re: Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" canceled in UK over ‘white savior’ narrative

this fricking guy. fricking Will Hunting ova here.

So I guess they're doing away with critical race theory too? It's complete based on the idea that people of color can't succeed without white people helping them.

Never read the book. Mockingbirds are evil and we should be allowed to hunt them.

Very well written book. Harper Lee's best, a great American novel. Well worth the read.

We’ve reached the point where job interviews are starting off with “Hi my name is Rachel, and I go by she/her pronouns. What pronouns do you go by?” And it’s obvious to anyone that has lived in this dimension ever that I’m clearly a male.

But I am waiting to see what happens when they discover all the magical black saviors in Steven King books. Will that be deemed “internalized racism?”

So a bunch of white people in Edinburgh play the role of “white savior” by canceling a book because of a “white savior” narrative?

That’s a good way of looking at it.

Love it!

I visited Edinburg and I don’t recall seeing many black and brown people. So, out of curiosity I looked up the demographics.

Here ya go…

The census asked people what ethnic group they belonged to. This information gives us a better understanding of communities in Scotland.

The 2011 census found that:
Scotland's population was 96.0% white, a decrease of 2.0% from 2001
91.8% of people identified as ‘White: Scottish’ or ‘White: Other British'
4.2% of people identified as Polish, Irish, Gypsy/Traveller or ‘White: Other’
the population in Asian, African, Caribbean or Black, Mixed or Other ethnic groups doubled to 4.0%

So while woke white people are worried about “offensive “ books, minorities are being killed by the thousands in inner cities. I’m sure canceling To Kill A Mockingbird will fix that problem.

Truman Capote was the real author.

I don't see why this got downvoted. Capote's involvement in the authorship of To Kill A Mockingbird has been speculated about for decades. It's not crazy to believe he had a lot to do with that book. The release of Go Set A Watchman, with its much simpler prose, only added fuel to the fire. There's just a lot about the official narrative that doesn't make sense.

When are people in the West going to realize all this “woke” horse shite is nothing other than an organized propaganda campaign dreamed up and run by the CCP in order to demoralize Western society to make it more malleable and open to a Communist Revolution?

---

They're not.

There's no solution that doesn't involve killing most of them.

2016-2020 proved that. There's no debate, nor any election, that can cure this.

Yes.
