They Changed the “W-Word”. That’s Progress Too...Or is it?

You just read my last Blog Posting about the Changes that were made to Mark Twain’s Literary Masterpieces.

In that Blog Posting I told you that that was not the end of the Changing...

“If you think Mark Twain’s works being changed is the end of the changing and now the change people are satisfied and there will be no more changing, think again...”

Then I gave you a link that showed you, believe it or not, they (whoever “they” are) bowdlerized Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird.

Wikipedia has this to say about Harper Lee’s book...

To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by the American author Harper Lee. It was published in 1960 and was instantly successful. In the United States, it is widely read in high schools and middle schools. To Kill a Mockingbird has become a classic of modern American literature, winning the Pulitzer Prize.

(Fella did the underlining.)

Hey, Wikipedia, it makes no never mind what you think they (whoever “they” are) messed around with Harper Lee’s carefully chosen words also.

There is a lot of craziness going on in our foolish world but you probably just said to yourself, “Well, at least, Agatha Christie is safe from this changing for the sake of changing” craziness but, if you did say that, you were wrong.

Here is a silly change to Agatha Christie’s words that Fella wants to zero in on...

In A Caribbean Mystery, the amateur detective’s appreciation of a West Indian hotel worker’s “lovely white teeth” has been removed.

I give you 3 guesses as to which of the 3 word is the “offensive” word and I’ll give you 2 hints. It ain’t “lovely”. It ain’t “teeth”. You got it! It’s “White”!

What kind of Mental Midgets thinks that every use of the word “white” is racist? I don’t know what kind of Mental Midgets they are but I do know that they are Genuine Certified Grade A Mental Midgets.

Do they really think that the word “white” is intrinsically racist? Yes they do but no they don’t. That’s because “intrinsically” has been replaced by “systemically”. They just love the word “systemically”. Many of them don’t know what it means but they do know they love it.

Allow Fella to comment on this Foolishness. If I make fun of some of this while I am commenting on it, it is systemically intentional. Yea, I know this last use of “systemically” is a stretch...

Ø What color are a Person of Color’s teeth? The answer is White.

Ø Is a Person of Color’s teeth Intrinsically White or are they Systemically White? The answer is Yes They Are.

Ø How many Persons of Color would like their teeth to be a Color Other Than White? The answer is None.

If you are not a Person of Common Sense, stop reading this Blog immediately. You should not have been allowed in here to begin with.

If you are a Person of Common Sense, answer this question: What is wrong with calling a Person of Color’s White Teeth White?

Would I kid u?
