This is a pretty interesting story of how political correctness is now so all-pervasive, that it has even penetrated the world of crime. Once, one could be robbed, raped, and/or murdered, but today, one could be forced at gunpoint to watch hours of politically correct television, and confess one’s white guilt, or else have one’s body parts scattered all over the place:

“An African American man kidnapped a white woman he'd been in an on-off relationship with for years and forced her to watch nine-hour slavery miniseries Roots so she could 'understand her racism'. Cedar Rapids police seized 52-year-old Robert Noyes on Monday on charges of first-degree harassment and false imprisonment. The woman, who was not clearly described in previous reports as being white, was allegedly forced to sit with Noye and threatened when she tried to move from watching the 1977 TV miniseries. He forced her to watch the nine-hour show, which details the ancestral line of the author Alex Haley, 'so she could better understand her racism', a police complaint said. Noye threatened to 'kill her and spread her body parts across Interstate 380 on the way to Chicago', when she tried to move away, according to the Gazette. Roots, which was penned in 1976 by US author Alex Haley and was first aired on TV in 1977, follows the struggles of one African American family told over several generations, starting with Kunte Kinte, an African warrior sold into slavery, through to his great-grandchildren fighting for their freedom during the Civil War. Kinte is a 15-year-old warrior in Gambia in the late 1700s. The series begins as he sets off to undertake a semi-secretive rite of passage, which includes circumcision, war games and hunting. After he's tasked with catching a bird without hurting it, he crosses paths with a group of slavers and their captives. He returns to the village at the end of the ceremony but is then captured by the slave hunters and a group of four black collaborators, made up of his family's arch-enemies, the Koros tribe.The youngster is then sold and placed on a ship bound for America. The series follows his perilous journey on a stinking, overcrowded slaveship to Annapolis, Maryland, where he was sold to a Virginia plantation owner for the price of ten mules. Kinte's name is stricken in favour of a new Christian identity, Toby. Kinte seeks to retain his African and Islamic heritage during his time in the new world, refusing to eat pork.”
Isn’t it amazing the lengths that have to be gone to to show the racism of whites?
