Why should I care about anyone who likes wearing Blackface?

And "wearing blackface is racist" is not an opinion. It is a fact. Period. No room for another opinion. Got any issues with that? Tough.

This is not about at will employment and employers making independent decisions. It's about PCism dictating to everyone including employers to punish those who don't act in accordance to PCism.

You've gone ham trying to defend racists the last few days, absolutely dominating these threads.
I'm sure it's troubling to see that even as the political landscape has moved in your direction, that society and businesses have taken it upon themselves to make things right.

Political Correctness is a good thing. It literally is just another way of saying be good to your fellow man, and try not to offend them based on who they are.
If someone isn't capable of adhering to that while their job has them dealing with the public, then they are not qualified for the position.

This isn't SJW's gone too far, this is civilized society.

But see that's just a narrow and intolerant opinion.

It is societal TYRANNY, the same as Tech/Social Media censoring speech they don't like. We now have corporations using their power of employment to act like government to oppress, and control.

Wrong again. It's racist, stupid, and she got herself fired.

I'm defending freedom from PCism and leftism which I believe is rooted in racism.

I don't know if this woman is racist. She might be a huge fan of Destiny's Child. Her employer had the right to fire her through. However, for future reference

1.) Don't dress in blackface.
2.) Delete any shots of you in blackface from social media.

Problem solved.

It is tyranny and dictatorship coming from the Democrat party and globalist. Not everyone is fooled here.

It is not an opinion, it is a fact. Don't try to pull that "please tolerate the intolerable" crap. It is a fact that blackface has historically been and still is a very racist thing. Don't like that fact? Too bad. It is what it is and I'm very "intolerant" towards it. Period.
