Why is dressing as a black person for a blackout considered "racist"? Doesn't there have to be something negative involved for it to be "racist"? It's not like the university asked for people to come as "idiots" & people dressed up as a black person ha. They're simply acknowledging that black people are.... black. Society is so scared of political correctness they can't even use common sense.

I've got some new reading material for ya.

IIRC, Billy Clinton changed his make-up and hair color multiple times during his first campaign, depending on which interest group he was addressing at the moment... Moving on, we were discussing OS blackouts, or the dismissal, thereof?

Basing the decision on an incident that took place 5 or more years ago, (the students involved are probably unemployed shoe shine boys, by now) seems rather silly.

This is why I think Tosh.0 is so important and other comedians like him. They are starting to break down the barriers of political correctness. We needed a certain amount of seriousness to ensure acceptance and equality, but now everything is a knee jerk in our society and I think it could lead to a larger divide between cultures, instead of bringing us closer together...

Tosh doesn't break any ground, he's just an asshole that tries too hard to be edgy.

Don Rickles is/was a true comedian that breaks down the barriers.

It's not every day that you see someone pull the Don Rickles card.

Thread is going down hill, and should probably be closed soon.
