Evangelicals hope to cancel "Blue's Clues" next for recognizing the letter "P"


The "pride-laced ABC song" that notes "P" is the first letter in Pride has the front for a hate group outraged... over two weeks after it was released.

By Juwan J. Holmes Saturday, February 27, 2021



One Million Moms, the evangelical astroturf group funded by the American Family Association, a certified anti-LGBTQ hate group, appears to have taken a break from being outraged by an “extremely offensive” commercial on electric cars and dolls with fictional family members.

Now, they’re focused on those evil, sinful, “pride-laced” English language letters.

The hit children’s series Blues Clues & You! had a special message in a recent video.

The Nickelodeon show – which is a reboot of the hit 1996 show Blues Clues – posted a video to YouTube with a song about the alphabet. And the song said that “P” stands for “Pride.”

P does stand for pride.

I love Blue’s Clues. It’s a great program about kindness and self confidence. Josh is terrific!

The Salem witch trials

In one of the earliest instances of cancel culture on American soil — running concurrently to the first decades of the cancellation campaigns against Native Americans and Black Americans by White Americans — colonial Massachusetts put people on trial for suspected witchcraft. The trials and subsequent executions by hanging set a violent precedent for the Communist witch hunt centuries later and laid the foundation for a conservative ideology that revolves around fear and conquest. If Salem’s judges and juries were alive today, they’d likely be leading the brigade to rid America of socialists and Black Lives Matter, on and off social media.

The Confederate States of America

Cancel culture can start wars, as it did when seven Southern states tried to cancel the United States by seceding from it shortly after Abraham Lincoln was elected president in November 1860 and before he assumed office the following March. They didn’t just attempt to cancel the Union: In 1861, they launched a protracted four-year military campaign to kill it, all in the name of severing ties to preserve the peculiar institution of slavery.

The Civil War, America’s bloodiest conflict, had far more severe and long-lasting ramifications than any boycott or modern-day agent of cancellation. Its reverberations persist in debates over Confederate statues, reparations, and Black Lives Matter.

Jim Crow laws

For a century after the Civil War, many White Americans continued to try to cancel Black Americans. Once Black people won emancipation, many in the White majority wanted to keep them subservient or, better yet, invisible. Assaults, lynchings, and separate-but-unequal facilities taught Black Americans everything they would later use to launch their own cancellation campaigns — the most notable and effective of which was the boycott.
