That's All Folks: Here Are 10 More Looney Tunes Characters That Must Be Canceled
Here's the list, but the devil is in the details:
1) Bugs Bunny, for insensitive portrayals of cross-dressers
2) Foghorn Leghorn, for glorifying the Antebellum South
3) Marvin the Martian, for blackface
4) Elmer Fudd, for an ableist portrayal of people with speech impediments
5) Daffy Duck, who is not voiced by a person of color
6) Porky Pig who is clearly a cop
7) Speedy Gonzalez, for cultural appropriation of Roadrunne
8) Lola Bunny, for setting unrealistic beauty standards for furry cosplay nerds
9) Tweety Bird, who uses racial profiling in looking for threats
10) Hugo the Abominable Snowman an all-white character

The Biggest Mistake You Can Make in Life Today
RULE O1: Don't apologize for something that you're not truly sorry for.
RULE 02: Stand up and push back.
RULE 03: Pacifying idiots makes you an idiot.
RULE 04: It's better to be cancelled standing on your feet, than living on your knees!
RULE 05: The George Floyd incident has nothing to do with racism or police misconduct. It's all about what happens when a thug overdoses while in police custody.

Don Lemon Demands Parents Teach Children That Jesus Was a Black Man
If there was such a man as Jesus, he was said to have been a descendant of both David and Abraham according to the Bible. This means that he was an Israelite. Although stereotypically Middle Eastern Jews have an overall dark complexion with dark hair and brown eyes, it is the case that blond hair, blue eyes, and light skin are not absent from this lineage. So, it is entirely possible that Jesus (if such a person actually existed) had blondish hair and blue eyes. In other words, to be extremely clear, blond hair and blue eyes is not something introduced into this racial group, it is something that has been part of the gene pool for millennia.

The Bible doesn't provide a physical description of Jesus. We know that he was an Israelite and that most of that population has slightly dark skin, dark brown hair, and brown eyes. But we also know that many Israelites have a lighter complexion with blue or hazel eyes, light brown or blond hair, and lighter skin. The traditional depictions of Jesus are reasonably close to that profile. Usually he is shown to have a deep tan and light brown hair. That seems perfectly reasonable to me. What doesn't seem reasonable to me is all this picky BS which is motivating extremists to attempt to erase the past and to rewrite history. I call shenanigans on that!

Companies should just stick to selling products and not trying to change the culture.

Bread and circuses. Fat and happy. By mixing politics and sports, the propagandists are undermining their own efforts.

Police Officer FIRED For Donating to Kyle Rittenhouse?! IS THIS LEGAL?
I've already donated to Kyle Rittenhouse's defense fund. He is completely innocent and the prosecution against him is purely political.

Stories of Us: Adam Carolla
It used to be religious nutjobs who tried to cancel people over rock lyrics or video games they didn't like. Now it's woke-tards doing the same sort of thing only they seem to get offended about some of the most random and stupid things. Normal and reasonable people are getting squeezed by the crazies on the extremes.

Virginia officer fired after anonymous donation to Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund
This is outrageous! It's hard to believe that this could actually happen in the USA. This is pure insanity!
