You raise a beast, and you're bound to be consumed by it. Political correctness is a beast you cannot tame.

It's like they want to fit everyone in the same small box.

Detroit firefighter fired for bringing watermelon to station
http://www.fox2detroit.com/news/local-news/detroit-firefighter-fired-for-bringing-watermelon-to-station
DETROIT (WJBK) - Earlier this month, 41-year-old Robert Pattison went to introduce himself to his fellow firefighters at Engine 55 at Joy and Southfield in Detroit. Second Battalion Chief Shawn McCarty calls it a tradition for firefighters.
"It's not mandatory, it's voluntary," he says. "You come in bearing gifts. The usual gift is doughnuts, but you are allowed to bring whatever you want to bring in."
And Pattison, a probationary firefighter, decided to bring a watermelon wrapped in a pink ribbon. We're told some African-American firefighters were instantly offended, since 90 percent of the people who work at Engine 55 are black.
"When you get your first detail at a firehouse you pretty much know what you are getting yourself into," says Patrick Trout. "So you would have to say it was probably a bad call."
FOX 2: "Is it racially insensitive to bring a watermelon into a fire house?"
"To some people," McCarty says.
FOX 2 spoke to Pattison by phone, who claims it was not a joke - and he did not mean to offend his fellow firefighters. But he clearly did. Fire Commissioner Eric Jones says the Fenton native was officially discharged.
In a statement Jones says: "There is zero tolerance for discriminatory behavior inside the Detroit Fire Department. On Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017, at Engine 55, a trial firefighter (probationary employee) engaged in unsatisfactory work behavior which was deemed offensive and racially insensitive to members of the Detroit Fire Department.
"After a thorough investigation, it was determined that the best course of action was to terminate the employment of this probationary employee."
In a world where racial tensions run high, some tell me the trial firefighter should have known better. Trout doesn't know if he meant anything by it - but feels it was a bad choice.
"For sure by far it was,"
The question is did DFD take it too far?
FOX 2: "Should he have lost his job over a watermelon?"
"I don't think so," McCarty says. "Between what he did and what was there are a few things that could have been done."
pure craisiness
this thread is the pits, gotta go to bed now because I am all out of juice. I have an early concord flight to napa valley tomorrow morning, gotta peel myself out bed before the wife stomps on me.
Too many pussies won't just say "You know what, I don't give a fuck that you're offended by something. Go cry to your momma."
with 24/7 news, you have to fill up the time with something to put on the air.
"news", analysis, and group-discussions about a soap commercial fills in quite a bit of air time.
If you don't see any issues with the Dove commercial then you're a fucking idiot. But I understand how it's hard to think independently in this hyper politicized environment.Dove, one of the most inclusive companies for both race, and different body types has been accused of racism in a new ad. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/10/...-14&sk=&cvid=A8D953BD87C2441688FA4B1FCF024825
Here, they are accused of body shaming for having different bottle shapes to represent different body types.

And let's end with criticism of dr Seuss's past works and the museum. As well as the cat and the hat poking fun at black stereotypes.

You can't even go one day without something triggering folks these days.
