Thread: DeSantis Can't Let Left's Race Card Define Issues

And we have seen that they keep adding words and phrases to their dictionary of politically incorrect words and phrases. They now go back in history and ban books that use words and phrases that were common when the book was written, but now they declare to be racist. "Murder On The Orient Express" should be banned. The entire movie, book and title would have to be reedited to replace the word "orient" in order to please the PC Police! They would require us to destroy any videotape, DVDs, and book and replace them with the reedited, acceptable, PC corrected versions, or be jailed for not destroying offensive versions.

Some, including the Attorney General of the United States, have taken some steps backward with the mandate that "illegal alien" be used in official documents. We need to take this country back.

There is a difference between saying someone is a "monkey" because of their race and saying "monkey around". If his opponent wasn't "Black" (another misnomer), that statement would have had no offensive ramifications. Yes, very few "Blacks" are black just like very few "Whites" are white. And "African-American" is equally inaccurate as many are not descendants of Africans. So what term is acceptable to one person may be offensive to another person. That way, they can keep everybody on edge.

So true, and is so bad that I remember some hoopla over the color of dress someone was wearing, saying that was racist.

Then, also one week it is sexist if a man walks by and smiles at a woman, and the next week it is sexist if he walks by and does not smile at a woman.

We need to take this country back.
