- Is there a point where the "P.C. Police" are satisfied? Are there ever "enough" rules governing the jokes we tell, the mascots of sports teams, or the symbols on city seals? Or should we want a society as non-offensive as the American college campus? George Will, Washington Post Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, imagines what an idyllic politically correct universe would look like.

Script:
How indignant can progressives make themselves? There’s a real competition going on. And it’s sweeping the nation: progressive vs. progressive competing to see who can most flamboyantly claim to be offended; to proclaim that their feelings have been hurt; or that their sensitivities have been rubbed raw; or their serenity disturbed; or their composure discombobulated, by something that someone has said. Or by something they have seen. Such as a Confederate flag or a building named after Woodrow Wilson.
But, actually, I think progressives are not sufficiently imaginative. There are many more things they could be indignant about. Starting with where I live-Washington, D.C.
The Washington Post newspaper is -- if it will pardon the expression -- on the warpath against the name of the Washington Redskins football team. The paper says the name is racist, insulting, demeaning, insensitive, and so on. But the Washington Post takes its name from its city…which is named for George Washington, who was not only a slave owner; he was a tobacco farmer, which some progressives probably think is almost as awful.
Surely the Post should change its name--and should demand that the nation's capital be renamed. Perhaps as Eleanor Roosevelt City. Obviously it cannot be named for her husband -- he who ordered the internment in concentration camps of 117,000 persons of Japanese descent, two-thirds of whom were native-born American citizens.
And there are hundreds of other towns, counties, parks, and schools named for Washington. Such as Washington and Lee University. Good grief: The name is double hate speech: Robert E. Lee actually commanded the Confederate Army.
Washington is not the only name progressives should scrutinize. The word "Oklahoma" is a compound of two words from the Choctaw language-words meaning "red" and "people." If it is intolerable to have a football team named "Redskins," it must be worse to have a state named "Red People.” But let's get back to cleansing America of all mentions of historic figures who were less than perfect progressives.
On the Tidal Basin in Washington there is a memorial for the slave-owning Thomas Jefferson. This memorial should have a "trigger warning" carved into its marble.
Jacksonville, Florida, and Jackson, Mississippi, and many other places and things, are named for Andrew Jackson, the tormentor of Native Americans. All must be renamed for someone who was saintly, as progressives understand saintliness.
And speaking of saints:
Surely good progressives are traumatized by the names of St. Louis, St. Petersburg, San Diego, San Antonio-not to mention Corpus Christi.
Progressives like it when courts rule that non-denominational prayers at high school graduations violate the separation of church and state. Why, then, don't they consider it a constitutional outrage that there are cities named for religious figures? Including Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. That city is-if progressives will pardon the expression-the Vatican of American progressivism.
Progressives should demand that all such cities be renamed for progressive saints. Tony Bennett could sing, "I left my heart in Nancy Pelosi City." Or we could give these places names that give no offense because they have no meaning.

You shouldn't be giving progressives ideas...
+Maverick Yes, with selective editing and minus soundtrack you could easily convert this video into fodder for their cause.
ikr
+Maverick damn I was gonna say that!
+Maverick
Don't give progressives ideas. You have no idea how stupid they are. They will take this satirical view and make it real by starting petitions to rename Oklahoma and Corpus Christi.
+Maverick Point is to think of the offense first & claim it as your intellectual property.
New York should be renamed New Ork because the Y represents the male chromosome, which is a symbol of the patriarchy.
The DS Guy Nice!
im dead
Hey DS Guy, great observation about the Y. But New Ork won't be good either. Didn't you see the Lord of the Rings trilogy? Did you see even *one* female ork? Or even one that identifies as female? It is such unfair, oppressive representation! Furthermore, all those male Orks are essentially toxic and brainlessly aggressive; you can't name a city after anything male.
The DS Guy rename the city, “New Ovaries”
Make sure to spell it Ork and not Orc, because Orcs were created by J.R. Tolkien, who is a dead, white male. We hate them.
Did this dude just out-progressive the progressives?
Whaaaat??
Pretty much.
he out progressive AOC XD
More or less
Sahelium D
Yes. It was/is not that hard 😎
I once noticed a classmate's shirt, a black tank top with the slogan "The Future is Female." When I asked her about it, she said "Oh, yeah I'm a serious feminist." After a moment I looked at her and, as a joke, crossed my arms and said, "And how DARE you assume the Future's gender?!" She was legitimately speechless. Looked relieved when I said I was joking. 😂
I wish I could have been there to see that LoL
You see that's the big ass problem with leftists these days, if transgenderism is real, feminism is futile, but if feminism is real transgenderism is futile. How can women be so special if gender is just a social construct?
When you're so caught up in groupthink ideology you forget how to think for yourself.
You said it best

