When people wax poetic about awful shit that was “harmless” what they are really upset about is that “it was harmful to a group of people it used to be ok to harm and I wish I could harm them again”

I vaguely remember the black and white minstrels being a thing, but by the time I understood what was really going on it had stopped. I don't remember enjoying it.

I find that people who use the word woke as an insult don't really understand what it means.

Back when it was still running I remember my Dad trying to explain to his parents how appalling it was.
