Has PC gone too far?

Electric Sex Pants · 06-05-2016 10:45AM #1

Hey everyone,

I saw a video recently, maybe I'm late to the party on this if so Im sorry.

However the video shows a black woman tell a white man he cannot wear dreadlocks because its "her culture".

Personally I think that this is nothing short of racial harassment and is disgraceful

Here is the link.

would love to hear what everyone thinks

She was a complete dickhead. If political correctness meant that you can harass white people with hairstyles you don't want them to have then it has certainly gone too far. Luckily, that's not what it means.

And what would you consider PC to be?

Isnt there more to that video? I thought he called her a bitch for handing out leaflets or something like that.

All PC bull**** stops at my front door. Enter at your peril if you are a lily livered PC pussy.

Dr Crayfish · 06-05-2016 10:56AM

Any reason for white people not to have dreadlocks should be taken into account

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 06-05-2016 10:57AM

Nobody should have dreadlocks. Dreadlocks are the worst

I have looked at alot of different links but haven't found it, im not saying it doesn't exist but i just haven't seen it. Even if he did do that, what she did in the video is still unacceptable. Plus if shes an SJW chances are any leaflets she was handing out were probably filled with nonsense anyway

I agree. Stop culture rape...When I witnessed president Obama drinking the pint of Guinness. I wanted to say " sup bozo "roundhouse the glass out of his hand and inform him" I'm the new king of Ireland "

Yeah he said he part Irish but so is every tom, dick n Obama nowadays.

"Political correctness" is the snide buzzword used by those who haven't yet mastered kindness and tolerance. If people were kind and tolerant to each other (and yes, it goes "both ways"), there would be no need for mean people to resent "correct" behavior.

Personally I think PC is just a way for people to try and limit free speech. Also it creates a generation of professionally offended pussies

I was in PC World last week.

You need to be awfully careful what you say there.

maudgonner · 06-05-2016 11:04AM

I disagree with her, but he may well be the most annoying creature on the planet. So I'm conflicted and my head hurts.

I don't understand, many ancient European cultures had dreadlocks.

I don't think they were fashion conscious. It just goes all matted if you don't brush it.

Not PC gone mad because I haven't seen anyone agree with her, she's just someone with a chip on their shoulder and acting like a racist brat.

Superhorse · 06-05-2016 11:26AM

Dreadlocks > Mullet.

Also black person in racism shocker...

The 'your rights end where my feelings begin' answer. It's very shortsighted and can be used against the same people that use it.

StupidLikeAFox · 06-05-2016 11:29AM

Tbh I find the outrage over "PC" stuff worse.

This video is a prime example. You have some idiot make some idiotic point that white men shouldn't have dreadlocks. Nobody agrees with her, yet you have people falling over themselves to be outraged *at* her.

Its the same on twitter or pretty much anywhere - you are more likely to be overwhelmed by people saying stuff like "Its PC gone mad" - in reality its one woman voicing a stupid opinion with very little support and suddenly people feel the sky is falling - give me a break!

What a racist idiot. I hate the way there is double standards with white and black people in society. If this was the other way around it would make international headlines.

This poison has become rampant in colleges throughout the USA. Apparently, according to their warped logic, white people are at the top of the so-called "priviledge" scale in society so therefore it's impossiblle to be racist against them. This type of sh!te is slowly creeping into institutions here also.

You opinion is becoming more prevalent now that people are starting to realise that minorities can be just as racist and bigoted as the big bad white male.

It was a huge deal in the past but now that everyone sees that every group is just as capable and as bad as the others it's: "just some fool, who cares?".

When did politeness or PC become a right?
You still have the right to say what you like, and other people have the right to call you rude or un-PC for it.
If you're that thick-skinned, why take offense at that?

Yeah, and yet when it's this way around it made international headlines. It's so unfair.
