     @gdinwiddie -- Both are "tone policing". Humans are allowed to have an emotional response to being diminished and harmed by people who would oppress them.

     @gdinwiddie -- You obviously misunderstand the original meme.
     If you look at my other memes posted around this one (they tend to be grouped by theme), they are all about the 1960's, George Floyd, and other riots/social rebellion. The meme is about how oppressed people are not allowed to be emotional or angry when fighting back against oppression. It is seen as "rude" and "manners" get brought up as if being rude trumps the actual injustice they are perpetrating.

     What's called "political correctness" is mostly being polite to people who are already being oppressed.

     If you stand with the oppressors, so be it.

     @gdinwiddie -- Ok. so explain the meme to me and everyone else that all seemed to get the gist of the meme all the same without collaboration.

     That's not what "political correctness" refers to.
