The Dorchester Historical Society has apologized for an invite that backfired.
The invitation for their annual "Holiday Open House" was titled "We're dreaming of a white Dorchester."
They say they were just making a play on the words of the song "White Christmas" and did not mean to imply that others would be left out.
"We are very truly sorry about our graphic used for this event. This was an unfortunate oversight on our part and the event photograph has been removed from our social media. We were simply changing the words to the classic Christmas carol and did not think it through properly," the society tweeted.
"Thank you for alerting us to this matter as we certainly do not want to project that message, even if completely accidentally. Again, thank you."
The title of the online invitation now says, "May your Dorchester days be merry and bright."
[So, what about those not "merry" and those people not "bright" ??? - I cry "DISCRIMINATION!!]
When whites are minorities in all cities and towns, we should make sure an all-white 'Christmas Town' still exists for tourists. Perhaps this all-white Christmas Town could be located in Germany, as they take Christmas seriously enough. It would be a wonderful place full of Christmas lights, sounds, and all white people.
Tourists could visit from all around the world to see how white people once lived, and marvel at all the white sights and sounds that surround them!
Just a few days ago I saw the song White Christmas was on the school song list. And I joked to my wife that I was surprised that anyone was allowed to perform that song.
And now the joke becomes reality. its impossible to satire this stuff anymore. Progs have become so insane it's impossible to make up anything so absurd that they won't actually do it somewhere.

Craziness.
To be fair, that does seem a little ill conceived and riddled with an obvious, if mistaken, innuendo.
That someone failed to see the accidental double meaning and change it seems somewhat irresponsible.
I have to respectfully disagree. I think the complainers (PC puritans) should have known that nothing racial was intended. In fact they probably DO know that, but they don't care. They were looking for something to become hysterical over and a chance to bully someone into submission. And sadly the Dorchester cowards rewarded them for it.

I accept nothing racial was intended. But in this period of delicacy and sensitivity, it seems hard to accept that someone in that organisation did not say "Hang on...that might be open to misinterpretation"...and simply add the word "snow".
On the other hand...meh...who cares.
White Christmas and black Friday...both so very racist :001_rolleyes:

I get what you're saying Brick. We do have to be aware of the times we live in even if what is being done is wrong. I told both of my kids don't tell any racial jokes at school, and never put anything -racial jokes opinions, whatever on social media like facebook or text them, because in this day and age even innocent, completely unintended, slights can get you in serious trouble.
I think some of this got lost through our cultural differences. Most in the US knows that white Christmas refers to the American old song , see below, maybe in AUS this is not as obvious???

Most of the opposition I've seen to Christmas is about the Nativity scene and not something secular about a snowy or white Christmas.
Normally the White Christmas movie is shown a few times during the season...wonder if we will see it this year???

He has that affect.
A man and his wife are sitting at the kitchen table, which is next to the window. The man's name is Rudolph, and since he is Russian, people call him "Rudolph the Red." Rudolph looked out the window and said to his wife, "Oh look honey, it's raining outside." She looks out as well and says, "No, I think that is snow." He looks at her and says, "Rudolph the red knows rain dear."

We don't have the racial tensions (or is that sensitivities?) that you have in the US, and elsewhere.
And if we did, we probably wouldn't care what the Heckling Class say anyway.

Yeah...it's a "dad" joke...

All of this comparing the season to racism or being offended by snow, tinsel or whatever the fuck is getting stupid.
If you dont like Christmas, then dont celebrate it. Simply fuck off. Pretty simple.

I would have to say, he was pretty cool.
My mom and dad divorced when I was 1, and I only seen him 4 times til I started driving, but, the first time I remember seeing him, was out in public, I was 5, and he had his jean leg rolled up into his back pocket. I remember trying to find his other leg circling him lol. Another time, he took me camping for my first time when I was 10, and he had a wooden leg. He jammed a knife right into it while driving, and I was like wtf lol, then he told me to pull the knife out of his leg while laughing :laugh:
He still rode motorcycles with one fake leg. Eventually he got a titanium one, and would pretend he was the Terminator lol, or Lieutenant Dan :laugh:

It was cool to see how advanced those legs became over the years. He hated the early models cause they were so heavy and uncomfortable.
The way he lost his leg, he was speeding, a tractor trailer pulled out in front of him, he slid, leg hit the wheel hub, and he went flying, with his leg separated at the knee. Think he was found in a ditch, after some time. Died twice on the table. They had to amputate two more times cause of infection, and left him with a nub. He liked to shake his nub at his wife and pretend it was a huge cock :roll:

Ohio radio station stops playing 'Baby It's Cold Outside' after listener expresses concern over song's lyrics
"It wasn't really our decision," WDOK host Desiray told the outlet. "It's the decision of our listeners."
Oh, Really" - According to Fox 8, the Cleveland radio station said they conducted a poll on its website with the majority of voters in favor of removing the song. However, the results were not visible online, Fox 8 reported.
A separate poll on the radio station's Facebook page did show results and they were quite different: 92 percent out of more than 600 voters were in favor of playing the song while 8 percent thought it was inappropriate.
In the tune, which has been covered by many artists since its debut, a female sings: "I really can't stay," to which a man responds: "But baby, it's cold outside."

This is off topic, but I hate December. I am hating it more every year. I only work about three and a half to four months a year. It's early to mid December to the end of March usually. Each year, I leave the farm and the old lady to head up to Northern Alberta or BC and to work as a self employed wellsite consultant. I love being semi retired, but full time retirement would be a lot better.

Its not christmas related but recently Kevin Hart (black comedian) had a cowboys and Indians themed birthday party for his one year old boy and the progfascists got after him for it.
Several social media users weren't happy with the themed party. Some even said the timing of the party was inappropriate because the celebration was so close to Thanksgiving.
"As a fellow aboriginal people, ya'll should know why this "theme" is wrong on so many levels. Sickening," one commenter wrote.
"Cowboys and Indians? Can you not afford a publicist who would explain the reality [of] such a terrible idea?" another chimed in.
Others took to Twitter to voice their frustration: "Changing the caption and deleting comments does not make your "cowboys and Indians" party OK. Shame on you @EnikoHart and @KevinHart4real Culture isn't a costume."[/quote]
Hart didn't give in though.

Comment: Normally a black man would be exempted from this treatment, but as with all totalitarian movements , ideological purity is increasingly sought, so the standards of what is acceptable and who is exempted become narrower and narrower.

I love being semi retired, but full time retirement would be a lot better.
Its got to be great for eight months of the year, and suck for the other four.
I have five years and four months until I retire. No horrible weather and prog insanity. I will not miss Canada.
Canada will be losing a good citizen. Their fault though.

Huh? Normally being black would be a get out of trouble free card, but apparently not.
Looks like Stalinist purge.
Quote from: "Wazzzup"
Our next premier, Jason Kenney, has been forced to apologize for comments he made thirty years ago..
Apparently, he suggested same sex partners should not have paid time off to be with their partners who are suffering from AIDS..
I disagree with those comments, but it was a different time then and he has changed with the times.
