Ethical Dilemma

My friend, who is woke to the point it’s been hard to talk to him because he gets so red in the face I’m afraid he’ll suffer a stroke, was denied funding because he’s a white male who invited two other white males to speak at his event.

Should I tell him why he was denied? It’s supposed to be confidential but he is a friend. On the other hand, is the enjoyment I’ll feel when telling him a sign that I shouldn’t?

    1. Good question. I don’t know. But I wonder how he managed not to anticipate this. What’s the point of being left-wing if you aren’t awake to the rules of the game?

    So don’t tell him. He’s likely to process his disappointment thru anger at you and to accuse you of violating confidentiality and try to get you formally punished.

    Shooting the messenger is too big a temptation….

  2. Kid, Cliff is correct, an adult white male that does not understand woke, to sense the irrational hatred, is not rational. Speaking of which have you seen this:

    Okay, I know you dislike Carlson, but Williamson used to be clear thinking, well, before he developed a ratbag hairdo with just enough beard to bother his wife’s skin ;-D

  3. He would probably think he deserves to be cancelled. It would be cause of great self-reflection about how he fails to be a proper ally.
