    Where the hell is it going to end???

    Will Smith is now being cast as the father of Serena & Venus Williams but apparently, he is not dark enough... Give me a break ffs.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47468011

    Next the Opinion Police will have you hung drawn and quartered for thinking thoughts and the PC brigade will be first in line with loaded weapons.....

    Afterhoursers, I call on an uprising against this tide of PC bullsh*t. Let s go back to the eighties and have a Ground Hog day, before the world fell apart at the seams and caved into populist culture and snowflakism:D When we called a spade a spade (thats probably a derogatory term for something nowadays) and we all just got on with our life

    It's a wicky wicky wild world.

    Actually, Groundhog Day was a 90s movie


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Ill say this; if calling someone a snowflake isn't populist culture in 2019, i don't know what is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,731 ✭✭✭jam_mac_jam


    Yeah so much outrage.. two people on twitter said something. Jesus where will it end? Snowflakes..

    Yeah. Multiple threads probably. Snowflakes start these threads all the time to complain about other snowflakes.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 12,853 Mod ✭✭✭✭riffmongous


    How about you stop looking on twitter for things to be outraged about? And stop posting it here too

    Funny you should say that.

    Is it racist to call a spade a spade?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,802 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    could they put Will Smith in blacker face?

    Brace yourselves, its looking like a shower of hailstones the size of goof balls is about to hit this thread...

    Ohhh the temperature will rise and the bots will be coming in like a hairdryer to evaporate the mess...

    Ohhhh its not looking good, im going to dip in and out for the show, one thing I learned is never mention 6 worms that trigger the piranhas into a feeding frenzied pike transformation which are of the apex of the pond...

    Ohhh im getting nervous, a cul of the masses is about to occur, wait now wait... He or she is hovering about to pounce, ohhhh its getting scary now...

    My friend warned me about board's and its elite standard of virtual security.....

    No, just no. I have never heard a black person being called a spade. A spade is a spade ffs. It never meant anything different.

    The PC Brigade are the snowflakes? Or the people offended by the snowflakes? Or the people complaining about AH being full of snowflakes? Or a British police officer with a strange surname?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,842 ✭✭✭Floppybits


    Should have been Morgan Freeman as the Richard Williams and Will Smith as Alex Cross. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,943 ✭✭✭Deebles McBeebles


    I thought every snowflake was unique......so confused.

    If you are outraged does that not put you into the same camp as the 'PC Brigade'.

    It's an American thing.

    Comes from the ace of spades card. You know that old expression 'as black as the ace of spades'.

    Why don't they just stick with the facts instead of making it a racial/sjw thing, the man looks nothing like the person he's supposed to play.

    A black man isn't black enough to play a black man.

    There's only one thing for it:

    "Well Holy God".

    All my life, a spade was a name for a type of shovel. That's all.

    Never made a connection between cards and an actual spade. But point taken!
    Perhaps you haven't but it was very common at one time.

    At one time. But I've genuinely never heard of anyone calling anyone black a spade. That Whitnail and I clip, aside from never actually watching it at any stage, is the first time I have heard it used in that manner.

    As far as I'm concerned, the phrase 'calling a spade a spade' is a reference to saying something is what it actually is. Nothing more. And I won't stop using it (not that i usually use it anyway) just because some people think it's offensive. Fuk them.

    Could they not darken Will up a bit with make up or something?

    Yeah there is speculation on who is behind it.

    You missed the point there. The Bourgeoise are the female members of the Bourgeoisie.

    If Will could do a bit of "Black Face"?
