Political correctness is a disease that strikes most of us as simply silly and boorish. Various groups and classes of people are encouraged by academics and government fools to conjure up slights, imagined and real, that wound them sufficiently to demand change. It is irritating and bizarre since it often requires creating and inventing new ways to say and do things that make no sense whatever.
One example is the demand that we do not address someone as he or she, but zhe or ze because gender is now somehow politically incorrect. That is just weird. First because zhe is a made up word, and the politically correct mavens can’t even decide what the new non-gender word is or should be, so there are half a dozen variants. And second because the idea that gender is somehow “fluid” which is incredibly preposterous, with the politically correct saying that gender is really only determined after we “decide” which gender we are.
Now the politically correct folks have now gone well beyond weird and have decided that the best way to foment the grievance and victim business is to humble and diminish a majority of the citizens of the United States by claiming vast and endemic discrimination because of “white privilege.” This suggests that whatever achievement or position caucasian Americans have obtained is purely through discriminatory practices and benefits unfairly bestowed by society which rewards people simply because of their skin color. It is the height of discrimination and racism, and it is being proposed and taught even in some venues where it should be absolutely prohibited.
See page 2 to learn who is claiming white privilege is a problem:
Can’t express how glad I am that I told the Military to eat$#%&!@*and bark at the Moon, 10 years and let it go!
OMG this c**p has to stop!
these men could put an end to racism.
It’s always been dangerous to be white. That’s why we’ve adapted and overcome.
He is half white half black. No buts about it.
Nah not the 87 percent of the population. Maybe the 13th percent.
Obama the divider!
Stupidest comment I have read today. It’s a made up phrase to degrade a race. We all bleed the same, we all are poor at one or more times in our lives. I don’t buy into this fantasy at all. I am glad to say I am not a sheep.
Morons.
Get real, what a bunch of BS.
