Mary Poppins branded racist by US academic in 'blackface' row over scene covered in soot www.standard.co.uk/news/world/us-academic-sparks-mary-poppins-blackface-row-a4056126.htmlThe classic family film Mary Poppins has been branded racist by a US academic who accuses Dame Julie Andrews of 'blacking up' with soot while dancing with chimney sweeps. In a piece for the New York Times, Professor Daniel Pollack-Pelzner criticises one of the film's iconic moments, when Mary Poppins joins Dick Van Dyke's Bert to dance on a rooftop for the classic song Step in Time. He writes: "When the magical nanny (played by Julie Andrews) accompanies her young charges, Michael and Jane Banks, up their chimney, her face gets covered in soot, but instead of wiping it off, she gamely powders her nose and cheeks even blacker." "This might seem like an innocuous comic scene if Travers’s novels didn’t associate chimney sweeps’ blackened faces with racial caricature. “Don’t touch me, you black heathen,” a housemaid screams in “Mary Poppins Opens the Door” (1943)." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I suppose that it is now racist for our soldiers to darken their faces before they go into battle. It is much better to expose themselves and die, to prove they are not racist. That is so much more important than preserving their lives and winning a battle.

Liberalism is a mental disease. The good thing about all this is that a lot of people that have always considered themselves Democrats are now abandoning the party. It is like what Ronald Reagan said, "I did not leave the Democratic party, it left me." And that was back in the 70's!
John F. Kennedy could not receive the nomination of the DNC these days.

You hit the nail squarely on the head, Virgil.

Well, there is the other possibility that the great delusion has already begun . . . I liken it to a transition period between one dispensation to another. These people have for decades believed the lie and worshipped the creature over the Creator. It only makes me believe that we are very close to the Lord's return.

I think you are right about the beginning of the delusion...and this being a transition period.
