Now Dilbert is racist! Popular comic strip is canned by 77 newspapers after artist Scott Adams began incorporating anti-woke plotlines, including black character who identifies as white

I can't tell if anybody actually called the strip "racist" as the clickbait headline is leading us to believe. The word doesn't even appear in the body of the article.

Just because the newspapers decided this was too controversial doesn't mean it was because of alleged racism. I swear, conservatives misuse the R word just as much as the left does.

Yeah, I was gonna change the headline into something else and link to the article but decided not to. The link goes to the archive, so at least DailyMail doesn't get the clicks.

Is BLM a form of political speech or a political movement?
How can the NFL allow as such?
Could Make America Great Again be on a helmet or jersey?

People seem to be getting over the BLM stuff now.. how freaking divisive of a movement could you possibly make? The founders of it were dummies, but they sure got everyone mad at it each other, I will give them credit for that (I’ve always thought was really the goal)

Don't embarrass your boss. Not difficult. If he's too stupid to realize, that people will find out who he works for, in todays day and age, then he deserves it.

I would have told him you aren't fired for what you said. I just realized you are too dumb to work for me.

So making a movie quote in a humorous way is wrong?

Sure can be. Know your audience. Be aware of todays social norms. Doesn't mean you have to agree. Dont be surprised when your company responds in the easiest way possible. Again he's fired for being stupid

Na he just exposed the stupidity of alleged “society norms” and everyone who accepts it. It’s ridiculously stupid how only certain people are allowed to quote another person. Even more ridiculously stupid is it’s the person quoiting someone else who is labeled as being offensive and not the person who originally said it.

A school district in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania is cancelling it's traditional Halloween parade because of inclusivity complaints. It seems conservative christians don't allow their children to participate. The school district felt it was unfair to have the parade if those children had to sit in the library during the parade as has been the tradition. They also claim security concerns, but it is acknowledged the complaints were the main reason.

Seems the right wing practices cancel culture as well, doesn't it?

That sucks for all the kids involved. I used to be the kid in the library because my Mom didn't approve of something at school. I never cared about the spooky side of Halloween, but my 4 YO daughter is obsessed with anything that is creepy or spooky. It's really odd to me but it makes her so happy and I feel bad for any kid with her nature under the thumb of a parent that won't let them indulge their interests.

JP Morgan Chase cancels Kanye West. Corporations continue to be the henchmen for the woke left. I hope millions end their banking relationships with JPM Chase while they’re up to their eyeballs in trouble with the bond market that’s coming apart. Love to see them get wiped out.

Wtf, why? Why would anybody be upset that anybody is canceling Kanye? Did you see what he said on Twitter? With all the **** that big banks do, why would not doing business with a guy who says anti-semitic things be a reason to cancel Chase?

Not on Twitter, so no. That being the case I could understand it then. Was under the impression from another article it had to do with his White Lives Matter appearance and recent interview. Thanks for the heads up.

It wasn't on twitter very long. Deleted before I heard about it.

It might still have someting to do with WLM and any number of other controversial things he's done over the years.

Monty Python star Eric Idle has addressed the topic of “cancel culture”.

Idle, 79, was asked about the subject during a recent appearance on an episode of the podcast On with Kara Swisher.

Asked about Dave Chappelle’s complaints that he is being silenced for his controversial jokes, Idle responded: “Where does he say it? On SNL… well you’re not being that much cancelled, are you?

"If you were in your room complaining. I’d have a lot more sympathy.”

Idle went on to address another vocal critic of “cancel culture”, Bill Maher.

“I didn’t like it when Bill Maher complains about the audience for not laughing, they’re telling you they don’t find it funny.

“You shouldn’t moan about the audience. There’s nothing wrong with the audience. If they don’t laugh at your jokes, there’s something wrong with your joke. And so… I’m not terribly sympathetic to that sort of attitude, to be honest.”

Elsewhere, the writer of Spamalot said: “I think the thing about comedy is it’s disastrous when you want to be liked.”

Where does it say conservatives in the article? Where does it cite them as conservative christians in the article? We all know the school boards aren't. And since when would they yield to conservatives over inclusivity? n_huffiness is not conservative and in his post below yours, he was one of the kids in the library. Sounds like your just fos.