If we get rid of everyone who offends someone, there won't be anyone left on Earth. Wait, have I just stumbled upon the progressive end game?
I think this is true. Their desire is to make our entire planet look like the surface of Mars. Completely lifeless. Everything gone.
I think it's called reductio ad absurdum...
Progressives are just Thanos
I'm pretty sure nothingness can be offensive too. As everything left into nothing, we realised that PC has already won, but it has been lost because there's nothing left to offend. So everything and everyone is destroyed, but there's no winner or loser in this game. It's no contest. Just saying how humanity was rotten to the core and the only one who could blame... themselves. And for the guy who invented "political correctness" should be ashamed for himself.
Does that make Thanos a progressive? Just kill half of the people on earth and tons of problems will be solved?

A conservative's guide to political correctness:
Just don't do it.
That's the best advice I've heard all day!
Not really. Ever heard of conservative correctness?
"I am not homophobic! I am simply protecting traditional marriage!"
"I am not advocating the use of torture! I just think we should use enhanced interrogation techniques!"
"I don't think we should discriminate against the LGBTQ community! I just am supporting religious freedom!"
"I am not a racist or sexist! It's just that the people calling me that are SJW snowflakes!"
"I am not against freedom of the press! I just am against the proliferation of fake news!"
@@AdhvaithThurvas Re your first sentence, I am a Christian conservative who's not "homophobic." I don't have a "phobia" about them; I don't hate them, I hate their perverted lifestyle and the disintegration of our mom-and-dad-in-the-household families. It's like parents whose child broke the law by assaulting, raping or killing someone. The parent doesn't hate their child, they hate their actions. To automatically label people who don't agree with homosexuality as people who hate them, is wrong. Re freedom of the press, why on earth would anyone be FOR fake news? The MSM is 99% liberal, and they lie all the time. Re racism, libs throw that name out at the drop of a hat. Don't like Obama, you must be a racist. Don't like Antifa thugs, you must be a racist. I have dozens of blacks and Mexicans in my family, and I'm still called racist judge because I'm a conservative.

"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery."
_-- Winston Churchill_
He is 100% correct
@wgdf999 everyone is rich... Isn't that literally what Socialism stands against? In Venezuela, a Socialist country, in which I lived there! Everyone had trouble buying things and guess who the richest person there is? Chavez's daughter! Does that sound like "everynody rich" for you?
When Socialism hits this world, you will regret actually supporting it. I recommend you experience it yourself.
@wgdf999 now, is it Capitalism's fault? Or is it their left inclining leaders that are in charge? If Russia is in that position economically (which I highly doubt) is likely because of the remnants the Communism and Socialism in the USSR left behind
@wgdf999 tell me where you got Russia's economy has been decaying
@wgdf999 does their opinion matter? Or the actual facts?
Dammit, don't give these lunatics more ideas!
;)))
I was thinking the same thing
That was exactly what I was thinking
Don't worry, they probably don't watch this channel. Facts trigger them.
Anti Feminist true.... very true.... but seriously that's some real stuff right there!
I go to a private liberal school in Baltimore, MD. You would be appalled and flabbergasted by the amount of progressive political correctness that is apparent. If you even slightly challenge black lives matter, and if you are lucky enough to have a black girl in the room (theres only 3 in my grade), than they will scream and curse at you and run out of the room crying. Our teachers protect the outbursts against conservatives. It is a rough world to live in if you are a republican, however it definitely prevents you from being a lazy republican.
That's true. I've seen some of the same things at a private college here in New York State. The Democrats don't do too much, but the Republicans on campus work pretty darn hard.
That's false. In my class democrats have the highest grades and so the best in class
anshul sanam We were talking about hard work and being able to defend yourself well in front of those who do not like to listen. Grades are not very relevant to this conversation.
Grades also differ from school to school. In my old high school it's mostly independents who have the best grades, honestly. I think my anecdotal evidence is just as valid as yours.
in that case Democrats don't work hard because they aren't as politically active as Republicans. Most Democrats I know aren't even voting because they could care less. the Republicans I know think the world is going to end if Clinton wins
I have a degree from a public university in Baltimore, where radical progressivism was the only acceptable ideology. I entered with somewhat liberal views. By the time I graduated, I was quite conservative with some social libertarian beliefs. I admire quite a few aspects of classical liberalism...but extreme progressivism is closer to regressive fascism. Regressivism discourages free speech, uses coercion to force acceptance of a dominant ideology, promotes a culture of fear, and encourages hatred.
Regressives often discuss how the republican party fails to do anything about the most extreme members, but ironically don't seem to understand that they are equally as extreme as those they criticize. They use the same fear mongering techniques, have no problem lying & abusing research, and are equally willing to abuse government so they can achieve an agenda through social control.
Gotta’ love all the “down voters” who had their feelings hurt. Proof that what George Will said is dead on!
Please do the same video for Canada. Political correctness has become a cancer there.

