That's not very flattering to Marxists. 

That's not flattering to communists of any kind. This red thinks so... 

Seriously, what the hell is up? I did participate in a party where I did blackface by bathing in oil... Does that mean I am racist even though I have too many black friends to count in one hand and they were the ones who organized said event? 

Or should I point out one of those involved was also a Shia and we are still close? 

Wow, that's so wrong. I cant believe you would admit to that kind of behavior in pbulic. Everyone makes mistakes, but you don't even seem to acknowledge how deplorable that was.

Well, I guess that answers my question: you are making this into a series. I guess this series is trying to make it seem as though those Marxists have somehow taken over society, right? Well, I guess this is something interest to discuss, but you and I come to very different conclusions. Vive le communisme et l'anarchisme !

That's not very flattering to Marxists. 

I was referring to those who blame current problems on a Marxist conspiracy.



Don't make jokes, don't have any critical opinion, just conform and obey. Corporations HR now sack anyone who disobeys corporate policy accordingly. This is happening in Europe and the USA. People take life too seriously it is no longer the great days of 1950s or 1960s. Even the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s were fair more laid back than now. Oh so great were the times when people were more laid back, took life less seriously, had more personality and a sense of humour.

Even though no one cared, not even three black friends of which two were among the organizers? It was not something to mock black people. I literally covered myself in oil for a performance along with five other dancers. We had to use motor oil to look black, whereas other performers used red dye. The result was black and red people dancing with each other on stage. 

Seriously. How the hell is this a negative thing? 



I'm not sure which is worse: this case, or the first post of this thread. They're both really bad.

Please don't tell me you're talking about me being a bad person because I volunteered for what was a fantasy dance performance in a party and just happened to have to cover myself in motor oil alongside other five guys, two of them also black, so it would look the way the director wanted... 



I want to hear the joke. Just says he did a southern accent.

The joke might have been racist... Or misconstrued as racist. Since the person on the receiving end said it's genuinely alright, I think it wasn't.

Seems like he was probably just imitating a racist to his black friend for laughs.

He's talking about a guy who made a joke to a friend and people flipping their shit over it. That's idiotic. I swear progressives live off of hysteria or outrage.

To that bolded bit, that's false and just a marketing slogan. The name of it is like that too. In reality, progressives only represent their ideology/themselves and create more division among people by labeling everything and pushing asinine concepts like cultural appropriation. That doesn't sound like something that represents or cares about justice, fairness or people of all walks. 

Cultural appropriation does represent juistice and fainess. Don't hijack other peoples cultures. It's a simple rule. It's not divisive, it's anti-divisive. The only people that consider it divisive are racists who want to destroy other cultures by mixing them with their own.

 

First of all, don't call anyone that disagree with it or you, a racist when they're actually not. Frankly, that's fucked up because you're calling me a racist in a roundabout way and it's intellectually lazy of you to resort to insults like to discredit opinions you disagree with.

We live in a world where traveling to other countries is fairly easy and convenient. People from many different cultures live with eachother in many different countries. It's impossible for these cultures not to intermingle or people to take in traits from cultures that surround them or that they like. If you want to adhere to this nonsense "rule", by all means have at it but don't try to push that crazy shit on other people.
