Absolutely I agree, there was a misunderestanding. I just figured that people would see it as directed in a political/social sense, because in my experience here in the bay area gays are very much the progresssive, I simply assumed that peple would see it that way. I shoyld have been more clear and immediatly explain my reasoing.
Please dont call my hatred of PC politics a "prejudice", words like racism, prejudice are textboox PC scare hate blackmail scare tactic phrases. They are overused, meaningless and outdated. I would prefrer that you accept that as my decision and judgemnt on the PC issue and not as some uninformed knee-jerk reaction.
Why do I hate PC so much?
Well first of all I am only 21 and I DONT rememmber when the word NEGRO or cupcake was used in daily life, furthermore I never saw in my life COLORED waiting rooms or COLRED lunch counters, I never saw the bus driver order black people to the back, I never saw any of that. Can you guess why? Well its not diddlying 1965 any more, the civil rights movement worked, MLK did it he did it he changed the country just like Gandhi changed India. He got the vast majority of whites to change their attitudes and see the evils of racism. It worked. Thats why I as a 21 year old dont see that garbage in the USA today.
The civil rights era did great things and was a great and just cause.
PC roadkill is entirely seperate to me and has nothing at all to do with civil rights, It has all to do with liberal rich white peoples guilt. They came up with it. They are the ones who supported it intially, it was a very progressive thing back then. It may have been a nice idea but it has become a terrible pointless monster. My school put up these signs, "DEANZA IS A HATE FREE ZONE", a typicall PC roadkill meaingless slogan. Lets examine it: Will a KKK lunatic racist just read that one day and think, Oh lord Im mistaken iin my hatred and will now stop? Will it? Will it?, No it wont. All its there to do is to make guilt ridden rich all their lives liberal kids feel better anouth their insrecurites because they put up a sign. You know I made this comment to an Intercultral Sudies teacher of mine and she told me privatly that Im right about this but that this kind of idea would get me in trouble with many people. In fact most of my ideas on politics are very complex, its very easy to characterise me as a bad guy by any side as I pick and choose supposedly contradictory postions.
For example:
I fully support civil rights but I hate with all my heart and soul PC politics.
To me they are not related. The sooner peoplew accept this the dsonner this country and her people will get along better.
PC is roadkill garbage. It is not representative of the cvil rights movement.
TahGut are you begging to see my stance here, again if you have any specific quesions plese ask.
And thanks for taking that brave step trying to find common ground, I appriciate it. In fact I belive our postions are much closer than you think. <S>
