PC madness running amok in Illinois

I havent heard of this band but it seems that they have been a group since 1987 and the other day the Illinois state fair cancelled their show because the name of the band might offend some people.

The reason given was it "appears to reflect racial sensitivity concerns.”

Absolutely insane!!!


The name of the band is Confederate Railroad!!

JUST IN: Confederate Railroad Dumped From Fair in Illinois Due to Name

The band has been a group since 87 and there has hasnt been a problem until now??

What is wrong with people?

 

They don't like riots. Bad for business. In Hawaii it is well known you do not surf on the north shore unless you know the locals. When Captain Cook ordered his men to fire on the Hawaiians rioting with them, the Hawaiians cut his head off on the spot. To them, a bar room fight involving a hundred people, is no reason to kill people. Rioting is how the poor let the local businesses know how much they love them. The faster the money all floats to the top, the more mass killings and riots we will have. In response, congress gave the military the authority to round citizens up like cattle, so much authority, the Pentagon begged them to put a leash on them.

 

i don't have that kind of time.

 

Actually I've always wanted to listen to Confededate Railroad because I know that Chris Knight writes their stuff and he's my all time favourite singer/songwriter so I think if they're anything like his stuff then the lyrics are going to be deep and emotional.

 

How unfortunate that a bunch of backwoods racist country fucks were excluded for promoting hate, while waiving the confederate flag, drunk on moonshine, and high on wildwood weed.

 

You just made all that up without a shred of information on the group.

 

Any business has the right to boot any asshole out the door they care to, including assholes wearing the Confederate flag. The Confederate flag is a foreign flag of the enemy of the US government, and commonly associated with terrorist activities.

 

Nothing in the article said anything about wearing or displaying a confederate flag. It specifically states the bands name was the problem.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Group's logo

 

Oh yep I see it now.

A train.

 

Now remember, the article says specifically that the problem is the bands name. It doesn't say artwork, it doesn't say logos. Band name only.

And I'd wager there'd be quite a good number of people at a music festival wearing a band t-shirt that disaplyed the confederate flag and I'd also wager that nothing happens.

 

With two confederate flags, Duh!

To give you a perspective, imagine if several boy bands emerged in Germany with the names:


Heinrich Himmler’s All-Jazz Band
Martin Bormann and his Orchestra
Karl Donitz and the Aquasonics
Rudolf Hoess and his Sonderkommandos
Reinhard Heydrich and the Prague assassins
Adolf Eichmann and his all Jewish Band
Klaus Barbie and his dream house band
Josef Mengele.and the twins from Auschwitz


Imagine the public outcry

 

I'd wager their business drops through the floor. The KKK don't exactly attract anything other than KKK.

 

Lol. Good ones. But that's reaching for more shock and awe. What you're looking for is of people would outcry over "nazi Railroad". But this is Germany, this is not America. We don't have much constitutional grounds when it comes to free speech in certain regards. You guys do. The confederate flag is not illegal (though "banned" on government land in some states.)

It is a common misconception however, that Nazi insignia is banned in Germany, as more recent laws have allowed certain historic cultural symbolisation such as runes to be free and national socialist emblems are now also legal, but only for historic military purposes, such as academic work.

Somehow we managed to pass a bill that lifted bans from video games, so we can see the nazi battle flags now in more newer released video games, as they display historical academics.

There'd be no way a band would ever rise to fame on a national festival with a name like that though, in fact they'd have been arrested before the first EP hit the shelves. This is Germany. Even KiSS was banned here because the two thunderbolt esses were deemed to look a little too close the SS insignia. Though I notice every car model that tries to be sporty always ends up an SS version and they pretty much all use the same artistic impression lol.

 

I hope the cycle of KKK, mickey mouse and whatever the fuck the sun revolves arounds ends soon. Find some new material!

 

Germany didn't even allow the video game Wolfenstein sold in their country until the last decade. Fuck the Nazis and the KKK, then fuck them some more until they shut the fuck up!

 

Yep thanks for galvanising my point Einstein.

 

That's how I find new material, I have a thousand pages of mathematical jokes all aimed squarely at the KKK. I'm hoping to get the attention of every Jewish producer of Hollywood movies and Broadway plays. They love comedy in the public domain, and will make Mel Brooks proud I'm sure.

 

Oh I'm sure they're all hilarious and that's why you keep them to yourself.

 

They're all online for free dude... Hello, hello, earth to Irminsul... is your radio still working?
