ESPN pulls announcer from game to avoid offending idiots

Unread postby mmasters » Wed 23 Aug 2017, 18:30:37

The world has gone mad. The ESPN announcer for a University of Virginia sports game is an asian man named Robert Lee. Because he shares a similarity of name to confederate Robert E Lee they've decided to remove him from his job at the game and give him another job! This is another example of the politically correct mentality gone mad!

It looks like the snowflakes and their fake stream media patrons want to obliterate American history. To be replaced with some PC BS, of course. Can't have the masses think too hard.

Supposedly all this fuss was triggered by Trump's "racism". Robert E Lee wasn't a racist.

Although it has been buried by previous white washing, the history of slavery is much more complex than skin colour. Indentured servitude was common during the 1800s and it was not some soft experience. Depending on the master a white could be treated worse than a black. And many people don't know that some US aboriginal tribes had black slaves. There were also blacks who owned slaves.

We take the current norm of no slavery or indentured servitude in the developed world for granted. Cherry picking the past to further modern political ambitions is grotesque.

For the left, especially the far left, it's more and more the Elizabeth Warren (screeching) mode. As if outrage that someone would have a different opinion on the subtleties of an issue is irrelevant if they disagree.

And then they wonder why the whole country doesn't just jump merrily on their bandwagon.

This is a clear example.

What's next, ban the name "Lee" or any other word or name the far left doesn't like? At some point, shouldn't the screeching pass the common sense test?
Given the track record of the perma-doomer blogs, I wouldn't bet a fast crash doomer's money on their predictions.

Sheila Jackson Lee should be forced to resign from Congress. She has two oppressor and racist names.

Its not the whole world---just the liberals and extremist Ds.

This shows how crazy the D's new movement to remove and destroy all "symbols of hate is." Even a guys name can be a '"symbol of hate."

It makes you wonder if the Ds ever look at all the money they are raking in from big corporations and Hollywood limousine liberals and Tech billionaires. Don't the Ds know that the pictures on the money show SLAVE HOLDERS!!!!!

Unless the Ds immediately divest themselves of all their money, I call them HYPOCRITES!!!

Ds should IMMEDIATELY divest themselves of all money showing slave holders or they are HYPOCRITES

That'll happen just as soon as liberals stop supporting sacntuary cities used to blatantly skirt enforcement of illegal immigration laws. (The delicious irony here is the loud liberal whining over Trump's pardon of "sherrif Joe".)

Or as soon as liberals support a big CO2 tax, which actually seriously hits their own carbon spewing pocketbooks.

Hypocrisy is a sadly common meme -- for both ends of the political spectrum.
