This is a level of insanity that you can't fix.

quote:

Representatives of NWFC would not confirm how much influence Leveen's comments had on its decision, but the organization did respond to her tweets directly in announcing the cancellation.

Leveen also did not immediately respond to WW's request for further comment. But based on her Twitter response, the Film Center's statement left her dissatisfied.

"I think what you meant to type was, 'Yes, we made a grave error in not realizing the implicit racism in that programming decision. We apologize and are rethinking who makes our programming decisions hereafter.' How deep a white normativity hole will @nwfilmcenter keep digging?
"



Why do they all look alike???

White people canceling white people... I sort of like it... but the downside is people canceling folks for damn near anything... plus I know eventually they coming for Black men who will be just as confused...

Does anything make these miserable pricks happy?


I am sure they feel satisfaction...like when they shite all over things other people like and successfully control other people's freedom.

But are they every truly happy? I can't imagine anyone that experiences joy would ever crusade to take other's joy away so fervently.

No. There is no happiness or humor in Social Justice. Only the cause comrade, only the cause.

Has he reached out to self-cancel himself on Twitter yet?

This is the whole myth of “Black Lives Matter.”

The leading complainers, the donors to BLM, and the people giving them their “Marxist training” mostly look like that. Although she is really skinny compare to the average fat arse whites girl hanging out at a BLM protest.

Serial killers, child molesters and people just like this repugnant cretin is precisely why the world is so fricked up.

Traditional values like respect, families, individual responsibility are evil. Even manners.

Insanity.

quote:

But judging by social media, the Film Center seems to have been swayed by one "community member" in particular.

On Saturday, Portland author Lois Leveen—whose writing credits include contributions to The New York Times and The Atlantic and the book The Secrets of Mary Bowser, a novel based on the life of a slave-turned-Union spy—took to Twitter to excoriate the organization for leading off its series with the movie.

"National reckoning on overpolicing is a weird time to revive Kindergarten Cop. IRL, we are trying to end the school-to-prison pipeline," she tweeted. "There's nothing entertaining about the presence of police in schools, which feeds the 'school-to-prison' pipeline in which African American, Latinx and other kids of color are criminalized rather than educated. Five- and 6-year-olds are handcuffed and hauled off to jail routinely in this country. And this criminalizing of children increases dramatically when cops are assigned to work in schools."

In a message sent to WW over the weekend with the subject line "Kindergarten Cop-Out: Why Does NW Film Center Think There's Anything Fun About Cops Traumatizing Schoolchildren," Leveen elaborated on her concerns.

"It's true Kindergarten Cop is only a movie. So are Birth of a Nation and Gone With the Wind, but we recognize films like those are not 'good family fun,'" she wrote. "They are relics of how pop culture feeds racist assumptions."

"Because despite what the movie shows," she continued, "in reality, schools don't transform cops. Cops transform schools, and in an extremely detrimental way."
