Knew these two guys in uni, one Nigerian, the other Chinese. Best friends. Nigerian would say, "Yo when you gonna finish doing my laundry?" and the Chinese dude would retort "When you give back the TV you stole." Then they'd both bust a gut laughing.
That was barely over a decade ago. Even then, white people would not have been able to participate in that.
I've been saying this for some time. PC and being "woke" has destroyed my industry, acting, and humor pretty much altogether. I agree with everything my Puerto Rican data expert here says. We must be able to laugh at ourselves as a first step.
This is all by design. A lot of money and resources went into creating our humorless, color-by-numbers society. How best to destroy America but to undermine the fabric of American society and turn Americans against each other. An enemy doesn't have to attack America when we are doing a great job of destroying ourselves.
It's hard to pin down when it started. The erosion of sensibility and common sense has been insidious. Oligarchs selling off our industry, the media, entertainment and our infrastructure to Saudis and Chinese doesn't help. It went up a gear after 9/11 and increased during the Obama Monarchy, but it seems to have gone into overdrive as a reaction to the Trump Administration.
We now know that the media, entertainment (Hollywood, music, sports) and BigTech joined forces behind the 'Woke Left' right after Trump's election to ensure that there wouldn't be a second Trump Administration. Consequently, all of the ills that the Woke Left associated with Trumpism - racism, white privilege, the traditional family, religion, biology, traditional American values - became subject to open attack. We saw this in action with COVID, 1/6 and Ukraine. Question the narrative and you are immediately labelled an "anti-vaxx, unpatriotic, white privileged, pro-Putin insurrectionist."
My personal gauge is popular music the vast majority of which now seems to have been created by the IngSoc 'Versificator' that Orwell made famous in 1984. It is fairly obvious that under the current regime an artist's success is preconditioned on passing an ideological purity test.
I grew up in a Detroit suburb, a minority white kid in a predominantly black neighborhood. There were racial issues because people are stupid but by and large we didn't care. We made fun of stereotypes and very little was off-limits (I'll admit that I never felt the need to use the 'N" word because it always seemed loaded and wrong to use, but that's just me).
On a positive note, judging by my sons' interactions with their very diverse group of friends, this still seems to be the case regardless of what woke media will have you believe. There is hope.
“How does one man assert his power over another, Winston?“
Winston thought. “By making him suffer”, he said.
“Exactly. By making him suffer. Obedience is not enough. Unless he is suffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own? Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.
Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery is torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but MORE merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress towards more pain.
The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy – everything.
Already we are breaking down the habits of thought which have survived from before the Revolution. We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends.
Before we "upped sticks and left the city" as I think the american expression is (?) we had a lodger renting one of the rooms in our apartment (the son had moved out and the extra income was welcome). A girl of 25.
As I detest virtually all movies and plays post-1995 or so, she would more and more frequently stop when passing through the living room while I was watching some old movie, like Re-Animator or Videodrome or some swedish movie from the sixties or seventies. After a while, she would start asking about older movies since a lot of them are considered politically incorrect today ('Mississippi Burning' is nowadays considered a 'white power' movie by swedish libtards f.e.).
And then one day I feel like it's time for Mel Brooks. 'Springtime for Hitler'. When she and one of her friends of the same age enters the apartment, me and my wife and two other friends of our age are sitting on the couch singing in tune with the TV: "Springtime for Hitler and Germany - pa-ra-ra-rumm! Winter for Po-land and France!"
And the girls ask in an incredulous jumble of words: "Was that kind of humour legal when you were young?!"
To this day I still shudder at the thought of young people asking: "Was that legal back then?"
The grievance industry is all about grooming weak, pathetic individuals into positions of "power". The people that derive power from claiming they are offended will never be able to laugh at themselves.
So, how do we deal with trash like Ibram kendi or taylor lorenz?
Pulls corners of eyes down...”Me Chinese, me play joke. Me go pee pee in your Coke.” Ahhh...the good old days. My husband bought me Truly Tasteless Jokes for Christmas. I had every edition growing up. You are absolutely right about them stealing our laughter. It’s the best healthy high there is. Taking that away steers toward chemical highs and more power for them.
El gato, agree,but also think it was a psyop...deliberately inculcated into our programming on TV, news, books, websites, and esp social media. What I think we all have to recognize now is that EVERYONE is being manipulated. Its subte, but it is being done, because they have everything we have ever done on line, emailed, texted, searched for, and that includes our phones.
I think the level at which this is being done is unimaginable and we don't want to believe it, but
I have reached the conclusion that it is part of the effort to tear down this country. It might have been happenstance when it first happened, but the social engineers grabbed hold and kept it going and multiplying.
Just think of the old advertising agencies, but now in the hands of the deep state and a very rotten manchurian candidate for president, who became president for 8 years...

If we want to defeat racism, we need to embrace cheerful racism.

She holds the lightbulb and the world revolves around her
Now, Greta was partially right in her (in)famous speech: "I shouldn't be up here! I should be in school!"

As is often the case, Orwell said it best:

Sending this to our woke school board...
Ahh remember “Pat” on SNL?
