New level of political correctness stupidity

[96dreamer]

Thought this would be like by some one here. I feel like people spend all their time looking for senseless shit to bitch about. The fact that some people see a legitimate problem with this enough to complain blows my mind.

I just shake my head at stuff like this. I'm like, "are you kidding me". Then again, I'm not surprised at the stupidity of the times we live in. :nonono:

Lol that was pretty funny. I wouldn't care if I saw it but definitely some bias by whoever made it.

At what point does this racist thing turn into the boy who cried wolf... at how many people claim racism. Where we finally " yeah whatever" and just blow em off

For me were already waaaaaay past that.

So.

That's two white kids "not cool"

To.

Four black kids not cool.

I guess nobody has been to a public pool lately?

Just remember to bring a good supply of Baby Ruth bars with you to toss in the water.

I hope someday I have so few problems to worry about that things like this are actually a priority.

That lady must live on easy street. Nothing else in your life to worry about?

Inferring she lives on Easy Street means you must be racist! (Sarcasm...)

The "racist" label gets thrown around like the "communist" label during McCarthyism during the 50's. There is a "racist" hiding behind every tree...and like the 1950's once you have that tag publicly you are ruined. It is used by the left as a weapon.

what amazes me even more so than some meddling woman with an opinion, is that the post actually published an article about it. Will we have to scrutinize every publication and half-asked piece of artwork for subversive offensive and subliminal material?

Colorado is quickly becoming California 2.0 these days.

Ironically, our news media here in the state doesn't typically air or publish this type of crap.

I saw it on the news last night :/

Fortunately, you can tell by the tone in their voices that they think it's bullshit too.

Pretty ironic that all the blonde-haired kids of lighter complexion are labeled as "cool" while all the "not cool" kids are depicted as darker complexion.

I guess the artist has had bad experiences with minority children at public pools...

Did you even look at the poster?

This isn't the first time for this type of racism over reach. There was the cheerleader recruitment poster awhile back where they had only put a pic of a single white girl and no one else on the poster. It hit the news as being racist. People who search for it can find it anywhere. What's the answer? Segrigation? That will end racism right? (sarcasm)

looks like a white girl isnt cool either

Actually I wasn't giving this much thought but on second look it's a very dark complexion child pushing said "white child" into the pool.

I haven't decided if they depicted the dark complexion kid in the pool as drowning or something else lol.

edit: can't say black.
