The cancel culture is getting out of control

I just learned of it yesterday but there is enough memorabilia to support that it was a very popular bad joke at best and some reporting that it may have actually been practiced at worst.

Do you think a farmer would use his livestock as bait for a gator? Just look at the economics.

Most recent figures I saw stated a total of 11k Klan members across the nation. Add maybe a few thousand uncounted supporters and it’s still just a disgusting blip on the radar, all thing considered. Same with the other supremacist groups. Small groups of extreme loudness that the msm pumps up and boogeymans in order to further the msm racial divide agenda. It’s self serving and self feeding from both the groups and msm sides.

I find it interesting that some are even classified as white supremacy groups and folks buy it without actually seeing the diversity of the group members. Shouldn’t all the members of such a group be pasties? I suppose the white supremacist label is more gasp worthy during news cycles than an appropriate and generic hate group label.

I’m concerned that the longer the current destruction continues unchecked that these groups will begin seeing a rise in interest if they start responding to counter the rioting. It won’t even be from folks that actually support their agenda, just folks that are pissed and will join pretty much any efforts to stop the madness.

The far left may think they want it and be manipulating for it, but I don’t think they’re going to like it once it comes for them.

And about half of those are probably federal informants.

Like I said, at best it was a bad “joke”.
There are literally post cards and newspaper clippings from early 1900s about it. I didnt know about it before yesterday but I do know it about now.

I also said I didnt think the FL Gator cheer had anything to do with that “joke”. I dont think the vast majority of FL fans knew about it and the ones that did probably understood the cheer was unrelated.

I do agree “cancel culture” can get carried away, and that goes for things conservative groups want to cancel as well, but there are things society needs to leave behind in the history books.

Barack Obummer needs to be erased from history! Statues, library, and everything from the White House!

These are things we only heard about happening in 3rd world countries at one time. Going after families. Savagery Middle East oppressive regime type stuff. Unreal. I don't know if I want to believe she was fired. I have not looked for multiple sources on this.

Took you over an hour to find an example of an extreme right wing groups efforts to cancel some TV shows? The American Family Association, the group behind A Million Moms is on par with Westboro Baptist, in other words a wacko group of fundamentalist. If this is what you consider mainstream conservatives WTH do you consider BLMs?

Keep digging, you might be able to find something.

Sorry I do have other things to do in the day than refresh VN every few minutes to see if Hog88 has responded to me.

If you want to pretend conservatives dont get their panties in a twist about things like a gay kiss in Star Wars or Islam getting a lesson in the history book in public school then just continue on in your bubble.

Do you have any proof of your statement? Snopes says it's true:
Were Black Children Used as Alligator Bait in the American South?

Did you read it?

If we take them seriously, we have no choice but to conclude that using human infants as alligator bait was incredibly widespread at some point in time; yet, we have not encountered a single report that included enough detail to verify that even one such incident actually took place. They’re just tales.

We are unable to prove the negative, of course. We cannot demonstrate that no infant anywhere, irrespective of color or creed, was ever used as reptile bait. But neither has anyone proved to date that infants were, in fact, used in such a manner.

We checked this conclusion with folkorist and African American studies professor Patricia Turner, who has probably done more research on the “alligator bait” motif than anyone else in the world, and asked her if she had ever come across information suggesting that the phenomenon might be real. “I have not seen any evidence to suggest that it was true,” she said, adding that it would have been all the more unlikely during the era of slavery, when a black child would have been a much more valuable commodity than an alligator.

Just give us some examples if it's so prevalent.

As I asked the burnt, do you think a farmer would use his livestock as bait? It's a matter of economics.
