The problem is that everyone is as racist/sexist, etc. as they have always been, but now with a 24 hour media cycle, sites like youtube and special interest groups galore, you have to pretend that you didn’t mean it and you aren’t really racist/sexist.
I prefer an honest racist to a dishonest apologist anyday.
We live in a pretty silly age when we get upset about a comedian saying the N-word, and a world leader talks about wiping Israel off the map and people make excuses for him. Oh, he doesn’t really mean it, they just talk like that down there, ho-ho.
Does anyone believe that Michael Richards is going to drag anybody behind his pickup truck? Or go to a Klan rally? If not, what the hell is all this about?
It’s about the overly political correct society we live in, and the sensing of an opportunity by some very opportunist, agenda-driven people (like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, etc.).
They are so offended by the N word, but freely bash other minorities. Do as they say, not as they do.
Having a Lenny Bruce moment Loren?
ReplyYeah, it’s so stupid to try and regulate language.

ReplyWell Sharpton and Jackson make a living off convincing black people that they are victims. They’re part of the problem for sure.
