A classic car at the annual Highland Creek Heritage Festival in Toronto has triggered social justice warriors and Nervous-Nelly politicians after a hysterical woman freaked out over a Confederate flag-sporting General Lee replica.
Yes, Ybia Anderson was triggered by the Confederate flag on the car’s roof, telling the Scarborough Mirror:
“I was in shock at first [when I saw that vehicle]. My heart started beating. I’m appalled that I’m the first person to flip out about this. It was very painful for me.”
But this event wasn’t a gathering for fans of the confederacy. Rather, Anderson flipped over the General Lee replica, apparently unaware of the old Dukes of Hazzard TV series.
To be faithful to the original Dodge Charger from the series, the replica sported a Confederate flag but that doesn’t mean the owner is a KKK Grand Wizard.
Even worse, not only was Anderson triggered by the car, she was also triggered because other people weren’t triggered.
And, since this is 2017, the apology parade soon kicked in with festival organizers and politicians, including Toronto’s mayor, all chiming in to express their sympathetic indignation. Boss Hogtown Tory said:
“We all have to be careful and keep sending the message that everybody is embraced here and that historic things that symbolized behaviour that we never encouraged here are not welcome.”
Jesus Chrysler! We’re talking about a vintage car paying homage to an old TV series, not an act of genocide!
Perhaps it’s best viewed with the same acknowledgement that it was a product of its time, much like the language in Tom Sawyer, but that doesn’t mean it’s still an acceptable symbol.’’
Perhaps we should take ALL of history and simply burn it….then there would not be ANY reason to cherish ANY grudge….what would you leftards have to justify your existance then?
There is a lot of misinformation that has been fed to young people who are too lazy to learn the history for themselves.

“How long before Disney is forced to re-write Snow White and the seven dwarves into The woman of color and the seven vertically challenged LGBT members?”
Don’t give her any ideas, she might demand that post haste.
“I believe you’re probably right Randy… Bipolar people use this as an excuse to become unhinged in the world has to bend to suit their reality.. "
Bipolar? My guess would have been schizophrenic.
Schizophrenia:
Psychiatry.. Also called dementia praecox. a severe mental disorder characterized by some, but not necessarily all, of the following features: emotional blunting, intellectual deterioration, social isolation, disorganized speech and behavior, delusions, and hallucinations.
What a loser.

“Watch her implode when she realizes Walt Disney’s Herbie is white! "
and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Cinderella just to name a few, she definitely will need to be medicated, poor thing
Adapt and assimilate or go home.!! I am proud of my culture and I am proud of my country… Internationally my elected civil servant p.m. embarrasses me, nationally it angers me when the many fold over for the few.. If you want a country you no longer recognize have the majority ruled by the minority.
And there’s nothing bigoted or racial about that.!
There were as many or more Irish slaves and white permanently indentured servants and workers in the US as black slaves, a fact conveniently forgotten by history. We hear that there was a large number of black slaves in the US back then, and this makes us think that there were millions; there were about 160,000, actually. A number far less than the millions of Jews Germany made into slaves – another fact that history forgets.
The slave trade was controlled by Muslims. Even today, black Muslims are treated poorly in Arab Africa. There are today many black slaves in Muslim Africa, to which there is silence by the Left, under reported by the media, ignored by Western blacks, and ignored by the UN.
When I hear that SJWs are offended by the Confederate flag I wonder why they are not angered and outraged by mosques, North African and Middle East flags (well, they are outraged by Israel’s flag – where there is no slavery), and Islam. It was Islam that ran the slave trade, and it is Islam that still allows black slaves today.
One day the SJWs will pick up a book other than Dick and Jane and discover that they are so, so wrong. After that get a job other than serving coffee and muffins at Starbucks.
BTW, one of the main reasons for the War of 1812 between the British and the US was that the British were stopping slave ships on the high seas, confiscating the slave ships, and freeing the slaves, The American North and South both fully supported going to war over that. The Brits were enforcing their anti-slavery policy. That was white men fighting and dying for blacks. Why isn’t the Union Jack and the UK revered by black America?
Who knew car shows were such hotbeds of racism and intolerance? Oh the humanity! Its time all these cars were crushed and melted down to expiate for our sins. We’ll call it a “buy back”.
