Yeah, Broadway's shut down--the cast of "Hamilton" has been getting together to do singalongs online.
Those Negerkusse's look delicious! I'd try it whatever the name. Over hear we have a brand of butter that's had a Native American woman on the packaging for many decades, and now she's gone, leaving only the landscape behind. So the joke is, once more white men kicked out the Indians and kept their land! I'll bet anything that if the company removed her without saying anything about it, the PC types would be attacking them for that, too.
As for Mark Twain, various people, libraries, and groups have been trying to ban his works ever since he first wrote them.
I guess such events are closed here as well, especially since things are going south again and new restrictions are being issued. Its all drifting towards a new total lockdown again. Well, at least I have enough toiletpaper this time.
Negerküsse are delicious! Only, they are for calories what white dwarf suns are for matter - extremely high density on a small space.
I wonder if you can't find them in the US, I think they would fit the taste quiete well. Its a thin wafer as a base with white, soft, foamy... stuff on it. I don't know what it actually is made of, but lots of sugar is in it for sure. And then the whole thing is coated very thin with choclate.
I just checked, you can get them - but only really expensive:

In Germany they cost about $2, for the box of 9.
Yes, I know Twain was much criticized - but mainly for the opposite reasons. Well, and because he was not a big fan of the church, politicians ect.
Someone who demands to ban his books for racism just shows that he has not understood what he said. It wouldn't surprise me if some of those people have not even read his books.

Oh, I suppose I'll pass on those things--the last thing I need is still another high calorie treat I'm supposed to be avoiding!
Mark Twain poked fun at politicians a lot, so I'm a big fan. His most banned book is "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", which has a lot of talk about slavery and throws the "N" word around a lot. Of course, anyone who actually reads it discovers it's an ANTI-slavery story, but everyone's too busy getting attention by being offended to realize that.

Well, its only a matter of giving it the right label, I guess. Instead of calling it "eating sweets", call it "discovering german culture". And there is much to discover... :)
I often have the impression that many so called "activists" have no clue about what they are complaining about. Its just a way of avoiding being a nobody.

Sometimes when you're young you just want to rebel, and don't much care what you're rebelling against. Organizers take full advantage of that, unfortunately.

Yes, young people hate to think that they are insignificant. That makes them vulnerable to clever people who want to use them.
Over the years I learned that it's a good thing to be insignificant, at least officially. It's a bit like being invisible. Nobody cares what you do, because it's not interesting. It's like being a stone among piles of poo, you appear to be boring - but the flies leave you alone.

That's excellent reasoning, and a great idea!
