    “Dude, the difference is the scale… back then they could hint at it, if they overdid it, that was a career ending mistake”

    That’s really more like a 15 year window because I remember the 90’s and early 00’s and by today’s standards, people were racist as shit and it was considered acceptable.

    Literally watch any comedy from that time and you’ll quickly learn how different the discourse was.

    In the past 5 or so years it’s swung back super hard, I’ll give you that, but PC culture as you’re describing it had barely started in the 90’s and really only got off the ground in a way you would recognize in the mid-late 00’s.

    Clockboy was the biggest crock of shit.

    The kids dad put the thing together and prompted the kid to get in trouble with it for lawsuit bait and to boost his political career.

    It wasn’t even impressive he literally just took the guts out of a RadioShack digital clock and taped it inside a pencil box.

    It was 100% low effort bait, it was literally a timer sticking out of a briefcase shaped pencil box that’s obviously supposed to look like a bomb.

    He didn’t even get in trouble for having it, he got in trouble for repeatedly pulling it out to disrupt class.

    The family got a ton of free shit then a year later tried to sue the city for 15 million and some conservative talk show hosts, all dismissed.

    They then accepted a scholarship to a school in Qatar and moved there in 2015.

    This is such a good example of the dumbass culture war shit that drove people to trump.
