Coincidentally, last night I was watching Am I Racist, the DailyWire/Matt Walsh's new film (just released to streaming), and something similar happens in the outtakes (all the way at the end of the film, after the credits). Essentially Matt calls a bookstore asking about a book by that name (the N word spelled out... yes, that book is real (!!), written by an African American author) and the conversation he has with the clerk is hilarious ("do you have that book with the title that can't be named").

How I ended up finding that book (to see if it's real, not to buy it... obviously!!) is a whole other story. I kinda relived Matt's same cringe experience because Amazon clearly censors the N word so you can't just search for it that way. Also, didn't want to risk Amazon closing my Prime account for searching racist terms.

Prime account or not, you KNOW Amazon is not your friend. Giving Amazon money is a hard one to give up.

You can say that again. Every time I order from them I am disgusted with myself.

And--somehow--THAT explains how WE participated in getting America INTO this mess.

Yes, it does.

But like me, you keep ordering. Let's forgive ourselves. Amazon is a great service that makes my life easier. I gave up Facebook. Isn't that enough?

MS - Ha! That was a great scene at the end of the movie. Lots of people left the theater before that came on. It was hilarious. 😂🤣😂
