I'm old enough to remember Howard Cosell's "Little Monkey" incident (http://howardcosell-littlemonkeycomment.blogspot.com/2011/03/look-at-that-little-monkey-run.html). That controversy was quelled by Mohammed Ali, who defended Cosell. More blacks need to speak out about this sort of PC BS.

Cotton picker
The mechanical cotton picker is a machine that automates cotton harvesting in a way that reduces harvest time and maximizes efficiency. Mechanical cotton picking began to be practical in 1944, when International Harvester produced the first dozen of their successful commercial cotton pickers.

Political correctness is mass self delusion, limits the individual’s ability to think and analyze and above all makes people who subject themselves to such limitations very easy to control and manipulate. It is a prerequisite for socialism.

Of course. But the Libs shame them into staying on the plantation.

Are you kidding? They use this kind of crap to further advance their agenda.

What bothered me was the Journalist apologizing for saying it. I think it was John Wayne who said, apologizing is a sign of weakness, and he’s right.

...slaves once upon a time picked cotton in the South.


So did white people.

The first one to mention race is the racist.

“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” ~ Theodore Dalrymple