Because he realizes how incredibly serious this shit is. It may seem funny until you see the damage being done to people and our nations because of it.
He is an example of a true professional who has full command of his feelings.
This is supposed to be funny, but just wait long enough and everything here will be attacked for just the reason you stated. The progressive offense train never stops.
+ScottishAtheist Just like fanboys of console wars, progressive fanboys subscribe to, and stalk any avenues of media they deem problematic to see what new offensive thing these avenues are doing. You can bet your last *insert currency here* that a progressive has seen this video and wrote a blog about it to get these changes made.
This Is Just Used As An Attack Towards Progressives. I Am Sure That There Aren't Progressives That Would Fit The Description In This Video.
+Ondine 524 You forgot to turn the sarcasm off.
+slavebodybuilder That Was No Sarcasm
+Ondine 524 In that case, I'm offended that they're not offended after all I've been doing to try to offend them.
So basically everything is offensive, sexist, racist, homophobic and discriminant in any other possible way. So you have to do as much damage as possible in your life against all better judgment and that's how you be progressive.
That comment was bigoted and offensive as you stereotyped all progressives together.
;)
Yeah, you're right, everything, lol. :P

+Sam Doo And logic is a tool of oppression by the patriarchy
+Sam Doo you forgot Islmaphoabic and transphobic so your comment already triggers me. xD
Kevin Renner and "any other possible way" is not diverse or inclusive enough for SJWs. Sad times... :p
I'm literally a liberal. I clicked on this video thinking "Oh boy another right wing inaccurate portrayal of liberals". Lol. Then he roasted the side of the left I hate the most. The snowflake, soft, idiotic progressives that do nothing but hurt both parties. Loved this one PragerU. Can't agree with you one most things but on this one you got me.
That's what's so great about America. We can agree to disagree. That might end in the not so distant future though.
The thing about Prager is that even though they are a conservative organization, they still publish a variety of ideas. Even occasionally hosted by people like you, who are self-proclaimed liberals, but express legitimate criticisms of the liberal party.
Thank you for being a big enough person to admit that, seriously. All I ever see are people on *both sides* taking legitimate, logical arguments and profusely claiming they're wrong without any reason why because it's the other side or their pride was hurt or something. It takes a big snowball to admit somebody may be right or at least have a point. Also, I think you should check out more of Prager U's videos, you might find more you like. Dead Locke said it already, but there are a lot of politically diverse people on here talking about important issues. Even if you don't agree with their argument, you're at least more informed. That's why I really like listening to PragerU videos, I don't always like or agree with what I'm hearing, but at least I'm just a little less ignorant about the topic.
I dont know but I think this video is a little exaggerated... I have encounter easily offended people on any of the sides of the political groups. I think we live in a era where anybody is looking for something to be offended and start an argument with whoeber doesnt think like them... Cause now days is not about being correct, it's about feeling correct or appropriate, and making the opponent feeling incorrect and inappropriate and laughing at them on their face. That's what I have seen on every group. Cant have a conversation anymore without being demonized for making someone feeling "uncomfortable". And that is a very single group.
Keep watching. In a month you'll be conservative

Bradley Aiken you realize he's a guy who may bring you from debt to wealth right?

