Liberal white women are spending thousands of dollars to be lectured about how racist they are.
"Race to dinner", organized by Saira Rao.

This is Race to Dinner. A white woman volunteers to host a dinner in her home for seven other white women – often strangers, perhaps acquaintances. (Each dinner costs $2,500, which can be covered by a generous host or divided among guests.) A frank discussion is led by co-founders Regina Jackson, who is black, and Saira Rao, who identifies as Indian American. They started Race to Dinner to challenge liberal white women to accept their racism, however subconscious. “If you did this in a conference room, they’d leave,” Rao says. “But wealthy white women have been taught never to leave the dinner table.”

This is just the current version of the flagellants of the middle ages, and makes just as much sense.

That's so funny that you said that! I had said to my wife, "Why don't they just whip themselves?"
I respect the flagellation more,as I think that was done privately. Whether it was or not, it would have to be today for reasons of hygiene.

Nope: "The followers were noted for including public flagellation in their rituals."

My own interest in Woody Allen is approximately zero. I used to find him funny, but the prospect of wading through “a comprehensive account of his life,” as Hachette put it, fills me with gloom. Hachette had nonetheless determined that many readers would be interested in Mr. Allen’s life story. They simply forgot to check with the feminist commissars to see if he passes muster in the age of #MeToo.

Yes, you guessed it: All those white, racist, homophobic people on ventilators are preventing transgenders from getting their genitalia altered.

They really need to grow a pai- oop, inappropriate phrase here.

I think it is quite appropriate.

How about this for the ultimate expression of the title of this thread:

The Democrats just can't help themselves. They HAVE to sabotage anything Republican-initiated, even if it means destroying the country's economy apparently.

I do not know the detail of the bill, but they are all adding more debt than at anytime in the history of the country, if it takes an extra day, so be it.

Whether warranted or not, if this is grandstanding it would suck, but this better damn well be biased toward working people and not propping up industries that blew their money on stock buybacks, or, for example, the cruise industry, which seems to almost 100% of the time have ships registered out of country so as to not pay US taxes and hire workers outside of US wage and working conditions laws. They should suffer the consequences.

One user in the thread argued that conservative outlets have a “history of making misleading edits to remove context” and then sharing those videos “get professors in trouble.”
