Has political correctness gone too far?

White kids dressed up like the Jackson 5 and get in to trouble for it.

What am I missing? The Jacksons were cool. What's so offensive about that?????

Maybe it's time to revolt and take some people out.

I am so glad that I went to college 10 years ago when this stuff was not as full blown as it is today.

It had gone too far long ago.

If I were them, I would fight this tooth and nail.

dressing up like bubba gump, maybe. but as the jackson 5? gimme a break.

 

This PC sh!t is pissing me off! ARG! I cant even crack a joke anymore because it is offensive to someone. This is getting out of hand and needs to stop. Don't people realize that the price we pay for freedom of speech is the risk of being offended? HOLY CHRIST! There needs to be someplace where I can crack a joke, voice my opinion, or do what I want without being labeled a racist or an insensative a$$hole! I am too upset about it right now to type more.

The oversensitivity must end!

Aren't their constitutionally guaranteed rights to free speech/expression being violated? They weren't yelling "fire" in a theater.

It's way past time to give the PC Police their pink slips.

Who/what gives them the right to decide this crap.

yes

people get offended (leading to political correctness) because they cant handle things by themselves, screw em i say....actually, i say something else, but it appears i get censored here....probably because people would get offended and whine about it, instead of get over it

That's Benjamin Beaufort Blue.
I think everyone who uses the "black guy" avatar but isn't black in RL should have get a ban in light of this situation.

Heck, even Satanic Worshippers have gone PC. They now call themselves Luciferians.
