Todays subject is Political Correctness (from this point on called PC).
PC is simply another way of saying "I have no balls." It destroys debate or discussion of almost any subject because of the fear of offending. Newscasters constantly refer to the "N" word rather than giving a precise quote, but if I watch BET or Comedy Central "Nigger" comes out constantly.
My wife and I have a lot in common. I was born a white baby, to Catholic parents, in a small town in Minnesota. She was born a black baby, to Catholic parents, in a small town in Africa. Did you notice that only 2 (white/black and Minnesota/Africa, pronouns don't count) words were different in the sentences? The other 12 were the same. She is truly African-American. She hates the label, she is American, ask her. PC depends on labels. Labels divide us. We are Americans.
One last thought: Jingoist politicians (those that constantly repeat short easy to remember sayings) are using a technique akin to brainwashing.
Remember, the words "Liberte Egalite Fraternite" were pinned to every guillotine during the French Reign of Terror.
