It’s extremely disheartening. Add the daily stream of corporate statements echoing woke ********, each seemingly more nauseatingly obsequies than the last, really has to make you wonder whether America can survive as a great nation as we indulge this sort of nihilism.


maybe it was the lego thread that was the tipping point, how dare people defend the selling of police legos

that's just another way to censure speech.. call it racist. threaten action if that speech.. that disagreement.. is not eliminated.

we have seen these attacks all over social media and this is just one more example.

yes.. scarletnation is perfectly within their rights to do so.. but lets not pretend it is some act against xenophobia and racism.. it is an act against people disagreeing with woke culture where it infringes on free speech and free thought.

you liberals are acting like this is a "win" for you because it is.. no uncomfortable questions to answer any longer. no longer will you lie awake at night fearing someone may have made a political point with which you disagree on the current events board.

you'd love all those who disagree would be eliminated.. reprogrammed.. reeducated.. but you'll take this little victory and pay yourselves on the back.

perhaps you'd like to lead us in a chant that unifies our thoughts?


Speaker: ‘… about racism, anti-blackness or violence.’

Crowd: ‘… about racism, anti-blackness or violence.’

Speaker: ‘I will use my voice in the most uplifting way possible,’

Crowd: ‘I will use my voice in the most uplifting way possible,’

Speaker: ‘… and do everything in my power to educate my community.’

Crowd: ‘… and do everything in my power to educate my community.’

Speaker: ‘I will love my black neighbors the same as my white ones.’

Crowd: ‘I will love my black neighbors the same as my white ones.’

is wokeness a new religion?

I just picked a post of yours, it was either that one of the one you naming 5 other posters. We need conversation to learn and heal, shutting it down only traps and delays the misunderstandings and ignorance.

You are nuts if you think a message board filled with people hiding behind a keyboard is constructive conversation that is going to change anything.

why do you think people do that?

when someone says "liberals" or "conservatives" .. blah blah blah they mean the people who tend to support the liberal viewpoint tend to.. blah blah blah. It makes it easier and quicker to make a point.

I think if they wanted to say ALL liberals or ALL conservatives they would use the word ALL in there. It is just an average position thing.. it is never meant to mean ALL without exception.

I think taking exception to the use of those terms is merely hiding from defending whatever position those collectives support.

I don't know about that- every time I see it used, it just seems lazy close minded and ignorant. If you have a problem with what someone says- have that discussion with them-and not just go with the name calling or polarization.

Have we heard from Richie yet about whether it is shut down and, if so, specifically why?
Probably not a bad idea for a group time out. The board had become unreadable lately Grown men calling other grown men names, etc. bring it back on election week

when people say "liberals want this" or "conservatives want that".. do you know what they mean? I think you do.

If what this or that is is so extreme as to be an obvious strawman then your point holds.. but when this or that is a rather obvious truth.. say, 2nd amendment rights or abortion rights.. then use of the collective label is perfectly reasonable.

It is not the use of labels.. per se.. it is how you use them.
