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.
And people are wondering why I never shut up about the CCP. Yes, they’re here. Anyone who actually understands China is flipping the frick out right now. Oh I’m being hyperbolic. Tell that to the people who told me the horror stories inflicted upon them and their family by the CCP. China throughout history has been a very advanced country with advanced ideals compared to most of the world, but things have changed thanks to their tyrannical government.
Nixon went to China to liberalize the country and enrich the Chinese people for the price of backstabbing the Soviet Union. It was both a glorious success and failure. They indeed backstabbed the Soviets and we liberalized and enriched their people, but their government has only gotten more competent and tyrannical and taught members of our government how to be tyrannical like their government is.

They aren't banning the book from the school library. They just aren't going to use it in their curriculum. Yet middle ages white males thousands of miles away in another country are upset by this. You guys are too sensitive these days. This entire board has become just guys posting articles they are upset about. Bunch of nancies.

I don't think too many people are insistent that the book be taught. What's upsetting is the constant narrative that everything white people do is wrong.
Attorney defends a wrongly accused black man? White savior complex. Presumably the guy prosecuting the case was wrong, too, though.
Eat a hamburger? OMG look at these boring-arse white people with their mayonnaise and shite. Yuck.
Eat Indian food instead? OMG look at these cultural voyeurs. Probably don't even support visas for Bangladeshi IT workers. Hypocrites!
It just gets exhausting after a while. Oh, I should turn off the TV, get off the internet, etc. and just ignore it, right? Does that work for hurricanes, too?
I'm fragile for even asking these questions.

I agree the book was always liberal trash, and just a step in the slippery slope of forming the mentality of leftists today.

Banning,
Its glorious. The white saviors took over the SJW movement, now being a white savior is racist...

Yep, they've heavily infiltrated every facet of life.

That was a significant theme of the Civil War. I wonder if they will cancel it?

Yup.

The Chinese government is everything we fear a government could be and the antithesis to the American ideal.
And yet America send billions of dollars a day to China in exchange for the promise of of our own eventual death at their hands.
We deserve what’s coming. It’s not hidden and it’s not subtle. We’re just too fat and lazy to care. And by the time we do it’ll be way too late. It already is.
War is coming.
We’ll either fight a civil war to reunite the country or a war against the ever growing federal government for our freedom. Either war brings foreign involvement. Let’s hope there’s someone to help us fight for freedom. There’s plenty of people willing to help the government crush us.

Do you not see a pattern developing?

the thing is, its not black folks getting upset by these books. It is overwhelmingly white grifters, especially women. But sure, lets keep arguing about intersectionality and all the CRT bullshite. Anything to keep people from developing class consciousness .

So a bunch of white people in Edinburgh play the role of “white savior” by canceling a book because of a “white savior” narrative?
Exactly. Not even a vestigial sense of irony among them.Posted on 7/7/21 at 4:39 am to OleWar
what do you mean

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
Some people really like Harper Lee because she's small time country folk. Truman Capote was a puff, nttawwt.
