anyone here with a classic education or advanced degree?

this story kinda' blows my mind... I'm not sure what it is however something seems off about the situation...

is this an example of 'black self obsession' jumping the shark?

am I misunderstanding the implications? what I think I perceive is the 'experience' of an individual overrides the experience and doctrines of a culture and educational system...? and this is fine in some instances of a culture moving forward technologically and socially however 'I'm black' so you're 'whitey education' is irrelevant to my life... at what point do 'minorities' get with the program? or is being a 'minority' more important than 'western cultural standards?

are we as a society stepping backwards to the 'inquisitions'... and politically correct 'science? i.e. the earth is flat so fuck off and burn at the stake... and you're arguments don't matter to me because I'm black and I'll shout over the discussion and bully my way through the situation..?

if you don't allow me to do this you're imposing 'white racism' on me? what next? fuck quantum physics because I can't understand and I'll just shout and yell and bully until you realize and accept that quantum reality it not true?

I'd really like some input from aware, educated unbiased peeps... BTW if you're just a bigoted asshole like shit bag Larry with nothing of value to contribute to the discussion... just keep it to yourself please

this is interesting as well.... because the very first thing Tariq Ramadan does is attack the question, very reminiscent of the student thing of 'attacking the rules'

Yes, you definitely have a point - political correctness actually acts the same as inquisition / dogma - in other words somebody can be an ignorant leeching idiot but you can never call it out loud in case it's a minority.

Otherwise you get in trouble because you said something against political correctness, which really acts like the "new age church / cult" that you can't ever speak against unless you want to get crucified.

And that, interestingly enough by those same people that are in very most cases just too afraid to voice what they really think to avoid the fierce wrath of other politically correct cult followers. Really resembles the religious bigots in so many ways.
