 The Lion King, which takes place in Africa with only animal characters, is specifically depicting a white supremacist society. The author added, “[B]y using predator-prey relationships to allegorize human power, the film almost inevitably incorporates the white supremacist’s worldview, one in which some groups of people are inherently superior to others.”

And if you think that’s far-fetched, well, imagine Pride Rock to be a pretty clear metaphor for the very bastion of fascism itself, Trump Tower:

I think we have a group that is in a never ending quest to redefine words in search of injustice. They are so committed to rooting out injustice that they create false narratives and create it where none exists.  The real questions is..  are their numbers increasing or decreasing?

coming to think of it, the whole planet has been a place of extreme injustice, long before humans arrived. Every little animal is worried about being eaten by a bigger animal. We really should do something about it.

Who created all this?

Unless you are talking about Mensa, superior? No. More powerful? Certainly.

interesting link, metmike. Thanks

The predator/prey order in nature...hmmm. 

How about in the ocean?

Little fish eat tiny fish... big fish eat little fish...and the apex predator? The Great White Shark!!!

Oh, oh... white supremacy again!

Quite simply, we must have much more government to"fix" all this "injustice".  Only government can "address" this "injustice".  So we should be very thankful that we have so many identifying all of this  "injustice".

Taxes and regulation.!!! Can I get an AMEN..  Oh wait.  That violates the imiaginary constitutional "Seperation of church and state".  

Let's just stick with taxes and regulation. It can fix "Climate Change" too  :-)
