I notice when something racist is said on social media or it general by whites and it gets a lot of backlash, whites then talk about political correctness and not having freedom of speech.

Whites do make it seem like they're the only group "effected" by this so-called political correctness? Aren't non-whites affected by it as well?

I am not White and I talk about the PC culture too. It's not something that Whites talk about, rather Republicans.

You have to be politically correct to keep peace in life. People could care less about what you think of such and such.

Some want a free pass to say what they want with out consequences and cry fowl when they get called out on their inappropriate conduct.

Respect to get respect.

I think some folks take freedom of speech way beyond its reach. If Trump becomes president you will see a lot of people just saying off the wall stuff to people.

Freedom of speech simply means the government cannot punish you for opening your mouth. It does not mean you might not reveal you are an idiot.

It also means that others have the freedom of speech to comment on your words.

I'm quite serious. A lot of these people will complain about society being too political correct in order to justify their hatred.

I think some people confuse PC with the black American obsession over being shown respect and not being dissed. Political correctness a very white thing. It's a way of promoting and defending the white progressive view of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, etc. through shame and intimidation. Basically, it's the white left's attempt to shut down the arguments of other whites without having to rely on logic or facts.
