Water is wet and PC police in this country are out of control - Clorox Tweet

Clorox caught heat from social media users after a seemingly harmless tweet was taken out of context.

What the frick is happening to us? I don't see how this could possibly be considered even remotely offensive.
We are going to hell in a hand basket.

The tweet, which Clorox (CLX) since deleted, showed a Clorox bottle made up of the new emojis released by Apple (AAPL, Tech30) as part of this week's iOS 8.3 update. Clorox tweeted, "New emojis are alright but where's the bleach."
Apple's new iOS 8.3 release consists of 300 new emojis, including kissing lips, googly eyes and a smiling poop (we wish we were making that up). But they also include racially diverse emojis, including cartoon faces with brown and black skin.
In its tweet, Clorox seemed to be commenting on why bleach wasn't included among the hundreds of other household items that Apple had added to its list of emojis. But on social media, offense was taken.
"You need to clean up your PR person. Put some bleach on your distasteful marketing ideas," tweeted @DriNicole. "Black emojis were added today. Saying this implies you'd rather the emojis be only white, by adding bleach."

Really? 
My black cat likes to roll around on my kitchen floor after I mop it with bleach, does that mean he's a traitor to his race?

People use to be embarrassed for looking that stupid to others. Now it's as if it's a goal to look as stupid as possible to as many people as possible.

This country is truly screwed if we don't right this ship (oh no someone will associate a ship with the slave trade!). These SJWs and race baiters are destroying this country with the pc bullshite.

The problem is that instead of stepping up and saying to grow up and get over it, there have been way to many times that folks have backed down and quickly apologized and tip toed around the PC stuff.
This is what happens when you become so terrified to offend someone.
You begin apologizing just in case an offense may have occurred

because sadly those who are addicted to being offended will spin anything, no matter how ridiculous, into an offensive personal attack. Posted on 4/12/15 at 5:37 pm to JumpingTheShark

Yeah I'll pass. The Robert E Lee threads are doing a good enough job.

I am glad the article explained why it was offensive. It was beyond me.
Those diggers had to dig deep to find something to be offended about there.
