Point well taken, especially when you take into account such uses of the word as in the United Negro College Fund. But it is old- fashioned and it is one step removed from that other word, and that’s what his detractors heard and latched onto, whether that was what he meant or not. It doesn’t bother me — I was done with PC a ling time ago — but it was an easy pitch for his enemies to hit.
We make it an easy pitch to hit because we flinch whenever they swing.
If we only could learn to go nose to nose with them and not blink when they pull this sh*t then their game would suddenly become a lot harder for them to win and a lot less fun.
Judging by the amount of wincing and blinking I saw today we're a long way off from that place.
The worst that you can say about him then is that he is Old Fashioned. He isn’t “wired in” to the mainstream. IOWs he’s not some PC north eastern metrosexual and doesn’t even know what that is. lol
