The Origins Of Political Correctness

The diversity makes it more PC.

I got my representation. I truly feel empowered and liberated.

If that culture in that area saw that part of it's culture as something strong, powerful and to be proud of, and would put the fear of God into the competition, why the Hell not?

The Jew should be meaner looking and counting money.

The Chinaman should have a Communist symbol on his hat.

WASHINGTON—Following an outpouring of criticism from across the country, the Washington Redskins announced Wednesday that they are officially changing the team’s name to the D.C. Redskins. “We’ve heard the concerns of many people who have been hurt or offended by the team’s previous name, and I’m happy to say we’ve now rectified the situation once and for all,” said franchise owner Dan Snyder, adding that “Washington Redskins” will be replaced with “D.C. Redskins” on all team logos, uniforms, and apparel. “It was a difficult decision—and one that, frankly, I’m a little embarrassed took me so long to make. So hopefully we can now put this issue to bed and start cheering on our D.C. Redskins.” In light of Snyder’s decision, Cleveland Indians owner Larry Dolan told reporters he will change the feather in Chief Wahoo’s headdress from red to a “more appropriate” shade of red.

"Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to."

Being "Political Correct" is NOT about not being honest or submitting to some imaginary or actual reign over your opinion.

It is about saying what you want to say, just in a way that is not trying to mainly offend or humiliate others.

It is understandable, going through the post history of the members who scream murder the most, that and why they either do not understand or find that concept frustrating. If your way of discussing issues or adressing something is to try to rather belittle, steamroll, intimidate or insult, well, you have to find a way to back this up with some sort of defense.

But seriously, if you put the equivalent of a drunk varroom brawler on a level with freedom fighters, it goes from funny to ridiculous

Like liberals do to Christians?

:tongue:

You're aware that a huge percentage of liberals ARE Christians, no?

The Jew should be meaner looking and counting money.

Why?
