Return of The Puma

Hot diggity damn, it has been a minute people. How the hell have we been people? Took a bit of a hiatus from writing regularly because the world is a damn dumpster fire. Given that I am going to take a few moments just to discuss some things that have been quite annoying to me. Because damn it the people demand to know what is grinding my gears at this moment. It's what my loyal 10s of readers need in these uncertain times! So without further adieu I give you the top 3 things that are annoying some people. 

It's me. I'm some people. 

3. Cancel Culture

I keep seeing people talk about PC Culture and how sensitive everyone is and how we "cancel" people over innocuous things. First of all, no one gets cancelled. No one. Not a single person. You know how I know? 

Because Mel Gibson is still a thing.  Here are just some of his greatest hits:

-"You go out in public and it's a fucking embarrassment to me. You look like a fucking bitch on heat and if you get raped by a pack of niggers it will be your fault." This was said to the mother of his child.

- After getting pulled over for a DUI he called a cop "Sugar Tits."

-Referred to Winona Ryder, who is Jewish as "an oven dodger."

How has he been cancelled? Let me check my notes...ah yes, starred in 12 movies, produced one and directed 2 more. If this trash ass human can thrive, there is no cancel culture. Period. People not rocking with you because you did some dumb or racist or anti Semitic shit ain't getting cancelled, it's answering for the shit you did. 

2. People Who Just Found Out Bobby Caldwell is White

Bobby Caldwell is a singer who rose to fame in the late 70s with his hit "What You Won't Do For Love." And despite never claiming to be anything else, every few months a rash of tweets and Facebook statuses with the same sentiment arises. "Wait? Bobby Caldwell is white?!" Yes. He has always been, and never in one of those Jon B. he definitely got a black barber way either. This dude is white, white. 

Not sure why this annoys me but it does.

1. People that are still shocked that racists are gonna racist. 

Yeah, every time some Karen or Chad has a meltdown and yells nigga a bunch of times or calls the police when a black person double dips a chip there is a large contingent of people who are absolutely appalled. "I just can't believe someone would do that!" Really? Because I can! Am I such a pessimist that in most cases I kind of assume the worst and let them prove me wrong? That way it's a welcome surprise if they are a decent human instead of a crushing blow. 

Well there you have it folks, nobody gets cancelled, Bobby Caldwell is white and racist people suck. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. 

Until next time ya'll be easy.
