- Kim KardashianIt's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

My pronouns are he/him/his
That sentence should have ended immediately after the words "ridiculous to ban".
You just can't satisfy these clowns.
A Sonic employee politely asks for this man's[1] pronouns.
Then the $#@! gets pissed off when the Sonic guy doesn't just guess them.
(And of course, if he guesses "wrong" ...)
This is just an excuse for petty control freaks to bully and badger other people.
They're not offended when you use the "wrong" pronouns. They get off on it.

[1] Yeah, that's right. I referred to this bozo as a "man". Come at me.

The latest fulfilled prophecy from The Babylon Bee:
NPR accuses Dave Chappelle of using 'white privilege'
"Too often in The Closer, it just sounds like Chappelle is using white privilege to excuse his own homophobia and transphobia," wrote NPR television critic Eric Deggans.

He thinks that Chappelle is "using white privilege" as a defense for why he can make fun of white people in a way that he doesn't think that black people should be made fun of.
In other words, he's calling Chappelle out on race-base hypocrisy.
I despise the way that the article is written, it's in essentially written in some weird alternate SJW-ish dialect that I find nearly impossible to read/understand, but I agree with the point that I think he's making.
Wasn't hard for me to understand.
Based in self absorbed twaddle about "oppression".But lines like that assume that the struggle over oppression is a zero-sum game — that because some gay people have access to white privilege in America, all their concerns about stereotyping and marginalization are hollow and subordinate to what Black people face.
It ignores the fact that there are plenty of nonwhite gay people who face oppression for both their sexual orientation and their race. And, of course, opposing these public statements of homophobia isn't just about making gay people feel better; it's about keeping the anger and prejudice behind those words from becoming widely acceptable or turning into action.
Having a politically correct comic poke fun at you is not "oppression". And yes, that's all Chapelle is. How far would an Andrew Dice Clay, a Sam Kinison or even a Don Rickles get today, as white men cracking the same jokes?
No homosexual or colored person is oppressed in 2021 Amerika.
They are in places like Trashcanistan and China, where they throw in concentration camps or off high buildings.
That idiotic assumption "oh, we're so oppressed, oh how we struggle", that alone is worthy comedic satire and ridicule.
“Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.” - Arnold Toynbee
Puts me in mind of this:
These people are actually using the thing on the right to sell the thing on the left.
It is funny. It's $#@!ing hilarious. And the most laughable thing is, it's working. The more we laugh at it, the more determined they are to make it happen.
But we're trapped. The only thing we can do is double down ourselves. Laugh HARDER!
He who laughs last laughs best--because he won. Let the meme war continue!

Deggans is not calling out Chapelle for race-based hypocrisy. Nothing in Deggans' article indicates he would have any problem with Chapelle "mak[ing] fun of white people" as such (let alone that he thinks Chapelle is doing so "in a way that [...] black people should[n't] be made fun of"). If anything, it appears that Deggans would regard "mak[ing] fun of white people" as such as "punching up" and therefore unobjectionable (and not only unobjectionable, but the right way of "using white privilege").
Deggans is bitching about Chapelle mocking or making reference to white homosexuals and transsexuals (such as Caitlyn Jenner or the gay white man he almost got into a fight with at a night club) and then using the whiteness of his targets as some kind of get-out-of-jail-free card for his alleged homophobia/transphobia.
From the article:
Deggans is upset that Chapelle, rather than "using [the] white privilege [of his targets]" to mock white people as such, is instead "using [the] white privilege [of his targets]" as cover to mock homosexuals and transsexuals. IOW: Deggans has his panties in twist because he thinks Chapelle is "using white privilege" the wrong way."In our country, you can shoot and kill a n*****," Chappelle says. "But you better not hurt a gay person's feelings."
[...] "If slaves had oil and booty shorts on, we might have been free 100 years sooner," he cracks.
But lines like that assume that the struggle over oppression is a zero-sum game — that because some gay people have access to white privilege in America, all their concerns about stereotyping and marginalization are hollow and subordinate to what Black people face.

[...]
"Gay people are minorities until they need to be white again," Chappelle says as the capper to a different story about his conflict with a white man at a nightclub who called the police. The comic says the man he nearly fought was gay.
