sheep, fearful of offending anyone. they have no nerve. They are all pussified.
