It’s not very often that I am astonished by the sheer caucasity of white people. I’ve written stories about a white woman claiming to have been called the n-word in school because she has bigger lips than like six other white people; a story about a Republican declaring that the three-fifths compromise wasn’t racist; one about a guy who argued with his entire chest that a Robert E. Lee High School shouldn’t be renamed because “Jesus never condemned slavery”; and I’ve written several articles about white people’s bootleg Braveheart anti-mask revolution that they have insisted is comparable to America’s civil rights movements.

So white people can no longer whitey-shock me easily.

But booooooy, when I tell you I was not prepared for this grown-ass white man who wrote a whole ass white-tears-y-fied essay about how he misses pre-woke Disney World-for-Wypipo and how the changes being made to the theme park in the name of progressivism are fucking with his vibe. Now, Jonathan Vanboskerck is being dragged up and down Lil’ Naz X’s internet all because for reasons I will never understand, the Orlando Sentinel decided to publish his whiny-ass shit titled “I love Disney World, but wokeness is ruining the experience.”

Before we get too deep into the rantings of Tucker Carlson’s stunt double, can I just tell y’all how much I wish white people would scrub the word “woke” from their Columbus-ing-ass lexicons? Remember when it was just a word Black people used to describe being racially and socially aware? I’m not sure when exactly the simple phrasing of “I stay woke” devolved into the flavorless screeching of white conservative nails on a chalkboard, but God, I just want it to stop.

Anyway, let’s get into a few highlights of Vanboskerck’s essay which begins with him humble-bragging about how much of his money Orlando gets because he and his family “have been loyal Disney customers for decades” who vacation at Disney World every year.”

1. Looks like it could be a target rich environment for this odd ball.

Better check the lists and make sure he was not on the pedophile registry.

2. Garden-variety bourgeois mentality

"I have the kind of money that allows me to be a loyal customer/consumer for decades - thus, my opinion should count more than people who can't."

You see this among right-wing voters in many democracies.

5. I was amused by that idiot

I have been going to Walt Disney World for 35+ years. I am glad that they are updating Splash Mountain and I love some other changes being made at WDW. I am headed to WDW later in May and I have no problem with the current rules. I am not big into the parades or fireworks so this is not a problem. My kids are doing a sibling trip in July.

I was amused by the satire posted above.

6. I'm sure Disney World will be more pleasant without him

He can go to that Holy Land theme park and commune with his own kind.

7. "I used to enjoy Interstate 4, when most drivers were dozing behind the wheel,

but so many of them are awake now, it's completely ruined the experience for me"

10. " I wish white people would.......... "

Please consider the fact that as Democrats, we are the party of inclusion and do not attack fellow Democrats
on account of their race, religion, sexual orientation or skin color. A party divided can not stand.
