Now Seinfeld slams Political Correctness

[Pete7469]

There is no better place than college for young people to hear things that challenge their belief systems, to learn the value of curiosity, to be taught that an open mind is a good thing and that the world is a big place.

Instead, they've gone in precisely the opposite direction. What a shame.

"Now Seinfeld slams Political Correctness"

One can't 'slam' something that doesn't exist.

Everyone knows it does, except you.

.

 

[Mac1958]

Yep.

The PC Police are very happy to see these kids being as intolerant, closed-minded, incurious and nasty as they are.

.

 

[G.T.]

Intolerance is the backbone of America.

God bless.

 

[NoNukes]

First it was Chris Rock, now Jerry Seinfeld is slamming our closed-minded, intolerant, bigoted, PC-consumed college kids:

Seinfeld slams politically correct students for hurting comedy They just want to use these words that s racist that s sexist that s prejudice - Salon.com

Speaking on ESPN Radio’s “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” on Thursday, Jerry Seinfeld weighed in on the issue of political correctness as it pertains to comedy. Asked by Cowherd if PC culture hurts comedy, Seinfeld responded definitively: “Yes, it does.”

He went on: “I don’t play colleges but I hear a lot of people tell me, ‘Don’t go near colleges, they’re so pc.’ I’ll give you an example: My daughter’s 14. My wife says to her, ‘Well, you know, in the next couple of years, I think maybe you’re going to want to hang around the city more on the weekends so you can see boys.’ You know, my daughter says, ‘That’s sexist.’ They just want to use these words. ‘That’s racist. That’s sexist. That’s prejudice.’ They don’t even know what they’re talking about.”

Good for you, Jerry. The long-overdue backlash continues.

.

Well, the truth is a *****, ain't it? Hell, you can't fart on a College campus these days without being labeled as "contributing to global warming" or some other communist bullshit.

There is no better place than college for young people to hear things that challenge their belief systems, to learn the value of curiosity, to be taught that an open mind is a good thing and that the world is a big place.

Indeed. 45 years ago University was a place of learning and curiosity. Today? It's about indoctrination into a liberal system of lies and deception by over paid tenured hippies. Social Engineering.

Nothing more than that.

45 years ago us tenured hippies were going to college. The atmosphere was not different than how it is described on this thread. too bad you were not there.

 

[G.T.]

I don't know if they are being PC or just dumb asses, hard to tell.

Colleges are nothing more then money mills. Basically they are High School plus but without that one will have a hard time with getting a good job. So like the health care industry colleges have us by the short hairs and ain't letting us go, unless we run out of money.

Wow, someone who actually addresses the thread, thanks.

The PC Police are, predictably and transparently, avoiding and deflecting.

.

That post did not address the thread topic. That post simply took a shit on colleges for being a poor investment. But....it didn't disagree with you.....so it's a great post.

Exactly.

On topic:

sodomy was illegal.
slaves were not considered humans, legally.
women were not allowed to vote, legally.
interracial marriage was illegal.
gay marriage was and still is in many cases illegal.
schools were segregated.
rock music was of the devil.
wearing your shirt untucked, like carb said, was ohhh me gaddddzzzzz



Culture is far more accepting and far less p.c. these days, but to the intolerant bigots who ARE the ones left being "p.c.'d" against, there's a "rampant movement!!!" to censor them saying n_igger and ****** or forcing their businesses to follow already existing public accommodations laws.



I mean, really? stfu.

Dipped, ducked and dodged.

 

[Ravi]

I wonder if people like Seinfeld and Bill Maher et al understand that some students protesting their appearance at a college is an exercise of the same free speech right they're claiming for themselves?

Not to mention the free market in action.

 

[Pete7469]

Im not even -->. That concerned.


Think of it like this: would any non shit for brains investor purchase interest bearing notes that he is not CONFIDENT they will not default?

Theyre not just tossing money at us as a hail mary for shits and giggles on a prayer, they are studied, brilliant minds by virture of their wealth and influence in the world and WE are one of their wise investments.

And who do we owe the VAST majority of the debt to, or in more precise terms who is.buying these notes the most?

Britain?
China?
Russia?



No, us citizens.

So if we somehow defaulted because lightning struck, the stars were lined up right and our assetts were all devalued........its not china coming for our heads.

Its ourselves.

Be that as it may, and I am not an economist nor will I pretend to understand any of the nuances, having a debt at %60 of GDP can not be a good thing. I'm sure there are countries way worse off, but I would much prefer a debt closer to %10. Mainly because interest rates could rise dramatically.

I do find it amusing however that the moonbat messiah and blithering idiots like him were howling about $6 Trillion of debt, and they've tripled it with narry a hint of dissent from their regressive sycophants.

political correctness is everything that is anti-American. America stands for freedom and freedom is the ability to say as you please.

No, america started as a very "politically correct" prude ******* place .....

