The activists associated with the Black Lives Matter movement have been busy. Most recently they have torn down or beheaded several statues, including several of Christopher Columbus (in Boston, Miami and Virginia) and four in Virginia depicting leaders of the Confederacy, all of which have stood for hundreds of years and are a part of our nation's historic tapestry. Attacking the works of art with axes, hatchets and mallets, the protesters hoped to obliterate the past, which as we all know is impossible without taking lots and lots of LSD.
HBO Max, always looking to make a buck and thus ever-vigilant on the desires of the public, yesterday pulled the 1939 Oscar-winning film, "Gone With the Wind" from its roster due to its perceived racial, i.e. racist, content. One of the most popular films of all time, the epic tale of the South during the Civil War featured actress Hattie McDaniel, who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her efforts and was the first African American to do so.
Of course many books have to go too. Humorist and novelist Mark Twain, himself a national treasure, wrote the long-beloved, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, about which Ernest Hemingway said, "All modern American Literature comes from that one book." But, having been written in 1884 it contain the dreaded "N-word" that must never be uttered (except by every gold-toothed black rap star who rakes in millions of dollars screaming it into a microphone) more than 200 times, so into the trash it goes. Or at least off of the shelves in bookstores, schools and libraries across the country.
Yet despite all that, racism remains. People have memories -- that's the problem. So beginning in January 2021, Americans can register to have all memories of slavery removed. "The problem lies within our heads," said CDC Director Dr. Anthony Fauci. Speaking to a group of reporters assembled outside the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, he explained, "We now have the ability, thanks to technology and advances in brain science, to obliterate all memory of that heinous time in our history. We can also remove any other unpleasant memories associated with racial bias, including the Holocaust in Germany, anything to do with Hitler and the massacre of the American Indians by the white man. This will allow people to live their lives happily in the present, without past indignities weighing on them."
It us unknown at this time whether insurance will cover the procedure. Of course if the Democrats win in November it will be free of charge, just like a college education, housing, health care, food and clothing.
