Now this is trully funny, it seems like a joke but it is not.
Actually, this is the only possible outcome when a society tries so much to instigate "political correct thinking" among its inhabitans.
They obviously end up forbidded to do just about everything, since everything can "hurt" everyone.
Just like that movie called "The Island" showed, behind the beautiful and "humane" façade political correct groups are trully authoritarian.
The singer appeared on TV today saying: "I can't believe this! I'm shocked! I'm black myself! How can I be racist against my own kind?"

Singer is asked to provide an explanation for his “Kong” video that was condemned as racist and sexist
In a development that members of the Black Movement are calling a "victory", a decision of the Federal Public Minister answered the request of the Ombudsman of the group SEPPIR, which upheld complaints from various entities about a music video that compares black people to monkeys.
The Federal Public Ministry (MPF) instituted administrative proceedings in Attorney General's Office in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, so that the singer Alexandre Pires provide clarifications about the video “Kong” which was denounced for its racist and sexist content. The summons of the artist was prompted by a request for action sent by the Ombudsman's Secretariat for Policies to Promote Racial Equality (SEPPIR) to the Federal Public Ministery.
In addition to the prosecutor, the court reported the Sony Music label, the Police Department and the Federal Ombudsman's Secretariat of Policies for Women (SPM). The latter, because of the exposure of women in the ad, reinforcing the stereotype of a sex symbol. In December, Sony Music was also named in a similar suit for the release of a song deemed to be derogatory against black women.
Scene from "Kong" video
According to the Ombudsman of Seppir, Carlos Alberto Jr., the MP was requested because of complaints from several entities including the Virtual Observatory on Racism, which accuses the posting of the video on YouTube of having “racist and sexist content, compromising the struggles of the black movement in overcoming racism, and women in overcoming sexism. Combining artists and athletes, the video uses clichés and stereotypes against black people.”
In their case, the ombudsman of Seppir notes: “to show black people dressed as monkeys” the singer in question contributes to the historical permanence of racism and eugenics practices of the inferiority of the black population, given that the majority of complaints made the National Ombudsman of Racial Equality are offensescomparing black people to “monkeys”. In it interesting to note that Pires is the third Brazilian singer of African descent (along with Tiririca and Luis Caldas) to be named in actions brought forward by activists of the Brazilian Black Movement in the past five months for promoting derogatory images or content about black people. The message here seems clear: Racist messages and images won't be tolerated by non-blacks or black artists themselves.
