When did being a decent human being become synonymous with "political correctness"?

[Maschine_Man]

Generally speaking the right is more prone to misguided calls to violence that you were speaking about, regardless of ideology there are nutjobs who take things too far. That's not going to change if pc culture disappears.

these nut jobs that kidnapped that retarded kid are the same retards that ran in to that pizza shop and shot it up.

this isn't a left vs right issue, why do ppl keep making it that way??



even a lot of psychologists and university professors are starting to see how this PC Culture is having a negative effect on ppl.

 

[Maschine_Man]

I thought the racists were the ones who were hiding because of the pc crowd?
Isn't the pc crowd being "upfront" by voicing their disgust with offensive speech?


You're watching too much Fox news bro, there's no war on Christmas.
In fact the anti-pc crowd are the ones claiming "Happy Holidays" is offensive.

Bruh...be obtuse I don't care..

One of the main reasons I went into business for myself is so I wouldn't have to deal with people that I didn't want to deal with. I concur that freeing yourself economically to not have to deal with racists is the more adult thing to do but we're all wired differently

And I'm in the same boat here, I feel you. I run a company but even I have to deal with clients and customers that may align among people I detest, but that is the free market. Also keep in mind, having the resources, ability and economic conditions to start your own business is a rarity. Even white people lack all the tangibles to do this, much less most people of color. The path we chose, is the not a large one, not everyone can do it, hence the reason its not explored often...

Wait what...You actually think those awful things were happening because people could openly express their bigotry

WRONG ...It was the state.

All those things happened because the people actually doing them faced no consequences ...why? because the government itself was complicit ....remember ALL those things were still ILLEGAL at the time..the lynchings ,the murders the terrorism..imprisoning people due obviously false testimony and kangaroo trials.....ALL OF IT

The same government that protected and refused to prosecute the Klan also refused to defend Black people in fact they went to great lengths to disarm Black people and make sure they couldn't defend themselves and prosecuted the ones who did defend themselves successfully.

The era of the KKK finally ended when the FBI finally began enforcing the law...notice they didnt create new laws...they just enforced the existing ones....doesnt that tell you they had been looking the other way all along??

And not holding people responsible for irresponsible rhetoric is in effect enabling the state at large, especially in a pseudo democratic political system

Jim Crow happened because the populace was complicit

OH MY fukkING GOD, SHUT THE fukk UP.

Private citizens can bytch about whatever they want to bytch at

You anti-pc nuts are a bunch of authoritarians who want to repress private outrage

Anti-pc = closet authoritarianism

Right, exactly. It seems like 9 pages later, we're finally getting to the real crux of the issue.

Black people are in a losing position when it comes to PC or anti-PC. We can't win. They call us ******s, lazy, violent, non-human and if we get offended we are told to take it on the chin. No man can take a majority society doing that to them without creating within that man massive issues (either lashing out or internalizing the abuse). On the other hand, if you attempt to throw your power around and tell people "Nah, that ain't cool." you risk the consequences of having to forever police them appropriately. Problem is, these (white) people can't be language policed (or forced) forever.

Lastly, what people have to understand is that every culture has norms and mores. PC culture was an attempt at setting boundaries. Problem is, as in all cultures, boundaries change and morph constantly. We especially shouldn't be surprised if for us it has changed pretty fast considering America doesn't want to admit past wrongs done to blacks. Heck, one especially crappy thing (though, more of a strange case than anything) that is about to happen is we are going to see more white kids and 20-somethings saying nikka, no "er" variant. I see more white entertainers using the n word because they don't understand what the problem is. Pewdiepie just used it himself recently (dude has 52 million subs and tons of young kids for fans). In about 10-15 years I'll bet you'll hear every white kid on the street using it as if they invented it. It'll be tough for us.

I agree with you that its an insanely tough spot, but I think at a certain level, we can take pride in the small victories, because honestly, that's about as good as its gonna get for us... unfortunately.


The harsh reality is that we as black people are only 11% of the population and minorities as a whole are only 35% of the country. Every single minority group could team up on a unified front and we'd STILL lose to "the majority" 2 to 1. Literally the only way we can make progress in this country is by swaying white people, the majority, to our side. Its the ONLY way we can win... either that or move.


Part of our saving grace is that cultural norm aspect tho. If we as minority groups are unified on things, we can make things unacceptable to the masses. I think the PC culture thing was good in nature but its too much change pushed too fast. Black people had to suffer for 400 years to get their rights in this country, these other groups are trying to seek the same change in 40 years, just too much too soon. Change has to come in baby steps for it to last, unfortunately, that means we gotta instill in future generations the mentality to push this fight in the same way our parents did for us because we aren't going to see the change we want in our life time. We need to accept that and still work at it anyway.

Come on bruh I'm sure if black people had just kept their discomfort to themselves and stayed quiet white people would have eventually came around to see the error in their ways. That or the free market.

Who knew advocating for a a free open society where people can speak their mind and outrage freely was "authoritarian"?

honestly, I don't even care so much that she wrote that. It's more so that kids and younger ppl are being taught that they need to be protected from being offended.

and the example you gave is just another example of PC going full retard.



Again, this isn't about allowing or making hate speech acceptable. it's about not being offended by everything and crying about it rather than actually doing something about it(like adults SHOULD do)
