Politically correct=projection by passive-aggressive racists. Just look at CNN.com comments!
Edited on Fri Oct-28-11 08:52 PM by alp227
So CNN.com just published another article about the Ohio University students doing that "We're a culture not a costume" campaign; the top-rated comments were very hostile, usually on the lines of "lighten up" or "what's so offensive" or "wimps" or "stop being politically correct". So I've been putting up with all this BS complaining on comments section, and guess what? People who defend such stereotypes but are uncomfortable with saying "I support this bigotry" instead project their discomfort with the "politically correct" term. And even more hypocritical? If those same people say that America is a post-racial society! Those who post those comments have a sick attitude but KNOW that nothing beyond bitter rhetoric can back their position AT ALL. Compared with those Ohio students who have actual logical, historically-based evidence.

1. not wanting to appear "PC" has become the excuse to act like a
total f*cking a**hole, and have your buddies cheer you on ...

quote from the early 1860s in the South ... "Ya know, with all this fighting going on, it's gonna get to the point where you actually have to have a reason to string up a n*gger ..."

(oh, and for the "sensitive", yes ... I made that one up ... much like a lot of RW nonsense ...0
