Ellie Kemper called racist for attending a debutant ball as a teenager

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/06/07/ellie-kemper-apology-debutante-ball/

"She said that when she participated, she was unaware of the organization’s “unquestionably racist, sexist and elitist past,” but she conceded that “ignorance is no excuse” and that she should have educated herself before getting involved."

I doubt that she didn't know this. But, the fact that 20 years prior to her attendance at the ball, the organization stopped the racist rejection of all women of all colors. But, even thought the organization dropped their racist agendas 20 years before Kemper was crowned at the ball, she is still being called a racist by the WOK crowd of Democrats. Yet, she is a Democrat and quite liberal herself.
So, with this logic, since the Democrat party instituted the KKK, fought for segregation and slavery in the past, then all Democrats now must be racists Klan members.

 

Yeah, this is not only old news, but the "WOK crowd" (whatever that is) has pretty much already turned around on it. Someone was looking to stir up some ****, they did, Kemper made a statement, and it's over. The fact that anyone wants to treat this like it's news, or relevant in any way, is pretty funny, though.

 

It just shows that they are beginning to eat their own. That usually happens to fascists and communists.

 

Yeah, even far left channels defending her. No one actually cares.

 

Forty years ago, I tackled a black ballcarrier in a HS football game preventing him from scoring a touchdown. His school was in a predominantly black, low income neighborhood while mine was a more integrated middle class. I guess I should grovel and protrate myself before the Gods of Wokeness. But I won’t.

 

"a secretive and exclusive society run for decades by wealthy White families."

I thought that was The Washington Post.

 

. . . what?

 

Sorry, I went over your head. Just trying to draw a parallel to the BS that’s coming down on Klemper.

 

Oh man that 'apology' is so cringe, she cucked herself harder than anyone I've seen in a long time. Its real sad to see people debase themselves over such ridiculous nonsense. Girl goes to a social function and the woketards act like she was a former concentration camp guard or something, its pathetic!

 

It's not "over". This sort of idiocy will continue, it's just moved on to the latest outrage of the minute. You saw the fit they pitched about Jeopardy, right?

 

Democrats love to hate on people.

 

Nope, sure didn't. What's the outrage over jeopardy?

 

It started with this:



Which got the bed-wetters' dander up:

Then it hit the mainstream media:

Outing her now and making a huge issue of it is almost as ridiculous as the notion of debutante's balls!

 

I don’t judge people too harshly for things they said or did before they were old enough to rent a car.

 

Ah, so you were just explaining that you had no idea what happened. Thanks for clarifying. Though I wasn't really under the impression that you did.

 

I'll add to that the fact that I never even heard of the name Ellie Kemper before this thread. The relevance she/this has on my life is less than zero.

 

Ironic you display you’re uncomprehension by trying to spin my post.

 

Your post had nothing to actually do with the situation. I was correcting the fake spin.

 

Yes, the vast majority of your posts are just exactly that. Thank you for the brief, but rare, flash of self awareness...

 

She should have stood up for the group which had decades ago rehabilitated itself from it's racist past.

 

There was nothing wrong with her attending the ball nothing for which to apologize for.

 

All you got is a junior high school retort: “I know you are but what am I?” Great work!!
