Laura Ingalls Wilder's name has been removed from a writing award because her books display stereotypical attitudes and racial language. What does this mean for modern society? Are we supposed to learn from the mistakes of our past? Or pretend as though they never happened so we can never learn them again? It's time to stop sanitising and denying the past to make yourself look good! I'm sick of it. I want a skinny latte and a cup of sugar-free hazelnut syrup. I just want a f***ing coffee, mate! It's 6:30am and I'm scheduled to have an interview in 20 minutes, and I just need the f#cking caffeine! Give me my f#ckin' skinny Latte! I think you'll appreciate it. xo - The Duke - The Duke of Cambridge - Vogue Magazine - Vanity Fair - Time - The New York Times - New York Magazine The New Yorker - People s Guide to Women in Business - This Is My Life - And so much more! - This Is Why I Can't Have It All - - And This Is Not What I Used To Do It - And So Much More! - And I'll Tell You What I Think About It - and This Is What I'm Working On Next - And How I'm Gonna Do It, And This Will Make Me Do It In A Better Next Time - And Here's What I'll Do It's Not Like That - And That's Not Even Close To Me, And It's A Good One - And Then I'll Figure It Out How I'll Say It Out In A Day - And Other Things That I Can Do It Next, And I Can Have It Like That I'll Hear It In The Next Thing - And It'll Have It In My Life And See It In Five Minutes - And There's A Little More Than That, And So On And So I'll See How I Can Help You Do It And See How It Feels Like That In A Positive Tone - And A Bigger Than That And This One, And That Will Be My Reaction To It, and This One's Reaction To That, and That's My Thoughts On This, And Here Will Be The Other Thing I Can Say It In Words And A Few Other Than That And That'll Be My First Thing, And There Will Be More Like That, And I Will Hear It,
00:00:00.000Guys, check this out. This is one of the most real videos I've seen talking about the insanity of modern cancel culture and the stupidity of our society today, where we can't even fathom that maybe things that were written a hundred years ago have some less than awesome language in them, less than awesome innuendo.
00:00:21.000But rather than just accepting that and learning from those mistakes, we got to cancel them and pretend that they didn't happen.
00:00:28.000Check out what this, I guess he's a reporter, does.
00:00:34.000It's a little aggressive for, you know, a weekend morning.
00:00:37.000But check it out because he takes down cancel culture and the stupidity of our society today.
00:00:42.000And rather than learning from the mistakes of our past, we have to pretend as though they never happened so we can maybe not learn anything and make them again.
00:00:51.000Check it out. It's one of the great sort of takedowns of this modern day stupidity I've seen.
00:00:57.000Well, it's a beautiful day, so we're up on the studio roof.
00:01:01.000Today we're going to be discussing Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of The Little House on the Prairie books, whose name has been removed from a writing award because her books display stereotypical attitudes and contain racial language.
00:01:13.000I mean, for f***ing sake, I'd be f***ing amazed if they didn't.
00:01:16.000Frankly, these books, they're based on the author's childhood between 1870 and 1894.
00:01:22.000That's like five years after slavery was abolished.
00:01:25.000The books were written during the Jim Crow laws.
00:01:28.000It's almost as if cultural norms aren't fixed and changed with the passage of time.
00:01:57.000We live in the most inclusive, progressive, diverse, prosperous society ever in human history, yet we behave as if we've never had it so f***ing bad.
00:02:05.000We're told that there is prejudice wherever you look, because there aren't enough female biographies on Wikipedia or enough BAME cyclists on the road.
00:02:14.000Apparently the biggest challenge to London cyclists is not safety, it's diversity.
00:03:45.000I'd like a skinny latte, please, with one pump of sugar-free hazelnut syrup.
00:03:48.000Would you like it in a cup that publicly displays that you're happy with the notion of same-sex couples having the right to- I just want a f***ing coffee, mate!
00:03:56.000It's 6.30am and in 20 minutes I'm scheduled to interview Amber f***ing Bud!
