Corporations Feed Political Correctness
Poletical.com ^ | February 1st, 2015 | S.P.

This invisible government which polices the very habits and thoughts that created the culture of consumption is now managing a sustained culture of political correctness. As many modern American capitalists will tell you, money does not discriminate. The almighty and powerful dollar does not care what colour our skin may be or what god we may kneel to. It is man that discriminates on such lines. It is man who utters words and ideas that may alienate or segregate potential consumers. If corporations were to sell their products selectively to Anglo-Saxon, white Americans, they would be consciously minimizing their own profits. As we are all aware, not a single corporation exists in America that would consciously bid to minimize its own profits.

We once thought of corporations as capitalist, Republican. Now, they're crony socialist.

This is the key, we must defeat PC, it is the nexus of the progressive movement. It is designed to shut down all conservative thought and speech.

If you offend a person or hurt their feeeeeeelings, you are now likely to lose your job if they can pin an anti PC label on you. Its not officially illegal to offend someone, yet. But that doesn’t matter when you can lose your livelihood as in the case of cake makers refusing gay weddings.

well, the errors that i see in the article are, for one, does inclusiveness for profits sake require that tv commercials show interracial couples? how much profit would you lose if interracial couples boycotted you? another is that inclusiveness for some reason doesnt include whites in things like judges. any tv commercial you see with a judge will never be a white male. black female is the preferred judge.
another, as much as all commercials are diverse, there are some, like burglars or drug dealers, that will always be a white male. it’s actually hilarious because never once, in the history of tv in the post civil rights era, has there ever been a crook that wasn’t a white male in a commercial.
mostly though, with the disproportionately small number of whites in commercials, companies must be saying, whites either don’t care about that, or,what choice do they have since all companies cater to minorities in this manner.

No, they just want to make money. Hence, business wants to avoid controversy and wars as the latter effect the bottom line.

the powers that be rely on corruption, ie PC in order to enforce a shariah like modesty on others while they stuff themselves with money.

in addition, responsible potential competitors must be squashed. This mean the drunk college student must be excused, we all look away. but the responsible adult must be scrutinized and chastised.

Last but not least, crony capitalism always seeks to expropriate easily. However this is a death spiral to less property rights and towards communism

PC can never be beaten with the political process. It will take something more substantial.

Yep. But progressives still like to employ the old, outdated stereotypes for political advantage.

Since 9/11, has any TV show or major movie focused on the subject of Islamic terrorism? Only ONE that I’m aware of - the movie about Todd Beamer and the 9/11 flight that crashed in Pennsylvania.

The race extortionists set up camp and keep a watchful eye on who they can target next

Tell that to Starbucks and McDonalds. They both screwed the pooch with P.C.

Whites, Christians and heterosexuals are still the majority and the majority with $$$, so harassing them with political correctness is not a good marketing strategy. Corps. should not be leftist busy bodies.

It was the masterful strategum of Edward Bernays that corporations adopted to convince Americans that they needed fancy cars and top-of-the-line appliances to live fulfilling lives.

Though I agree with the writer's premise -- corporations are politically correct in my experience. The above statement is just Marxist nonsense. Humans need to consume to survive and to survive comfortably. And if they have the means, they will consume even more.

No evil corporatist agenda necessary.

It is always not about sales. Boards of Directors have social agendas too and do not forget "activist" stockholder groups that can threaten the control of a company if they do not toe the PC narrative.

They were stupid corporate executives. Note how Starbuck’s backed off immediately. My general rule hold’s.
