Singer Asks Whites To Move To The Back
Oh, how oo wee beautifully PC.
PATOOIE! Turns my stomach!
If me a white old dino went limping along to the back, I'd keep going until I was outside.
Me the allosaur would also be sorely moved to roar on the way out.
Hope me with my dino temper will omit profanity while yelling something like, "Stupid racist PC pinheads!" and/or "Libtardism is a mental disorder!"
I was about to click on Submit when I had this new thought~
Perhaps the best thing I could yell while leaving would be, "Look y'all! I'm Rosa Parks! I'm Rosa Parks! I'm Rosa Parks! I'm Rosa Parks!"
Follow up thought: Hell's bells! Bet all those millennial little self-righteous punks would not even know who Rosa Parks is.
Was. I now recall reading that she died.
Whoa! Rosa Parks refused to go to the back. Never mind.

Boycott - everything with her involved.
Solidarity - Whenever you hear this word, you know that someone is trying to take away your freedom.
The PC mantra of the new Jim Crow is actually quite simple:
The black man that stands up for his rights, family, and community is a hero and must be praised.
The Hispanic man that stands up for his rights, family, and community is a hero and must be praised.
The white man that stands up for his rights, family, and community is a hateful racist, oppressor, Nazi, KKK member, Alt-Right advocate, and must be put down like a rabid dog.
I lived through the "civil rights era" and though I was quite young I understood enough to truly believe in equal rights for everyone and thought privileges based on skin color were idiotic. A merit based (content of character) system made a great deal of sense. It seemed by the late '60s the nation was well on its way to achieve that goal. That is, the race based system of Jim Crow was clearly dead throughout the nation as a whole and a new era of mutual respect was rising rapidly. Millions of white people, who were privileged under the old Jim Crow, saw the merit of tearing down that racist system and worked and voted to kill it. Then in the late '70s (hardly a decade had passed!) something happened. A new Jim Crow began to form, which was the same as the old Jim Crow except the racial pecking order was changed. The REAL civil rights movement started to fail. A popular radio talk show host said the civil rights movement became the civil rights industry and it's down hill from there.
The power of the new Jim Crow requires the sanction of its victims to live and grow. And it's growing.
One's "content of character" has nothing to do with any skin pigment accident of birth.
What ancestors may have done has nothing to do with with a person's "content of character" either.
"Ass holes come in all colors" as well. As soon as it becomes generally acceptable to separate racism from ass-holiness without being called a racist society will have come a long way.
I think it's bad regardless of your physical attributes. Imagine if you were a female with dark skin. You're into all the things you're into, your job, your plans for the future, hobbies/interests. More so than when other people enter the office, the lab, the convention, or whatever, people note "a black woman" came in. Security and policy officers often are biased. Hiring managers or customers may be biased: "It was weird. This black woman came in, but it turn out she was really good at..." You may benefit from affirmative action programs, and people wonder how much your achievements are based on your merits.
But for the most part, people get past that. People don't want to be racists. In the modern world you can forget about that crap and just be you. That "the black woman" crap is mostly from history. Esp once people get to know you, they think of your as the person into knitting, the person who's a "jedi" at spreadsheet pivot tables... not group identity crap.
And then you go to an event, and the performer highlights this crap you wanted to get away from. I think you'd be way madder than if you were a white male and this crap didn't come up as much.
To me her antics sound stupid, as though we're giving this too much thought. But if all my life I'd be struggling to be seen as me and what I actually do, and then someone comes along and highlights my group identity --- I would be livid.
For them to conform is the norm.
Welcome to The Gulch if I haven't wrote that already. Me dino can't remember 4 months ago.
gross statement?? ( to those of who remember our
classy Lena) Appalling to say the least,
As quickly as the show came on, the screen turned to snow.
My dad said, "Somebody did not want that on."
I do believe I then went to my room and did my homework.
Must have been nothing else I wanted to watch on the other three channels~which were working.
No, I'm not just worried. I'm OFFENDED!
I'M OFFENDED! I'M OFFENDED!
WAH! WHERE'S MY SAFE SPACE?!
I WANT MY COLORING BOOK!
... can't stop laughing... you're killin' me here...
What I need is what the Popeye played by Robin Williams claimed to have~"A sensk of humiligration."
Yes. There are more people like this than I have time in my life for, even if I wanted to worry about it.

Me dino won't resist when I'm led out by security or the cops..
That's when it will be time to shout, "Look, I'm being oppressed! I'm being oppressed!" all the way out.
Of course, there is always the risk that any Antifa punks in the audience will converge on my seat to beat me up.
There should be a dark dank and lonely place for all parasitically unwashed delete ruleless humanoids to sit.
That's what "don't ask, don't tell" was all about. It was that way in the fifties and not just in the military...and guess what...we all got along without being divided or called names.
"W'ell have a gay old time" was still in the opening song of The Flintstones at about the time the out of the closet so-called gay revolution started. That's the latest old-fashioned use for "gay" that I can recall.
Shortly thereafter young dino heard that gays with signs were in the front yard of singer Anita Bryant because she said something they didn't like about homosexuality.
I was all like "What? They would do that? Can't she have her opinion?"
Such was my first introduction to that stifling of free speech tactic used by the left. Now it's no surprise to an older and wiser dino that the left has progressed to the beat-down terrorism tactics of Antifa.
Let's see them argue that!
Fools and simpletons they are. "They know not what they do."
Today we are bombarded with all sorts of politically correct demands in terms of speech, who you vote for politically, and many other things.
I am to the age that I say what I want, live in the neighborhoods I want, and vote for who I want.
If it offends the snowflakes around, so be it. They can get over it. I also try to stay away from them unless there is something that I desperately need from them.
A good test is to find out if they voted for Hillary or supported Sanders. If they did, I shun them. Doesnt mean they have to had voted for Trump to be ostracized by me.
I was a teenager in Tampa in the early 90s. People always relinquished seats for females if the bus was full at that time, especially elderly women, out of chivalry. I've never seen that in my home town in WI. I am okay with either custom. I've never seen the blatant racism you describe. It's completely foreign to me. It's good you didn't always go along with it.
Many concert halls have varying prices for seating. Maybe that's not the case in Halifax. But if people have purchased reserved seats, no whim of the performer has the right to deprive them of their seats. White people in the audience are enriching this singer. Why would anyone want to attend a concert of someone with such attitude?
Notice that she discriminates not only against whites but also against men. Why would she feel "unsafe" when she has a crew and security staff on hand? Will defending the whole string of sexual exceptions lead her to discriminate against straight people?
If all seats cost the same, how about rearranging the room for unity by alternating white and brown guests, like a checkerboard. Or was this whole controversy just another marketing scheme?
Edit add: Her "love and unity" label is about as truthful as the name "Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea".
Lots of need for optorectomies in that crowd.
