    It's hard to find a show or movie or musician who isn't woke today. I find myself constantly having to go back to the 90s to find media content that is not saturated with progressive woke messaging.

    Do you see how many people on this board respond to Trump's Tweets? Why can't they change the channel rather than get triggered over them?

    And black women had skin inequality for 400 years. I guess White women had access to Vaseline back then and black women did not. The commercial is completely off the rails.

    The N word is used in the Godfather and Casino, under normal circumstances those movies would be cancelled and I have no idea how they survived when Gone With The Wind is now censored or comes with a warning. How how about Brian's Song where Billy Dee Williams nick name is black magic? And then there is Blazing Saddles. Mel Brooks said political correctness has hurt the movie and comedy industry.

    Exactly! Four years straight the left melts down over every tweet he makes

    What about the brand names that were forced to be changed? Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, Ms. Butterworths, all changing their brand names and logos. Don't like them? Dont buy them. Don't like the team name Redskins? Don't watch them. For some reason that never seems to be an acceptable answer to those on the left.

    It is funny to see people get triggered by Trumps tweets. Anyone who seeks out Trumps tweets or commercials on a Facebook page seem to be looking for something to be outraged about.

    Please don't compare outrage with pointing out stupidity, idiocy, wokeness, and doubling down on stupidity.

    Because Trump is the POTUS and should know better then to be an *******. Vaseline is one of thousands upon thousands of companies that are selling their goods.

    Surely you see the difference, right?

    LOL so your outrage is more justified is what you're saying. I figured you'd have an excuse. Is there a chart of things we can use to know what you think is worth voicing disagreements over or do you just call it as it happens?
