The golden mean is somewhere between the pc idiots and the anti-pc idiots.

Using racial slurs is not pc. It is also ignorant.

Likely it's because white Anglo-Saxon heterosexual Christians are often the victims of political correctness. According to political correctness, being white means you're obligated to a lot of white guilt. Guilt for the Native Americans. Guilt for slavery. Guilt for colonialism's exploitation of the rest of the world. Guilt for believing in a religion that denounces homosexuality and any number of other alternate sexual lifestyles and behaviors. Guilt for having a decent income. Even guilt just for being a man.

How you respond to all of the white guilt being foisted onto you kinda determines your political views. Those that wear their white guilt like a badge of honor are called Democrats. Those that don't are generally Republicans.

Truth be told, if pornography is protected by freedom of speech then anything is protected. If the KKK and Stormfront idiots want to rant about white power, then that's protected. Political correctness is the mechanism whereby society shames and bullies all outliers into submission, and some people don't like being told that their freedom of speech has any limits of any kind.

What makes you assume I'm a Democrat or a liberal?

It's funny how a lot of them think those who don't share their views are liberals.

Federally regulated industries are under pressure to meet social justice guidelines and thus are the centers of excellence along with portals of social justice formerly called schools.


threshold for racist, racism is set so low in the media even a recollection of a trangression from years past results in banishment and labeling where a mispoken word equates to a cross burning hate filled lynch mob.


People need to be trained and taught to be offended by words. The dems have weapoized charges of racism and so have kept it alive in the media and everyday life. Racism has now replaced the wolf in the parable about the boy who cried 'wolf'.


Federally declared endangered species are all threatened by zero threshold criteria for racism...except for bald eagles which are threatened by green energy windmills.


Racism is an indispensible weapon for political bludgeonings by democrats who run out of argument.

That's what I meant, hanging out with them online. My point was, libs are obsessed with being PC, whether they are black, white, green or purple, a lib is a lib, is a lib.
