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:
White privilege – get an education then pay for it, Get a job even if you have to start at the bottom, work hard and smart, advance and if you stumble pick yourself up and start moving forward, be responsible for your actions, strive to have a good life and understand ‘there’s no such thing as a free lunch’. Now everyone knows the secret.
More foolishness.
Our government is increasingly imposing the practice of social engineering upon the Ameican people by telling us how to think or act. This is akin to Nazism.
Ridiculous
Cary Neal This is how the democrats get good statistics. The make them up.
South Carolina o sorry, I understand my bad, lol you are what you are lol
I was in the army from 1965 to 1968. I can tell you that if any of the units I was in were forced to listen to this stupid seminar, there would have been nonstop joking and kidding throughout, with no one paying any attention. This is simply more taxpayer money wasted because Obama hates white people, and all he’s accomplishing is making white people hate him.
What a racist!
White privilege my$#%&!@* Our only privilege is paying taxes for lazy$#%&!@*scumbags and welfare cheats etc!
This is just plain disgusting. Maybe all the white soldiers should just lay down their weapons and walk!
