Gone, Extinct, No More, Compliments of "Cancel Culture"
First, it was the Jihad Culture’s contention that Gone With The Wind was a reminder of institutional slavery and has to go. And so it is now Gone. Just like yesterday’s wind, it is no more. The classic film has met the same fate as the Dodo bird and the Tasmanian Devil. Both are now extinct, gone the route of the Pony Express. Now it is Aunt Jemima. SJW’s joined by academia gurus and a myriad of radical activists claim it is “an image that harkens back to the antebellum plantation... is that kind of stereotype is premised on this idea of Black inferiority and otherness.” Did Quaker Oats, a subsidiary of PepsiCo suddenly become “WOKE”? Or, are they acquiescing to a minority of a subgroup within a subculture who has awakened from a societally induced slumber, thus “were self-aware,” and now are “WOKE.” Judging by the social upheaval we currently daily witness, they indeed are “WOKE.” As one who is somewhat skeptical of Corporate and Social Activist Group agendas, Progressive Politics, and revisionists of history, I find it hard to swallow those product representative icons, statues, Memorials, trademark images will now cause others to presently question the dominant paradigm and strive for something better. In no way do I believe Quaker Oats, or any large business enterprise who are threatened with the possibility of being “Canceled” by those identifying with the “Cancel culture” or “Call-out culture,” would acquiesce to the demands of SJW’s, and so on and so forth Truth is, “Cancelling” them out, would result in a sharp decline in relevance and the bottom line... profit$. It’s not the cause resulting in change. It the power of the bottom line.
