Kevin Hart tweeted something not so nice about gays maybe 13 years ago, and Bett Midler who knows what she said in her acts, or any number of other comedians in fact. The 2018 Heisman Trophy winner from OK tweeted something mean about homosexuals when he was 14. There's no evil intent or purpose in any of this in my opinion. How far back and into what depth are we going after people to see if they ever said anything meaan about anyone?.
Humor, true intent, due process, evidence, clear minded mature people . . . ADULTS, should be allowed to say stuff without the PC Police arresting them!
A song and a drink do not lead to every rape! When is consent needed for a kiss of true love as is the requirement for the magic to work in the "My Little Mermaid" story!? The Mermaid girl has legs only for a short while, so she seeks a kiss of TRUE LOVE so she can keep her f**king legs!?
Real racism & misogyny are targets, not EVERYTHING people do!
PC is attaching itself to the #METOO movement is an ugly, nasty-minded, sick way. Remember the story of the Little Mermaid? The mermaid girl wanted to get together with the handsome Prince, right?
It seems the PC Police and #METOO are overlooking the woman has a right to take the initiative! Read how a singing group cannot sing a song about kissing for fear of offending someone!
"Ivy League a cappella group cuts ‘Little Mermaid’ from repertoire amid concerns over consent"
By Lindsey Bever December 4 at 1:19 PM
Lindsey Bever - General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news
"The memorable melody of “Kiss the Girl” from “The Little Mermaid” — and the Princeton Tigertones’s rendition of it — has created a backlash and prompted the a cappella group to remove the Disney tune from its musical repertoire. At issue, it seems, is not only a concern that the lyrics disregard the notion of informed consent but also that the performance plays into it — pulling a man and a woman from the audience, having them dance onstage and, at the end, telling the two to kiss."
This is INSANE! #METOO has gone too far! No Due Process and now No Humor!
Have we gone to far with the Politically Correctness? Yes, it's been noticed already, that is how we got to Trump, the absolute opposite of PC, NASTY and MEAN!
"Master Race" spoken to a black person in jest after a presentation is OBVIOUSLY a joke, even if in the wrong context! Leavenworth, Kansas, Louis Klemp, white, told Triveece Penelton, black, " . . . we're part of the master race." referring to both Klemp and Penelton have gaps in their teeth.
When is the last time something slipped out of your mouth where you recognize it as a giant "Whoops!" Ten minutes ago! Ease up folks! Have a sense of humor!
In Amsterdam, "Black Pete," or "Zwarte Piet," parades thru the street in days leading up to 5 Dec, St. Nicholas Eve, a Dutch tradition since 1850 when the character appeared in a BOOK! It's a Christmas event and the black face person is giving out candy! Ease up folks! Have a sense of humor!
"Zwarte Piet"
"Zwarte Piet (pronounced [ˈzÊ‹É‘rtÉ™ ˈpit]; English: Black Pete or Black Peter, Luxembourgish: Schwaarze Péiter, Indonesian: Pit Hitam) is the companion of Saint Nicholas (Dutch: Sinterklaas, Luxembourgish: Kleeschen, Indonesian: Sinterklas) in the folklore of the Low Countries. The character first appeared in an 1850 book by Amsterdam schoolteacher Jan Schenkman. Traditionally, Zwarte Piet is black because he is a Moor from Spain.[1] Those portraying Zwarte Piet usually put on blackface make-up and colourful Renaissance attire, in addition to curly wigs and bright red lipstick."
There was no racist thinking in developing Zwarte Piet, NONE!
"The tasks of the Zwarte Pieten are mostly to amuse children, and to scatter kruidnoten, pepernoten, and Strooigoed (special Sinterklaas sweets) for those who come to meet the saint as he visits schools, stores, and other places. "

A German joke about the name "Wolfgang," and how this typical German name is given to a black person, is seen a racist? No! It's funny! Ease up folks! Have a sense of humor!
German humor, of course, is "exceptional." Here's a joke they like.
"A British couple decided to adopt a German baby. They raised him for years, however they began to get worried because he never spoke, and they believed that he was mentally handicapped, going as far as to take him to therapy, which was fruitless. Then, when the child was 8 years old, he had a Strudle, and said "It is a little tepid."
His parents, of course shocked that he was suddenly speaking, asked: "Wolfgang, why have you never spoken before?", to which the child replied: "Up until now, everything had been satisfactory.""

Let me document a case of unnecessary PC. Listne up you extreme Liberals, the ones even I will call "Libtards,"
"Wolfgang"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang
"Wolfgang is a German male given name traditionally popular in Germany and Austria. The name is a combination of the Old High German words wolf, meaning "wolf," and gang, meaning "path, journey." "
So if I call out for Wolfgang in a crowd in Germany I do not expect a black person to turn around! Is that racists or just realistic?
Then there is the music sang in the movie "Neptune's Daughter," possibly a precursor to "My Little Mermaid," or not. "Baby It's Cold Outside" is not considered a rape song! This is a 1954 movie and there is not way this guy ina suit and tie is going to rape his party dressed date!
The song is considered too #METOO offensive! OMG! It's about a guy who wants his girlfriend to stay! Don't adults get to ask a girlfriend to stay? I think the girlfriend WANTS to stay, she is just making sure he really loves her or wants her, at least. She wants him to work for it. Normal!
Help us from the hypocrites and fools!
"Backlash as more radio stations ban "Baby, It’s Cold Outside" over lyrics"
CBS News 5 Dec 2018
"Following the lead of several other radio stations in the United States and Canada, Bay Area radio station KOIT said it was banning the holiday staple "Baby, It's Cold Outside," CBS station KPIX reports. Many listeners have said the song heard on countless holiday playlists is inappropriate in the #MeToo era – but others are outraged the classic tune has been taken off the air.
Penned by "Guys and Dolls" writer Frank Loesser in 1944, the song's lyrics describe a woman trying extricate herself from a date and saying "no, no, no," while a man insists that she stays as he moves in closer, pours her more alcohol, and warns about the weather outside. Critics of the song say the lyrics promote date rape."
OMG! This is stupid beyond belief! Are women in the #METOO movement deciding every woman is volunteering to be victim?
