The Politically Correct Thread

Agreed 100% and of course context is everything! I wouldn't say the same things that I say around black friends to black strangers... I'd get my head caved in! Or say it publicly... I'd certainly be fired!

I think the big thing with ultra PC is they disregard context. They'll take a private conversation between two people and act like it's a news presentation! They believe there's no room whatsoever for racy, inappropriate jokes... and that's simply not true!

They act as though if I make a sexist, racist, homophobic, etc joke with my friends in a private setting, my words enter the atmosphere, pollute the air and cause someone to rape a woman or commit a hate crime. It's so silly!

I absolutely LOVE stand-up comedy, and that art form would die if it were up to the PC police. Yeah, I agree with you whole-heartedly. Unfortunately, and like I've said before, it's people (usually with short supplies of common sense) that tend to flock to the extremes of any issue. It's pitch black, or lily white.... nothing in between.

Another theory I have which you can feel free to disagree with but I believe wholeheartedly. I think a lot of this ultra PC, SJW nonsense comes from a group where the majority of the people have had either no or very superficial relationships with minorities. Most seem to be middle-to-upper class white people who lived in very sheltered, white-washed areas all their lives.

If you grew up in a racially diverse area like I did in Grand Rapids/Detroit, and you grew up with other races your whole life, I don't think you have the same stick up your ass. Because real talk, especially among dudes, is NOT PC! Boys and men say a lot of repugnant shit when we're around each other. So many times I was the only (or one of the only) white people in a room at a given time and got comedy roasted with "small dick" white jokes I also remember responding with things that would make Donald Sterling blush. But it was all fun between guys and you bond by saying harsh jokes that you don't really mean.

So when I see these upper-class white college students talking about black people like they're poor delicate flowers that need to be protected with PC culture, I immediately know that they never had any true relationship with any black people. Black people don't need a bunch of corny white 20-somethings to protect them, they can handle themselves.

That's a tremendously good point, Vidgil... thanks for the post. Unfortunately, you went past four words and thus our colleague Batman will begin reading and lose interest.

Oh no you are wrong there, I read his post in its entirety and a very good post it was too.

Unfortunately I didn't make it past the first paragraph of your reply so I have no idea what your post was saying.

A lot of words for you, Batman... try not to get winded.

Still, I'm anxiously awaiting your response to the OP. You know how much I value your views.

I may have a look tomorrow, I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I get around to it

He's too busy with Stella, Tito.

The suspense is killing me. I'm sure it'll be momentous.

I think you have over egged this to the point that you have made it impossible for me to exceed any expectations that may have been had for any reply.

Therefore I am officially making it known that I shall from this point on refuse to read the opening post on this thread purely because I am unable to live up to the unrealistic expectations that have been placed upon me.

I apologise profusely to anyone I may have let down, I would like to make it clear that was never my intention.

I would finally like to request that people respect mine and my families privacy at this time.

Thank you and good night.

I think a lawyer may have written your post Batman.

I want to know what Paul Kevin thinks.

Damn my lack of sensitivity!

I pushed you over the edge, and now I await the official Saddo letter of rebuke for having deprived the Saddo community from your long-awaited response to the thread's opening post. Hopefully in time you'll bless us with your memoirs, and my own indiscretions will be forgotten.

Ok, "transgressions". I knew it was something that ended in "ions".

No I didn't. I must admit this shit's catching.

I didn't read either of your posts
