It isn't about what made racism acceptable again- It is the fact that WE NEVER handle racism
correctly!
We placed several band-aides on the issue. The worse being Political Correctness. Now this issue is basically killing our country much like a gangrene finger has caused the patient his/her life. Even now IF I don't put His/Her I am considered sexist! This country needs to have a an adult conversation and face the facts BUT that is NEVER going to happen given the fact that some of our political leaders can't grow up enough to actual say. YES this is a racial terroristic attack. You had politicians yapping that it was an attack on Christianity because it happen in a church THIS being said despite the Attacker TOLD his victims it was because of race.
Political correctness rules will never allow us to have the true talk we need to have because this country is so afraid of words. Case in point: we still can't say Fuck on TV. LOOK at England. Heck watch BBC. Look how often words are bleeped out yet in England it is not bleeped out at all.
Just last month my post about the figure skaters with the title some of the girls on DU might like this got alerted. Even when I referred to the two major pains in my neck who is making my wife's life hell because they won't allow the rules to be change to let pets in the condo we own. I referred to them by a name George Carlin used often in his stand-up comedy and people where up in arms.
IF we can't use words because it hurts people feelings YOU are NEVER really going to see us defeat racism in this country. The true conversation is going to get ugly and no one wants to be ugly they want happiness and rainbow and sunshine. We just put those bad feelings words and whatnot in a box. WAKE UP THE BOX IS BREAKING!!!!
Our racism problem shows how far from great America is. You want America to be Great you defeat racism and screw political correctness.
Now I expect this post to be locked because peoples feelings are hurt.
