They want to be able to say racist things with impunity.. Not going to happen...
Not that I agree with it, but certainly understand that it is within their 1st amendment rights to do so. Just as it is in the first amendment rights of black people to make racist comments towards whites. It happens on both sides.
You made the statement "Not going to happen". Herein lies an issue that this section of the white population has. If a white person has an opinion (right or wrong) and voices it and it happens to be construed as a racist comment that person will be persecuted by a section of the black community very vocally and sometimes violently. On the other hand, if a black person says something that is considered a racist comment the expectation is that a white person is to keep quiet and stay in their place. More times than not, that is exactly what happens.
Sections of the white population have grown tired of being expected to mute their opinions when other races are allowed full expression with no concerns to repercussion. So there are some who are speaking out.
Largely, if we would ALL keep those opinions to ourselves we would find that the squeaky wheel would quiet down. With no audience, there is no actor. But, as long as someone is willing to entertain the actor they will certainly remain vocal and performing. No fuel = no fire.
I don't see why that is too difficult for some to realize.
It's funny how a lot of them think those who don't share their views are liberals.
After experiencing corporate America for decades, middle age and old white guys are accustomed to bellowing their conservative virtues as a decree from God, even at work. And when you tell them to shut the hell up, the fall back is too PC. After 100s of years of being able to boldly state, infer and speak as pleased with any consequence or repercussion, it's a hard pill to swallow. Especially the GOP, it's a God-given right to imply that black people are lazy and shiftless, amongst other things. And when the fed gubment forbids such talk, especially in the work place, their whole word is crumbling and now America has become too PC. This is part of the slogan driven "Make America Great Again"...like the 1950/60's when the N word other derogatory comments weren't as frowned upon, even amongst the most passionate Liberals.
Thus, the environment has become too PC since you can't imply or make derogatory comments in the workplace and other inappropriate public places without due consequence. Many times at work I just told em to shut the f up....in a PC kind of way.

And when the fed gubment forbids such talk, especially in the work place, their whole word is decimated to the point of now America has become too PC.
In their world, the environment has become too PC since you can't imply or make derogatory comments in the workplace and other inappropriate platforms without due consequence. Many times at work I just told em to shut the f up....in a PC kind of way.
Understandable, but shouldn't that work both ways? If one group is expected to pipe down that doesn't mean that the other group should step in to fill those shoes. Maybe if both sides were a little more cautious with their words and more quiet this would be a non-issue.
I notice when something racist is said on social media or it general by whites and it gets a lot of backlash, whites then talk about political correctness and not having freedom of speech.
Whites do make it seem like they're the only group "effected" by this so-called political correctness? Aren't non-whites affected by it as well?
Oh no....what did Kanye say this time?
