dynamite,
what I'm saying is that you cannot force people to behave in any way against their will or their prejudices. some folks are just ignorant but that is their right to be that way. attempting to force a bigot to treat someone in what you consider to be a socially acceptable manner will create backlash. that is what I believe is occurring. forced PC thinking attempts to do just that, to make a person behave and speak in a way they don't agree with and are uncomfortable with. you cannot do that it will not work, clearly it has not worked. couple that fact with the fact that black people (as an example) can behave disrespectfully towards anyone who is non black and get away with it and one can immediately empathize with white folks. the guy who might have been sitting on the fence of the racial issue/illegal immigration issue may choose to come down on the side of his group because he feels threatened.
I think that blacks are about the most overtly racist group in the nation and they are not called on it. blacks get a free pass from most folks. it seems to me that this negative behavior is applauded and reinforced especially by the extreme left which also controls the mainstream media.
I personally resent black people as a group because of what I perceive to be preferential treatment blacks as a group receive at the official level at the expense of all others. I resent the entitlement attitude many blacks exhibit. I resent so called black leaders for creating an us vs them mentality on the national level. I resent the exploitation of any racially sensitive issue being used as an excuse to further drive wedges between Americans by these same black leaders. I resent the democratic party for their support of these policies.
therefore it is no wonder to me that white people will band together in much same way the black people did to create (as an example) the national association for the advancement of colored people, a clearly racist organization. what would occur if I started an organization that excluded all other races? how far would I get? would I receive national prestige and recognition for starting a group called the national coalition for the advancement of white people? as long as special interest groups garner political clout and funding for perpetuating this behavior we will never rise above the differences. simply stated it's wrong. affirmative action is wrong and needs to be abolished. labling a crime as a hate crime is wrong and needs to be abolished. if a crime is commited a person's color, sexual preferrence, gender, nationality or religion should not be considered.
I hope that this rant clears it up for you a little bit.
