THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


“Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.” -George Orwell

DIGITAL DEFENESTRATION: PROGGIE WHITE "MALE"

 photo Azealia_Banks_cray_zpse5d1828f.jpg

Via Wikipedia:
Defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window. The term was coined around the time of an incident in Prague Castle in the year 1618. The word comes from the Latin de- (out of or away from) and fenestra (window or opening). Likewise, it can also refer to the condition of being thrown out of a window, as in The Defenestration of Ermintrude Inch.
While the act of defenestration connotes the forcible or peremptory removal of an adversary, and the term is sometimes used in just that sense, it also suggests breaking the windows in the process (de- also means removal). Although defenestrations can be fatal due to the height of the window through which a person is thrown or throws oneself or due to lacerations from broken glass, the act of defenestration need not carry the intent or result of death...
Here's an excellent cinematic example (of the fatal kind) that most people will remember:



Guess what happened after a wimpy white liberal sucked up to race hustler Azealia Banks?

As Executive Director of the Tracing Center, James DeWolf Perry has devoted a major portion of his life to educating Americans about the horrors of slavery. He was "nominated for an Emmy Award for his role as the principal historical consultant for our PBS documentary, Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North." He is, in other words, the perfect white liberal. You might think this would win him some points with hard-core leftist Azealia Banks, a singer/songwriter. Not exactly. Read her harangues below, then see how Mr. White Liberal responded.



























































Pathetic.
Indeed. But also illustrative. By the way, did anybody every figure out if the video below is a parody or not? Who can tell with these moonbats?

MOIRA'S TOP 10 "MODERN" CHRISTMAS SONGS

 photo b5718877-7d9c-46a4-8828-7633360980fe_zpsbb1c8ec3.jpg

I was annoyed beyond belief with the shocking WatchMojo list and so I decided to make my own list of "modern" Christmas songs. Obviously there is some overlap but I was appalled at some of the songs included in their list, especially considering some of the great songs left out. This is just me setting things right.

Truth be told, there really isn't much separating the songs on my list as I love them all for a variety of reasons. Christmas is a multifaceted holiday that blends the religious with the secular, pensive sentimentality with joyous exuberance. 

These songs deal with one or more of the various cultural aspects of Christmas. Some of them are no doubt politically incorrect according to LWNJs - why does the "girl" child get a doll while the "boy" child gets a guitar? Some are very simple while others are complicated and open to interpretation. Most of them have the power to put a smile on your face or bring wee tears to your eyes, as my mom would say. At least that's how it is with me. So enjoy them and...Merry Christmas!
