I saw a clip of Jane Fonda recently saying climate change was caused by racism and sexism. That was good.

I find it funny how the word monkey is racist. Do the people who get offended by that, think they really do look like a monkey?

Terms that have nothing to do with racism, except that Idiots who find racism in everything decided they sounded racist and made up apocryphal origins for them, then other idiots read their apocryphal (and completely without evidence) accounts and pass it on as truth. And then other people believe them and try to call YOU a racist when you call them out on their bullshite.



The other day I got called racist for pointing out the saying “down to the nitty gritty” wasn’t racist, but instead had origins in cooking.

Most likely used to refer to the “tit gratins” at the bottom of the cool pot.

Mother and father should be changed to babymomma and babydaddy to be more inclusive.

What would the mistaken racist origins even be for this? Is "nitty" too close to the word which shall not be spoken?

I read on Twitter from a blue haired lib that having your grass cut weekly is racist. I wish I was lying.

'Nitty gritty' emerged as a corruption of 'nigritique'. The French colonists called the African slaves and creoles 'la population nigritique'. So to get down to the 'nitty gritty' as the English speakers pronounced it was to mix with the people downtown. The standard dictionaries are coy about this derivation. Doug Gowan, Hornsey I believe it's a corruption of 'nigritique', a French word for the black and creole population.




NONE OF THIS HAS ANY ETYMOLOGICAL MERIT. IT IS PURE APOCRYPHA

It doesn’t even make sense but I argued the other day with a moron about it.

Apparently some people think the term “ninny” is racist as well.

Despite the term predating any racial use
But this is how you have some morons going around policing speech. Facts be damned

The biggest challenge today is finding what isn't racist.

Leftists even canceled Aunt Jemima, despite HER DIRECT FAMILY'S wishes.

I don't assume white people have these qualities. Many, if not most, don't. But ALL people should have them.
