Political correctness claims the term civil war for its own.

Why not call it the “Fuck History, We Will Rewrite Whatever We Want When We Want” Game or simply FHWWRWWWWWW Game.
All that by a state that is famous for being unwelcoming to anybody from out of state. I have friends who have had tires slashed in Yachats, Coos Bay and Newport. May the bark Beatles start eating living flesh in Portland.

Why is the civil war a taboo subject?. How is that related to BLM. Who makes these decisions and why is anyone paying their salaries.

My read is that “THE” Civil War, meaning the war between the United States of America, is a subject that some who probably don’t even know the origins and realities of the war just…simply…don’t…want to see it trivialized because of slavery.
Never mind that “civil war” has a meaning independent of the American “war of Northern Aggression” or whatever you call it.
We have genuinely jumped the shark.
What goes next? Whipped cream? Is cool whip going to trigger somebody because it’s white and says “whip?”
Don’t even get me started on the hundreds of boxes of crackers in my local grocery store that are now an affront to the sensitive masses.
Or the rope swing in my back yard, which is now a symbol of hate.
Yes, I’m kidding, but only just.
It is very legitimate to ask where does “sensitivity” stop and “get over it” become an actual response to someone’s acquired PTSD?

It goes to three larger points. First, just how truly absurd all this is getting. Obviously the term as used in Oregon related to the juxtaposition of the meaning of civil and war. Second, even IF it is construed as pertaining to THE Civil War, Oregon ain’t Mississippi. Last time I checked, we won and aresult was the freeing of slaves. But we certainly can’t look at (of for) positives in our history. Only negatives. Third, a related point: most Americans have almost no understanding or knowledge of our history.
