My views on Political Correctness

The point of being PC is not to offend anyone. People made Obama be PC about his race (people having a cow that he calls himself black instead of biracial when society has always called biracial people black to begin with), they made him be PC about the truth about race relations (the truth that cops are in fact racist). PC affects everyone and anyone, regardless of party affiliation, race, gender, rich or poor. Republicans claim to hate PC yet have used it countless times themselves on the President (Obama and for that matter any Democrat). So PC is not just a liberal thing. Republicans embrace it. The only difference is that Republicans claim to be against PC, so they can say racist things.

I am against PC, but I do think its wrong to use being anti-PC as an excuse to say racist things. If you are going to say racist things, then you need to own up as a racist with racist views, rather than hide behind the poster "I hate political correctness".

I am not a conservative, and will never be. I am not a liberal either. I am a moderate to liberal. Meaning I share views that range from moderate to liberal. It depends on my mood at the moment.

The problem with PC is that it weakens people. It makes everyone overly sensitive. The reality is, its impossible to be PC about everything. In this day and age, everyone gets offended by the smallest of things and make the biggest issues out of it. People demand apologies even if the person isn't sorry.

The problem with PC is you have to go out of you way to not offend people, yet someone gets offended anyways. Whats worse is when you have different people who get offended by different variations of a word, example: one gets offended by "fat", another hates "overweight", yet another person hates "obese". How is one supposed to remember this? I think the individual show know themselves what someone means, if they are friends or family, then you should know if they meant to offend or not. If they are not important people in your life, then move along.

Being overly sensitive makes it hard to function in society because people get upset too easily. It encourages hateful people to keep using hateful words, because we react to it rather than let it go and let them eat their hate alone.

PC means people lack common sense to know when someone is insulting them and when someone is just being unreasonable.

PC went from starting out as something good, to be stupid. I hate censors on tv. They are curse words, either show them all or don't have any. Why should I or a million others suffer because some parents are too irresponsible to monitor whats being shown in their own home?

There is no one championing Anti-PC...Republicans are so PC when someone says something that Republicans don't like, they are the ones who are against freedom of speech. Racists are not being Anti-PC, they are just being racist (there is no way to justify racism, you stupid racists!!)
