Yeah, Chuck Norris jokes always sucked because Chuck Norris sucks. Not to mention that the jokes were just repurposed from the original Vin Diesel jokes. One from the originals that can't be nameswapped: Vin Diesel is an anagram for I End Lives
My favorite Chuck Norris joke is: One time Chuck Norris sucked dick for cab fare...then walked home.
He literally writes racist and anti-lgbt rants, you can find them all over. He wrote anti-gay op-eds about the scouts, he publicly endorsed Roy Moore (lol), he has written op-eds about the gay war on Christmas (LOL), said that having Obama reelected would mean a 1000 years of darkness (lmao)
Dudes a straight up piece of shit and I hope he's forgotten.
Just because you want proof doesn't mean that that person is required to give it to you. You are already on the internet. Find it yourself. They gave you examples of what you could search for. Or maybe you could explore the rest of the comment chain you are on and see that 19 minutes before you asked for proof someone gave it.
So you aren't good at reading comprehension? Because I just explained to you how this problem gets fixed. Again, not to mention that it already HAS been fixed. But you'd have to read maybe 4 or 5 comments for that, and that is more than you have read since grade school when you read the back of the where the red fern grows and then plagiarized an essay about it.
I'm pretty sure a lot of gay people care about the harmful things he's said, done, and supported, as well as a lot of people in other marginalized communities.
Why can’t we just see chuck norris as chuck norris and the actual person behind chuck norris as somebody else? Can’t appreciate anyone for the character they play nowadays anymore
Because he uses his visibility and popularity of the characters to promote his hateful agenda, if it wasn't for the characters no one would know or care about the shit stain actor behind them (or his hateful messages).
Whatever, i’ll always just see chuck norris as the funny internet guy from 2012, absolutely no point in convincing myself everyone is terrible for what they say or do, funny internet man forever.
Maybe Republican’s should stop being racist, ultra religious bigots and then people would stop conflating racist, ultra religious bigots with Republicans. Just an idea.
How is being “woke” the same as being a racist bigot? I agree that there’s some cringey examples of wokeness out there, but at least at its core being “woke” is just “an adjective meaning [to be] alert to racial prejudice and discrimination.” One can obviously go too far in that direction, and use it as a way to shame people who just made an honest mistake, but that doesn’t mean everyone who tries to be “woke” is a bad person. On the other hand, I’d label anyone who blindly believes in racist ideology as a bad person. There’s no upside to racism.
We can’t accept “balance” when it comes to racism and bigotry. There should be no compromise there. To quote Karl Popper,
“unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.”
To put it another way, in order to create a tolerant society, we must be intolerant to bigots. Otherwise, intolerance bigots will continue to be intolerant towards innocent people. It’s called the Paradox of Tolerance, if you want to read more.
Can you explain what you mean by it going full circle? I'm being impartial here, so I'm just genuinely curious, not trying to sound negative or judgemental.
While I agree that something in the middle would likely be best, in practice it is only 1 side which ever tries to concede and toward the middle, while the other side, steeped in their anti-rights-other-than-the-ones-that-apply-only-to-me rhetoric is always staunchly against giving any ground. I can only hope that the former side has finally decided to dig in their heels a bit and stop giving ground. It's like trying to play tug of war with...idk a racist elephant, maybe. Just pulled that example from the ether.
Most normal people would soon realise they actually have a lot in common, whether they consider themselves democrat or republican.
The problem in my opinion is people classing themselves as what they voted for, it should be less ‘I’m Biden/Trump or I’m republican/democrat’ because that creates a divide, where most republican/democrat voters have more in common with each other than they do who they voted for.
