White Chicks, and I don't mean to hijack this very important thread, is probably one of the funniest movies of all time. It takes repeat viewings. Then, instead of saying, "How stupid", you just start laughing. And you continue laughing through the entire film.

I was joking, a suggestion came up on my youtube feed as I was reading this thread which was titled "Is White Chicks the worst movie of all time", so I posted that.

FWIW, I remember thinking it was pretty good when I watched it, but I was young and dumb, so who knows!

Can't we have a conversation without cancelling everything?

Even cartoon dog cops aren't safe from the woke left mob. Better enjoy those NYPD Blue and Barney Miller reruns before the cancel culture comes for them also.

Of course people will say who cares about racist old movies or cartoon dogs when a man was murdered in excruciating slow motion by police on television.

But I think that is false equivalence. Two things can be bad at once. The cancel culture is starting to look like something out of George Orwell, and anyone who genuinely cares about liberal values should be f***ing terrified.

Well stated. I should just bring up a topic and let you give the answer.

Meanwhile, back in reality, here's the entirety of the Paw Patrol content in that linked article, as it relates to Woke Culture OUTRAGE:

Quote:
But last week, when the show’s official Twitter account put out a bland call for “Black voices to be heard,” commenters came after Chase. “Euthanize the police dog,” they said. “Defund the paw patrol.” “All dogs go to heaven, except the class traitors in the Paw Patrol.”
Is that it? Paw Patrol issued the same boring brand awareness tweet as everyone else, a few people on Twitter made jokes because it has a cop character, and the world moved on?

Fox News has a similar article, building off the NYT piece and it...includes the exact same Twitter quotes as the NYT article (all four of them) as its proof of Woke Culture Run Amok.

This is what revots sees as George Orwell come to life? Four users on Twitter? LOL, you're ****ing hilarious dude, never change

Gone with the Wind won 10 oscars. Even if you don't like the content, it should be studied for how it constructed a story and made a movie.

Liberals ban movies and internet speech.

And well named deletes posts that are heretical to his religion that blacks are systemically oppressed in the US. Here are some more relevant stats:
https://ucr.fbi.gov/leoka/2019/topic...s/table-42.xls
So we have that blacks in the US commit 53% of murders, are 37% of violent-crime arrests, and kill 38% of cops who are murdered on the job, yet they're only than 25% of police-caused deaths. But don't let the lack of objective, non-anecdotal evidence dissuade you from parroting the BLM narrative that blacks are racially targeted by police. Wokeness is a religion—not based on facts, but faith—that whites are an evil menace.

Of course they're racially targeted by police. You do not agree?
5% of the population commits that portion of crimes that you listed.

People (including black people) are targeted by police, but the argument is to what extent is it based on race. It's non-zero, but likely lower than what some SJW's think.

Whataboutism ftw. Standard.

On you’re advocacy of censorship, simple question, would you also be in favor of banning Airplane! (it has a segment mocking blacks) as well? Just trying to figure out how much you want to censor.

As a 42 year old white man Ive never had a gun pulled on me by police. If I was black I highly doubt that would be the case. I have been mistreated by police on quite a few occasions though.

I mean it wont chnage the overall narrative.

It will have impact on the GF narrative but even if it was personal it's still the case that he thought he could get away with a slow blatant killing of a black man in front of witnesses, colleagues and even cameras.

When are you people going to start thinking objectively or are you all willfully ignorant.
Black people are still discriminated. They have been throughout American history. It's irrefutable. Discrimination leads to poverty. Poverty leads to more crime.

This is the same person who came in, guns blazing, angry, putting out words in ALL CAPS, to defend the now proven racist *******s who murdered Ahmaud Arbery. Just a reminder, one of those egregious pieces of **** was leo for decades and that's what he thought about Black people the entire time. And the system he functions within tried to back him up and bury the murder. God knows what they all did, for decades without surveillance and public scrutiny, in all his other encounters

Now he's going through mental gymnastics to justify a system that tried to put Meek Mill away for decades on bullshit charges that stemmed from cops proven to be corrupt

But Brock Turner can commit rape and get a slap on the wrist

By the way, BLM has a very serious problem with police brutality of ALL citizens. But you wouldn't know that, would you? The racial aspect is very real, but they are well aware of brutality of all unarmed suspects and citizens alike. You are only paying attention where you want to. Please stop

Gone with the Wind was temporarily removed to add a warning because part of it could be upsetting due to recent events.

Cops has been on 31 years, such a rush to judgment.

What would you like to have a conversation about? If the police shouid or shouldn’t be regularly choking people to death? What is your position? Are you in favor of cops murdering people or against? Do you think minor crimes and misdemeanors ever Require strangulation as a response?

Let’s keep this dialogue going?

I think the current issue is people don’t think the police need to be put on a pedestal and honored by society and praised through works of art.

Those people are right. We can do away with things used to honor the police at this point in time. In fact it is important we do. Police have failed our society in a horrific way. We need to tear this thing down to the studs and rebuild. Police have earned absolutely zero benefit if the doubt.

Maybe cancel culture is bad. Canceling police shows for honoring and deifying police in 2020 is not.

The faux outrage at social justice is much worse than cancel culture, that is for sure.

Do you think people who say “Black Lives Matter” do not care about police murdering white people?

This is one of the weirder needle threads people try. It is both silly and ignorant.

But thanks for highlighting, again, the cops murder way too many people?

By the way do you have the police murder stats by race on non violent crimes and misdemeanors?
