EVERYTHING IS RACIST: Critics Slam Clint Eastwood’s ‘Mule’ as Racist. 

 

“Critics routinely cheer the most despicable characters on screens large and small. So why the fury against Eastwood’s crusty codger?”

 

Old white guys deserve what’s coming to them, especially the ones who regularly produce entertaining, moneymaking films on-time and under-budget.

One thing I noticed about the reviews for Bohemian Rhapsody listed on Rotten Tomato: there was a significant subset of "professional" reviewers, largely social media driven, who gave the movie negative reviews based on a judgement of the movie being "not gay enough."  

 

Probably the same reviewers writing the above, believing that to be good a movie must espouse a currently positive social justice viewpoint.  The same people who complain All in the Family is racist, completely missing that the point wasn't Archie Bunker's racism, but Archie Bunker's racism juxtaposed against a changing social environment.  Same with the Freddie Mercury portrayed in Bohemian Rhapsody, I presume the same with Eastwood's character in Mule (who I just assume is the same as his character in Gran Torino).

HARASSMENT.

 

 

Baker back in court for refusing to make cake for gender transition celebration

 

Yep, it’s the same guy who was sued for refusing to make a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding. As Twitchy told you back in August, the Colorado Civil Rights Commission again filed suit against Christian baker Jack Phillips for turning down a customer who wanted a gender transition celebration cake.

There are other bakers, you know.

 

Phillips was back in court Wednesday. ABC 7 reports:

The Colorado Civil Rights Commission said Phillips discriminated against Denver attorney Autumn Scardina because she’s transgender. Phillips’ shop refused to make a cake last year that was blue on the outside and pink on the inside after Scardina revealed she wanted it to celebrate her transition from male to female.

In the lawsuit, [Jack] Phillips’ attorneys say he “believes as a matter of religious conviction that sex — the status of being male or female — is given by God, is biologically determined, is not determined by perceptions or feelings, and cannot be chosen or changed.”

It claims Phillips has been harassed and received death threats and that his small shop was vandalized while the wedding cake case made its way through the courts.

Funny how these people keep coming to Masterpiece Cakeshop knowing the owner is a Christian who refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding.

 

I have to wonder what the cakes from this place taste like at this point. They must be amazing

 

 

It’s almost like these people are targeting him for his religious beliefs or something. But that can’t be right, because i’ve been assured for years that LGBQ is all about live and let live.

 

Diversity means forcing other people to believe what you do while not having to honor and respect their beliefs.

It's almost as if they're intentionally manufacturing lawsuits to bankrupt the baker and his business.

 

I'm surprised Sokolove Law hasn't filed a class action suit yet...

I see this as being fundamentally different from refusing to make a cake for a gay wedding ceremony.  As marriage is an actual thing, but "gender transition" is make-believe.  If the baker would make a cake for my niece's unicorn's birthday, he should be making a cake for a "gender transition party."

What if the potential customer wanted a trannycake to celebrate his wokeness? Watch where you draw the lines.

He's getting in on the strength of his extracurricular activities, and his special status of surviving his coincidental proximity to a shooting to be really annoying.

So....ahhh....what’s a 1270 equivalent to the SATs in the late 80s. Asking for a friend.

 

After doing a rough estimation where you convert the scores to pre-2005 then again to pre-90's,... it roughly translates to 1100

 

The SAT's have gotten a lot easier multiple times.

 

Edit: SAT switched back from 2400 to 1600 and made the essay portions optional in 2017. It's difficult to judge scores because of the recent changes.

To put it in perspective, It's a score in the 70th percentile.