If you befriended a slave....oh noes taboo, taboo.

If you cussed, or looked at porn, or liked rock and roll, or.elvis gyrated his hips....taboo taboo taboo......sex was a no no to talk about.

All p.c.

No wearing hat at the table, its "offensive."

Political correctness is just a new sticker on an old as dirt meme of.busy bodies everywhere......cuz guys like mac need a label for their demons.


If this is new to america youre socially stunted. We are WAY looser today than ever before. Interacial couples arent "offensive" as they once were. "Gays" arent scary. Ooohh....noes. hes that f word? Disown him jethro!

Our nations backbone culture was engulfed in "pc" all along. Mac just cares now because he probably wants to say the n word. Boohoo

he happens to be 100% correct and was able to back it up.
Puritan of the days of old is PC of today.( I mean Puritan in the layman term...not the religious term)

However......

Back in the day, if one were not puritan, others may have frowned on them, but government did not get involved. Now, if one is politically incorrect, elected reps lead the cry for boycott, new laws, and investigations.

Wtf are you talking about?

It was ILLEGAL to marry interracially.
It was ILLEGAL to dance a certain way on tv.
Segregation was mandatory in schools.

Are you fffffffffffucking kidding me?

Sodomy.....was illegal.



Conservative really do have a warped rose colored glasses view of the past, which is why they are arrogant and stubborn in the face of corrective moral change. And no, i dont mean MANDATED moral change, you know? Like we actually DID used to do.

we were talking about political correctness.....not law.
one who married interracially was not being politically incorrect. They were breaking the law

Back in the day, one was not politically correct if they showed too much skin...i.e. short sleeves on a dress....but it was not against the law.

You changed the conversation in an effort to show me how I am wrong.

Stick to the topic.

Seinfeld has never used humor that took shots at people. But it's true that people have lost their sense of humor.

Those laws ARE political correctness being MANDATED

Jerry Seinfeld and the Progressive Comedy Pause Ricochet

Tell a joke to a liberal. Between your punchline and his laughter, there is a Progressive Comedy Pause. In this second or two, the liberal will process the joke to make sure he is allowed to laugh.

Is that joke racist? He mentioned Obama, but didn’t make light of him, so to speak. He also mentioned Michelle, but I didn’t notice sexism. Is it dismissive of the LGBTQIA community? Latinos? Muslims? Vegans? Will this joke hurt progressive causes? Will my laughter trivialize oppressed communities? Will I appear intolerant? I think it’s okay if I laugh. Yes, I’ll laugh now to signal my appreciation and to indicate that I’m not a joyless liberal scold.

“Ha ha.”

More and more, comedians are realizing that their progressive allies are the ones trying to silence them, not those unsophisticated conservatives comics love to mock. Perhaps comics should seize this opportunity to joke about humorless liberals before it’s too late.

[NYcarbineer]

Of course no one bothers to look at conservative political correctness on conservative campuses.

At least they don't beat around the bush at those colleges, as exemplified by this gem from the Bob Jones University handbook:

See? That's the way you do it. Make free speech and freedom of the press against the rules at your school.

Problem solved!!!!!!

 

[Edgetho]

dimocraps are the scum of the earth --

period

Univ. Of California’s List Of “Microaggressions” Includes Saying The Phrase “America Is The Land Of Opportunity”…
In other words, belief in American exceptionalism is racist.

From a University of California faculty seminar on “diversity in the classroom” comes this worksheet on microagressions: Tool: Recognizing Microaggressions and the Messages They Send

Other phrases recognized as microaggressions:

“America is a melting pot.”

“I believe the most qualified person should get the
job.”

“Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work
hard enough.”

HT: NRO

 

[NYcarbineer]

Yes, every time you lose an argument you drag out a ***** ass remark like that.

"Lose an argument".

Gee, I don't see a scoreboard. Must be the one in your head.

And yes, the reaction of the PC Police to my posts about them are very illustrative.

Somehow, you folks don't realize that.

,

You accuse me of being PC and have yet to come up with one example to support that accusation.

Why is this so important to you?

Go ahead, tell us.

.

You started the thread, nummie.

And you were forced to take it personally and go mental?

Well, that's terrible!

So anyway, why is my opinion so important to you?

.

Why are the opinions of the people you call the PC police so important to you? ...since you obsess on them...

eliminating dimocrap scum from the planet surface should be EVERY Patriot's obsession and duty

Like eliminating the Plague, or Locusts, or Polio or AIDS.

dimocraps are a disease and should be looked at as such

They have caused this country great damage, they have caused multiple generations of Black Americans great damage, they continue to lie and intimidate and destroy honest conversation on a variety of topics.

Yeah, that does really bother me. Guilty as charged.

And you didn't answer my question, of course.

Seinfeld did not say those words. Why are you presenting them as if he did?

Who has tried to silence Seinfeld? Any names?
