The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[Kunt 4 Life]

I'd love to see Eddie Murphy do this type of stand up nowadays. He'd be arrested now.

Dunno if this story will turn up in English somewhere, but a famous black French actor Omar Sy has been accused of racism for doing a sketch where he imitates black singer Aya Nakamura. He's being accused of playing to the court, i.e. leaning into clichés in order to make white people laugh. He was openly supportive of the French wing of BLM, built around a separate case here of a guy who died in police custody a few years ago.

I hope Aya Nakamura will react to this and back Omar. Although she has every right to be offended too, I would think.
It's the usual Twitter brigade being offended on Aya's behalf, isn't it? Is he getting so much flak that he'll be pulled from his job over it? Or even, bother from the law?
What's the racial/political climate over there like now after the jihad shenanigans a few weeks ago?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Nah, there'll be no official flak at all; it's not like some white producer is going to drop him...although, that would be peak woke!

Aya hasn't said anything herself yet.

[Kurt Cocaine]

So( ), if anything, it's good ol' publicity for our man Omar. Result!

There are so many facets to the wrongness there I'm almost blowing a wrong fuse trying to figure out what about it fries the head off me the most

[Giggles]

The sentence that said that their tight clothes were distracting the teachers is a bit disturbing.
Poor girls. That's the fucking Catholic guilt in action right there.

"During a tense town hall, staff cried and expressed dismay with the publishing giant's decision to publish 'Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life.'"

The mind boggles. Talk about embodying the cliché your adversary casts you as!

Four Penguin Random House Canada employees, who did not want to be named due to concerns over their employment

then...

"I'm not proud to work for a company that publishes him," a junior employee who is a member of the LGBTQ community and who attended the town hall told VICE World News.

Well Boss, if you're such an advocate of Pride... oh wait, you were Just Following Orders... for money and personal security. No precedent for that in history whatsoever.

Maybe it's time we went back to burning books altogether for fear they might contain something we disagree with. Oh the hypocrisy is so strong I'm just going to Stonewall it all from here on in.

I've never read any of Peterson's work but I have to say I'm tempted now before it ceases to exist

The gas thing is there is nothing remotely alarming or sensational in his books

I suppose that with Donald 'Literally Hitler' out of the White House the oul blue hairs need a new (old) target for their endless neurotic vitriol

I've not drank in a good while now, but when I was regularly on the batter, I awoke one morning to find I had puked over the side of the bed, directly onto my copy of 12 Rules for Life. I'm not sure if there was some kind of symbolism in seeing "An Antidote to Chaos" covered in the previous nights semi digested kebab.

What I'm trying to say is, I have a spare copy if you want it.

But if ya take it off him, you'll have to clean it yourself.
