josh denny and stand up comedian on Food Network is in trouble.

'"Straight White Male" has become this century’s N-Word. It’s used to offend and diminish the recipient based on assumption and bias. No difference in the usage,' the 34-year-old tweeted.I
personally think people need to grow the hell up. This is an old joke and it is true... and the reaction he got proves it.

@LILY61 There are issues that might provoke anger,but Tweeting had become part of the problem rather than the solution.I don't hope to fit in;ever hear the story about the insane King?
There is a great king whose castle sits high on a mountain that looks over the village he rules over. He is a decisive, but fair leader who has helped his people live in peace and harmony for many years. He is respected by his people and deeply loved by his wife.

The villagers all share water from the same source, a well that sits in the center of their home. One day, that well becomes contaminated with a poison, and anyone that drinks from that well will almost instantly turn completely insane.

After only a day or so, all of the villagers have drank the water from the well, and the once harmonious village is now being torn apart by lunatics. The King and his wife do not get their water from the same well that his people drink from so they are spared from this mass insanity.

The King, fearing for the future of his village and the well-being of his people, descends into the chaos to trying desperately to restore order and harmony. But the villagers suddenly won’t listen to their beloved king. Something is very different about him and what was once complete respect now turns to judgment and fear. All the villagers agree that, “the king has gone crazy.”

The King is chased back to his castle by the villagers who now see him as a threat and are storming his castle, threatening to tear it apart unless he relinquishes his crown because he’s not fit to rule them in his crazy state-of-mind. The King is full of despair, but knows that if he steps down from the throne that order may be restored. His wife has another solution…”What if we go drink from the well? Then we will be the same as them.” Seeing no other way out, and not wanting to lose his position of power, the King agrees.

They escape from the mountain and go directly to the well, drinking its poisoned water. Just like everyone else, they almost immediately turn insane. The villagers find the King and his Queen and are overcome with relief. Thankfully, the have now come to their senses, they are talking and acting exactly like them.
that is so true and so sad at the same time. i could never go along a be insane. it is not in my nature.

@LILY61 Thankfully we are the peasants who blew town when everyone lost their minds😂,not being Royalty no one will demand we go full frontal Facebook!
@bookerdana i would love to leave the country, not just town

I did mean town metaphorically but where would you go? Most of the world has their own brand of messed up politics and social media.
But I do wish you well perhaps you might find a group of like minded folk who could find a deserted island and sail away like the Owl and the Pussycat!☺
@bookerdana it will never happen. i look at people and immediately don't trust them now.

There are sensible kind people in this world but whether you'd want to go on such an vast undertaking without a means of summoning a helicopter is another story
@bookerdana i am just too old and don't care any more. if i were still young, i would get in the car and go.

A car!! That pretty much narrows it down to Canada or Mexico because after that the mosquitoes and parasites will get you😶
Maybe a nice Cottage on the shores of Lake Erie near a small town.
It could happen!
@bookerdana i want my own private island.
