Let's not, because that claim is absolutely not true, and it needs to stop reverberating around the greater Gawker echo chamber. Any entity can engage in censorship. It is not restricted to the government.

How is this any different than this:

What an odd thing to post 26 hours after this was posted:

I realized that my earlier post is somewhat unclear.

Either everyone gets a say, or no one gets a say.

It's shrill screeds like this that makes my voting for Democrats such a sour experience. What a pathetic thing to encourage people to politicize every interaction they have with another person, in particular the members of their family.

No one decides. No one has permission to give. There is no culture authority. Do what you want.

No one is offended by this stupid video.

What's the cutoff point? Am I stunted for feeling that my ancestors from 3000 years ago are strangers to me? What about mammals from 15 million years ago? When would it not make me stunted? When would it not be sad?

Sure, they can be different, and in this case they're the same in that they don't exist.

Not only do the descendants of slave owners have absolutely no obligation to "apologize" for the activities of their ancestors, they also have no obligation to feel guilty about it.

This logic applies the other way too. Other people have no moral obligation to respect your beliefs about what constitutes equality or bigotry.

What an all-around shitshow this is. Jesus Christ.

This is all nonsense.
