    Default Students triggered by Steve Martin's 'King Tut' on 'SNL'

    Steve Martin's 'King Tut' was played during a college class, and some special snowflakes got offended and are now making demands.

    http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/st...rticle/2640679

    Comedian Steve Martin’s rendition of “King Tut” is triggering social justice warriors at Reed College because they see it as a form of cultural appropriation.

    The song, originally performed on "Saturday Night Live," actually criticizes the commercialization and trivialization of Egyptian history and presents a caricature of the Treasures of Tutankhamun traveling exhibit that toured seven United States cities from 1976 to 1979.

    However, the context to the SNL skit eludes students who are upset. They are now calling the song a form of “blackface.”

    The video and song was brought to students’ attention when it was played in a humanities class at Reed to spur discussion. Students became so worked up over the video, however, that they have demanded the course be made optional until alternative coursework can be created.

    The group primarily upset about the video being played in class, Reedies Against Racism, is comparing Martin’s comedic song to the use of the N-word. The Atlantic spoke to members of Reedies Against Racism to get a better idea as to why they are upset about the King Tut song from 1978.

    One member of Reedies Against Racism told the Atlantic the song is “like somebody … making a song just littered with the N-word everywhere.” She went on to say that the Egyptian clothing that the backup dancers wear is racist as well. “The gold face of the saxophone dancer leaving its tomb is an exhibition of blackface,” she said.

    Reedies Against Racism also released a lengthy list of demands which includes a paid day off for Reed staff to boycott the very college they’re making demands to. Students triggered by Steve Martin's 'King Tut' on 'SNL'

    I remember back in school when we for one reason or another had a few days where we watched blazing saddles. No one got offended. How did we turn into a country where people are offended by literally everything. It isn't just uber liberal snowflakes either. I see it all over the political spectrum.

    I've never known a conservative to be a snowflake whiner.

    I suspect that "Thumper" isn't very smart, Annie. Not like you and I.

    So you say.

    You can't prove it.

    I understand why you fail.