So we do not have the room man. Also did you just assume my presidents views on women #triggered

***** cool, i don't care about feminist in first world countries. honestly im against them if they use government power to suppress speech.
+thisnotjesus using government power to suppress speech is the standard liberal mode of operation. If you're a liberal opposed to government intrusion into people's rights, then you're at odds with your own political ideology.
Ryan Gunn oh really now, i guessed i missed all those trial that overturned laws that violated free speech. hmmm, as a progressive people can say anything they want, progressively speaking there really hasn't been a law suppressing free speech and it would be easy to find because laws are public
This videos uses irony, which is very dangerous when we are talking to or about not so smart people.

Liberals are typically not as offended by obscene language as they are by things that infringe on their precious equality (racism, sexism, classism, etc.)
There are just two things liberals are offended by. The truth and opposition. "Progressives", the euphemism, are all for freedom of speech, tolerance and open expression - so long as it is what they agree with or doesn't disprove their warped ideology. In those cases, one has no right to give their opinion or present the facts.
And all the conservatives offended by feminists, gay marriage and everything Obama does can also kiss your ass too, right?
I'm conservative and favor gay marriage. Surprises you, huh? What about Obozo's legacy...a failed healthcare program, renaming parks and sites to take away the "White" names, and bringing Muslims into every speech he gave. Press conference for hurricane victims, and he mentions that "we must treat Muslims with respect." But he had very little to say about the plethora of Blacks killing police officers. Any wonder people voted for Trump?
We should start giving cities names from Pokémon games, I mean who would be offended by a children's game?!

I think an important distinction needs to be made between progressives and the regressive left. I myself would say that I am progressive but agree 100% with everything in this video.
so you agree or disagree, since most of it was sarcastic
Have another look at the comment, specifically the 10th word of the second sentence.
That is to say, I agree with all of the POINTS being made by George Will, not the literal meaning of the sarcastic positions he takes to make them. It is so obviously sarcastic I didn't think anyone would take it otherwise.
You are probably more of a Libertarian would be my guess. There are a lot of conservatives who overlap with Libertarianism. Me being one.
Steve Prestek you are correct, although probably a soft Libertarianism and I actually prefer Ayn Rand's Objectivism (there is a role for the State), although they are getting closer and closer with time. When I say progressive I mean socially progressive, but I am definitely economically conservative (classic liberalism). I believe in a minimal safety net (so people aren't dying in the street), education for all (equal *opportunities* not equal *outcomes*), and as little government regulation as possible (merely to maintain a level playing field and prevent abuses of money/power). After that sink or swim. Governments shouldn't be telling people how to live their lives, imposing morality, protecting people from themselves, regulating language etc. As long as you aren't hurting anyone the government should just leave you alone.
I congratulate you Trevor, your thoughts and beliefs are smart. In political parlance you would be a "small 'L' Libertarian (libertarian). I think this is what you identify as "socially progressive" but it is really more Libertarian. This is what I have gravitated to myself over the years (Democrat - Republican - libertarian). I believe that liberalism and now what they call progressivism (coined today to dodge the "liberal" moniker that is now derided by many) are largely a bankrupt political ideology (only differing in name) only still with us because of their support in the halls of academia. For whatever reason liberalism and now what they call progressivism became the ideology of big stifling government and political correctness in its most virulent. I think it is because most people will refuse leftist ideology when given the choice so liberals have turned to populating the government and using the courts to press their agenda. Rand can be a tough read but her ideas and beliefs are spot on. Hold your freak flag high and feel the embrace of conservatives but watch out for the hate and retribution of the left. They don't cotton to differing opinions gracefully. At least that is my experience.
I love how they are offended by a building named after a Democrat.
Who?

I've seen lots of reflections on this issue, very nice. There should also be reflections on the damages done in the name of progressivism don't you think? "The other side also did bad things", is a very pathetic defence. And by the way, I see Senator McCarthy as a flawed hero, bite me.
because one Republican made a huge mistake doesn't mean you can make 100!
So because a republican did bad, democrats should be excused?

