Political Correctness

The following is the 2007 winning entry from an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.  The term was Political Correctness.

The winner wrote:

"Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end."

"Eater", couldn't you just tell him what your really believe, that the key to picking up the turd is not to touch either end but to firmly grasp it in the middle, or was that supposed to remain a libbie-pink secret?

''Don Imus is again drawing fire for injecting race into his radio show.

During an on-air conversation Monday about the arrests of suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, Imus asked, "What color is he?"

Told by sports announcer Warner Wolf that Jones is "African-American," Imus responded: "There you go. Now we know." :)

Civil rights leader Al Sharpton has issued a statement calling the exchange "disturbing because it plays into stereotypes." He said his National Action Network will decide in the next day or so whether to take any action.

Al Sharrpton needs publicity Imus did nothing wrong !

Imus later said that he meant Jones was being picked on and singled out because he was black. Sharpton needs to take a step back and find real issues to tackle.

Of course I also don't give a shit about what either Imus or Sharpton thinks. I think Sharpton is a much bigger racist than Imus, but nobody in their right mind could possibly believe that  Imus was thinking that Jones was being picked on. No one could possibly be that stupid, Could they? lol

I really don't care either, I was passing along what was quoted on Sportscenter this morning. But the media seems  so quick to jump on people like Imus for not using just the right articulation, while at the same time, giving Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson a free pass to say whatever they want to, with no comebacks.

but he "pales" lol in comparison to either Jackson or Sharpton. I guess it's perfectly acceptable to be a racist if you're black.

we can deal with IRS, yellow ribbons, Imus, walk and chew gum all at the same time.  We sincerely regret your panic at coping with any one of the aforementioned tasks.   Only a whiny ass Republican needs the rules changed after the game starts.  So you can take Dickhead Cheney's advice!
