i find the whole thing both amusing and disturbing. my point is that what was once considered politically correct (and may have been at the time) is--in the minds of a good many people it would appear--frozen in time. those who seem to have the most difficulty with the concept are alligned with the prevailing political min
I hear the stupid claims that black people want to be called "African-American" all the time. Funny thing is, all of the black folks I know refer to themselves as "black" and rarely if ever use that stupid term. Callin' me an African-American Like everything is fair again. Shit...Devil, you
pcism almost sounds like the backhandedly correct way of describing pc don't it? It's a way of expressing that political correctness is an ideology/religion.
And ya cant go wrong with Don King in offensiveness diamondback! Well, it was a fake Don King, you know, with the lips on the picture on the tv monitor.
Not to worry, you Paddy, Mick, Potatoe-eating, Bog-Trotting, Papal Baby Factory, Gobshite! I prefer (from a "Don King" interview skit on Conan O'Brien) Freckle-sporting , Whiskey-Snorting , and Leprechaun-cavorting .
I posted an article along these lines (link here) when I first joined this site. Too bad it's not an original from me, but it makes the point nonetheless.
Oriental. The next time I hear someone say "Oriental" is for rugs and furniture , I'm going to beat the living shit out of them. Maybe they should learn what the hell an adjective is.
I wish this was the most disgusting act against a child I had ever heard. Unfortunately, it is not. In Chicago about 7 years ago there was a case that made me physically sick hearing about it. Anyone with the stomach for the details can look up "Joan Tribblet" and "Everett Johnson." Be advised, it is horrible, so horrible it may not even sound possible.
Honestly, this goes beyond sentiments of political correctness. From my experience, your average white liberal is the one who will fear saying certain things because of political correctness. When you start coming across non-white liberals and white left-wing radicals, then more of the dogmatic arguments begin to surface about white power structures . That's why there are often cries of racism even when a black cop shoots a black criminal. In
The Mexicans won the Battle of Puebla, which is what Cinco de Mayo is all about, but the French later sent in reinforcements. They then easily marched on to Mexico City and installed Maximillian. Mexico was under French occupation for a few years before America supplied the Mexicans with arms to overthrow Maximillian. We probably would have stepped in before the French conquered Mexico in 1864, but we had our own Civil War to worry about.
As a follow-up to my article I hate St. Patrick's Day , I thought I'd be an equal opportunity hater and express my disdain for Cinco de Mayo as well. This is a dumb celebration cooked up by Chicano nationalists in America. And the same idiotic "We're all Irish on St. Patrick's Day" crowd looks f
Before seeking to raise fees or taxes, I'd like to see where their revenue goes right now. After that BTW, I thought it was very amazing to see someone mention Western and California Avenues. I lived between them on the South Side of the city. By my time the streetcars were gone, though.
It was you who claimed that pan-nationalism is a form of imperialism. That was not an undisputed fact and not a part of my discussion at all. It was also you who found that nationalism is opposed to imperialism, yet you insist that pan-nationalism is imperialism. So you see a contradiction. But what does this have to do with my a
Good article I found referring to Professor Dunn's hate criem hoax last year: The American Thinker: Another Hate Crime Hoax Yet Another Hate Crime Hoax March 18th, 2004 I hope that someone is collecting a comprehensive list of all
I suppose if he had just said "bitch" or "motherfucker" it would have been a loving fight. Nonetheless, the revelation that a "hate crime" is a hoax rarely garner's the attention that the initial report does. This sort of thing happens all the time, yet the Mainstream Media has no interest in doing an exposé on the matter, and the legal system treats it like it wasn't serious.
You're right about that.

I use nationalism as it is typically understood: na·tion·al·ism (nãsh'ə-nə-lĭz'əm, nãsh'nə-) n. Devotion to the interests or culture of one's nation. The belief that nations will benefit from acting independently rather than collectively, emphasizing national rather than internationa
“go to Indonesia. You're not going to find any of your beloved diversity” Exactly my point. That is why I love Australia so much. Because you can’t get that barely anywhere else on the planet. If you're going to quote me, quote the whole passge CS. It's very dishonest of you to not do so. M
Of course it was based on racism. The evidence points to it. Try find an image of a five year old white girl being placed in handcuffs by black police officers. After you realize you simply can't find any real pictures like that it should be a bit more clear for you. Another thing. If you asked the common American off the street
Yeah, I went to the imdb website for the show to see how long it was actually on the air, and there were people who apparently really liked it. It must be mushrooms!
Bahu, thank you for the compliment. I disagree with your opinions, but A.) I can understand where you're coming from and B.) I can respect your opinions. Man, I can't believe I said that
David Gildhagen has written two outstanding books and the American Historical Association rated these to be path breaking works I believe you mean Daniel Goldhagen. Goldhagen's book Hitler's Willing Executioners is a book with numerous flaws, exaggerations, and erroneous assertions. His thesis is that
Why was this pathetic, boring, unfunny show ever put on the air? How could TV Execs have sat around listening to someone pitch this idea and come to the conclusion that a pilot and a series was a good idea? Even worse, why is this show in syndication now? Did it not do enough damage the first time around? <!-- Ju-Anchor-
Wow! That's messed up.