If Seinfeld attended my last school - I graduated 2 years ago - and if he joked about vikings, Caroleans and stuff, I really wouldn't care. I would laugh ''with'' Seinfeld if he joked about my historical figures.
I blame the fork, the rich white men, and Republicans for me being 10 lbs overweight.
This is the George Wills I used to know...George seems too easily offended by Pres. Trump's unrefined behavior
The most accurate part of this video, that applies to the entire human spectrum, is that miserable people make other people miserable. Since they are unhappy, instead of trying to improve their lives and make themselves happy, they would rather everyone else be miserable too. And that goes beyond political affiliation, religion, race, gender, Etc.
The comment about Thomas Jefferson was unwarranted. He freed his slaves, and concluded that slavery was morally wrong. He did this at a time when this was a very unpopular view. The very fact the Jefferson was included on this list makes me wonder about the factual accuracy of the rest of the diatribe.

I think what some slave owners in the south came to the conclusion of is the same conclusion some come to in regards of socialism. People work harder when its in their self-interest. Slaves will only do the minimal amount of work expected of them were an employee will go beyond the minimal in order to get paid more.
At 5:16 he called them "progressive sensitivity enforcers" aka an SJW. Here you have why this whole video is wrong: a liberal is not an SJW, in fact, most real liberals despise SJW's. Saying all liberals are SJW's is like saying, that all conservatives are racists, while in both cases, there is a big difference.
Difference between modern liberal and classical liberal. Most modern liberals are SJWs. My college campus population confirms this easily.
My high school just got renamed from "Washington and Lee" to "Washington and Liberty." The change is costing millions of dollars and is utterly useless. They polled the students to see how many people actually got offended by the name and the poll said nearly no one.
I was laughing so hard that I damn near fell out of my chair when George will said that San Francisco should be renamed Pelosi land .😂😂
Don't give them ideas!
It's obviously to take advantage of their emotional weakness so they will be preoccupied with unproductive tasks and let is take the wheel in real politics
This video should have a trigger warning in the title.
He forgot about the monument of Italo Balbo (Chicago)
6 years later and all this is happening
The fact that he delivered all of that dead pan, makes him my favorite person
you can't please everyone

