The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. ~ Marcus Aurelius“It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”

If the carjackers were white, would it be racism then? Because you know the media would run with that forever. Especially if the driver was black, but it could be any minority.
Is there more to this neighborhood story that makes it "racist?" I clicked one of the links that had like a 15 second video of the Army guy pushing the black dude and then yelling some more.
Is that racism now? Or is there more to the story? By the time I have a chance to catch up I'll probably have forgotten about it.

"A guy leaving his car to deliver something"? What are you talking about? He was the victim of a carjacking then he was violently murdered.
So let me get this straight, a white dude pushes a black man = racism, no question about it.
Two black teens carjack a Middle Eastern man and murder him = not racism.
It sure sure sounds like the determining factor for you in whether or not an incident is racism is if the perpetrator is white or not. Look I'll even be consistent here: nothing shown in the video looks like racism to me either, but why are you being inconsistent between this video and the white dude pushing a black dude?

In Disney Parks, the phrase in pre-show announcements “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.” has been replaced with “Good evening, dreamers of all ages.”
Why?
"Inclusion is essential to our culture and leads us forward as we continue to realize our rich legacy of engaging storytelling, exceptional service, and Disney magic,” Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, wrote in an April blog post on the company’s website.
So apparently referring to someone as either a lady, a gentleman, a boy, or a girl, is somehow non inclusive, and therefore offensive.
This is beyond ridiculous. We need a new word to describe liberal actions that make no sense whatsoever.
