Coca-Cola Fights White Supremacy By Cancelling Vanilla Coke.
Never heard of Vanilla Coke and had to look it up to be sure it's real. Old dino remembers when white supremacy WAS real. It's race hustlers like Al Sharpton, BLM and all those woke and Coke jokes who still fantasize the IS.
Imagine an all red can of soda...

A survivor of major central nervous system trauma and a stroke and one who suffers from PTSD, though I function independently I am mentally one of the walking wounded to the extent that I cannot distinguish between truth and "just kidding" without help. Posting satire material without flagging it as such is, by my standards, the moral equivalent of dumping marbles on the floor and not warning a blind person who approaches them of the danger.
This is the first one I bought. While laughing!

Freedom includes the right to exist without guilt, even if disabled, even if not conforming in thought processes, as long as we don't interfere with anyone else's rights. Using guilt, shame, aggressive teasing, disparaging comments, or other tools of harassment to enforce popular ways of thinking is a well-known tool of our political enemies and has no place here. Dividing us into those who recognize satire and those who don't is dividing us and is destructive.
Clearly this was a successful article for them, as so many here believed it without checking the source.
The either or view that his intention was thinking we are mentally defective or was duped himself leaves little room for nuance. Why assume the worst?
If you feel distraught that you were unaware this was satire, you have the freedom to take responsibility or blame another.
Taking responsibility I believe is the way of those in the proverbial Gulch.
If I am offended by what someone else says or writes, that’s strictly my problem. You’re right about that issue. But I have the right to speak up about my feelings in response. The announcement of an unpopular opinion or an embarrassing fact may offend the narrow-minded or the politically correct, but such discourse is necessary in free society and the offense when it occurs is part of the price paid for free speech. That kind of offense is unpreventable. What I object to is speech or writing that provides no facts or opinions or constructive arguments that can instead be made in a straightforward way, therefore without merit in the context of political dialog, and has the downside of risking confusion among some of us. Saying that satire is fun or makes political points is no defense, because if it is clearly labeled as such then its benefits are preserved and its downsides do not exist.
If there is a case for posting satire without its being clearly identified as such, let’s learn what it is. I make my case against such postings.
Highlighting cognitive defects, here in the case of satire detection, is essentially the same as using peer pressure to demand thought-process conformity, exactly what leftist militants do. We need to respect each other including the right to think differently from each other.
I then read Babylon and think- looks quite realistic.
Sometimes "I just go with it."
I liked the little Indian girl. I kept two boxes with her picture to make billboards on my HO train set. But we eat Challenge butter now.
So that's the ticket! Have a white lady dress up like Aunt Jemima so black people won't feel oppressed.
(Hmm, methinks maybe my posting all those The Babylon Bee links is starting to get to me).
Won't work...they will call that Cultural Appropriation! Why Whitey would want to appropriate the culture of the poor downtrodden black person in the ol racist USA....but if you do you will be criticized if you do. You just need to understand that lo Whitey is born with the "Original Sin" of racism. As such Whitey is bound like a slave to atone for this original sin....no matter that no one now alive had anything to do with it. Also most white americans are not even descended from people who owned slaves and got no advantage from it. The only thing the average Cracker has gotten in the last 40 years is to be actively discriminated against in hiring, government contracting, school admissions, etc. If I didn't know better I would say that was what you call...."Institutional Racism"
Aha! Another old dino memory jogged. In separate episodes I watched, each Cartwright son had a girlfriend who died.
Back during the Sixties when TV Guide was worth reading, I recall an article that proclaimed that all the Cartwrights carried a "kiss of death" curse.
Let us draw a lesson from all this about the mind's glitches in miscataloguing concepts and extrapolating irrationally.
LOL
colors and even some with spectacular plumage.
There is only one human species and all are individuals, no two the same, even identical twins.
One of the more exotic ones was labelled "FLESH." It was actually a Caucasian skin color.
Bet big boxes of crayons don't have that anymore!
It was NOT on Fake News that me dino heard (a week before Nov. 3) that an unspecified number of voters had complained, "If I had only known about Hunter, I never would have voted for Biden."

Liberalism is a mental disorder.
This whole racist thing is STUPID. At this point, I dont even want to see or hear from black people until they wise up and drop the entitlement thing fostered by the left.
These days woke deadhead snowflakes are capable of accusing folks of anything.