The South and it's people should be noticed. They don't go around complaining about PC. They just live their lives and are probably the happiest minority around.
“My goodness that is double hate speech” DYING 😂
This guy has 0 chill...
Well done!
"Double hate speech" God I rofled. I laugh at these progressives.
I don't think if interning 117000 japanese who are American citizens is nothing. It is bad
How things have changed in the four years since this was recorded, tongue-in-cheek.
How ironic that this video would post on Presidents' Day - a holiday that few people even know was built to usurp Washington's Birthday for a meaningless 3 day weekend of holiday sales. So depressing. My HISTORY OF PRESIDENTS' DAY video posted today and I'd be so grateful if ya might check it out! Thank you! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
We should just all leave and give the land back to the natives. The whole country is a trigger warning. Lol
Kingdom of Hush Oh yeah, let's leave the land to the "natives" that came from Asia.
iloveutubesince3207 Really? You do realise that means everyone has to go back to africa right???
Let’s all self deport, folks. 😂 Were all imperials and oppressors.
That guy predicted the status of the USA in the 2020's.
Overly offended people are just miserable people. That's the hard truth.
I'm glad I'm conservative.
Viewers might think all of this is tongue in cheek but it is actually happening in some places.
I Washington state, the most populous county (around highly progressive Seattle) was named after William Rufus King, Vice President in the 1850's when Washington became a state. In 1985 the hard left county council decided to rename the county after Martin Luther King, retaining the King name but satisfying the PC move to do away with old white men as historical figures.
I just realised that youtube at some point "unsubscribed" me from Prager U. "I'm Baack!"...
Truth will out. Stupidity, a child of evil, will, as will evil, consume itself.
I found this funny but true in many ways...
'...or that their composure has been discombobulated'- I'll have to start using that one!
I usually say that my equilibrium has been messed with/bothered.
I once read an article that complained that Lee County, South Carolina, was named for Robert E. Lee. No, it wasn't. Lee County was named for Richard Henry Lee. Those poor wretches who are always on the lookout for excuses to be offended can't even get their facts straight.
Sticks and stones will brake my bones but words will never hurt me.
I'm native American, and not only am I fine with redskin mascot, I love it a and want the team to stay. This is why I hate news people like the Washington post and now the bs MTV news. They speak before others which I hate.
Don't confuse liberalism for progressivism.
I got chills when I heard, my city, San Antonio. No matter how much liberals will kick and scream, we have never and will never change our 300 year old name. We are named after a saint because this city was founded by Spanish Catholics, along with Laredo, San Diego, San Francisco, San Juan Capistrano, Santa Fe, and San Luis Obispo, just to name a few. Even the official center of our city is a cathedral. Thankfully, so far, there has not been any controversy about our name or city center that I am aware of.
It's so funny how he is being sarcastic but it's probably just giving them some bright ideas
Plot twist
He is actually a progressive giving them ideas
Someone should use this video as an example of a slippery slope fallacy.
the problem with slippery slope fallacy is that its only a fallacy that the next step will 100% be taken. Its undeniable that the taking a step up a ladder makes you that much closer to the next step.
The problem is not only that there exist actual lunatics willing to take those steps (which lets face it, always do exist), BUT, WORSE, people are actually giving in to them due to fear of offending and a climate where their madness is being fostered by special interest groups exist.
Liberals once said the same about communism, and now you are trying to push it, despite to it always end up becoming tyrannical and crashes the economy in the county it was tried.
Just having white skin is now considered racist (and people once said that is a slippery slope fallacy and won't happen, yet it did), if you don't support vile hatred and/or don't support the desire to murder them, you are considered Racist or a race traitor. If you say you want minorities to be treated the same as anyone else, that is considered a “dog whistle” which is not, you are basically saying minorities can't be intelligent enough to reach the same bars and requirements as any other person, and minorities who proves that mentality wrong you consideres “race traitors” and you treat them the way you accused your political enemies of doing, and blame them for holding them down, even it's you who are doing it and making them think it would be traitorous to their race and would be “acting white” if they take opportunities to get out of poverty, and when others do become rich and successful and tries to encourage others to do the same, they get attacked and called “race traitor” ”Uncle Toms or Aunt Jemimas” and even the c word, mostly by the white “guilt” liberals, I don't think they are white guilt, they just pretend to be allies, and use your mentalities as a tool to oppressed minorities and when gets a independent thought, they will socially whip them by calling them those awful words and turn others against them. I can't stand SJWs they claimed they are allies, but if a minority acts or think independently, the SJWs do the awful things above and shows the very Racism they claimed to be against, especially if the minorities do become rich and successful, because that doesn't fit their narratives, rhetorics and ideologies... I see them as the oppressors they are accusing their political enemies of being.
Im trigg3red, gonna plai mancrafte now :(

Bacon Grease Break you have the love child of Trump and Pepe as your profile pic and the word Bacon in your profile name! THAT IS ALL HATEFUL TOWARDS MUSLIMS! I'M TRIGGERED!!!!!
I'm suing a grocery store for not carding me for liquor. They should have given me a 'feel good' moment by asking. Now I'm traumatized and my self-esteem is dust.
The best way not to be offended is to stop breathing that way no one can offend you again.
There is a better term to describe it: Oppression Olympics. And I thought there could not be a lamer sport than curling.
I am happily liberal and find this video hilarious, though the condescension is a bit extreme. Just because those in the past did not identify with ones own ideals, does not mean progressives automatically must riot for change. I think there is great value in acknowledging our historical figures, even if they were less than perfect. They should absolutely be remembered and honored for the contributions they made for our country. I would love to say this man is digging too far for an argument, but some people probably do advocate the silly things he brought up.
Justin Good I thing you have it backwards. You're the minority sir...
"Some people"? Unfortunately the radical left has destroyed the Democrat party. It's finished.
I heard of a museum(didn't remember where it was so sorry) which was closed because the confederate flag was banned from showing and also.....ye you mustn't riot for everything but let's look at the reality liberals at least most of them do those things and do damage you know the riots in San Francisco when there was a killed black woman who was kileld by a white chinese woman and she didn't suffer enough consequences BUT the blacks started a riot and at the road there was just a man not chinese american who was driving his truck to deliever things and they throwed rocks at his truck openned the doors and almost killed him.And the damage which they dealt was for 1 billion dollars.....
*+Pe goe* It's like if fundamentalists blocked the entrance to a theater screening the movie Storks because they bigotedly think the gay couple at the end "promotes a gay agenda".
BM So has the radical right with the Republicans
Straight hair on black women is cultural appropiation! My culture is not your hairstyle
