Lets go overboard. Come up with something that needs to be banished cause SOMEONE might take offense. No more Yankee Pot roast. Cant call it that anymore. Yankee is first off, an insult to northerners. Secondly, it is a term used during the Civil War. Pot has to go..insulting anyone over weight with a belly. Also refers to a drug that might be illegal. And a Roast is a gathering to make nasty jokes about someone, pick on them and be a bully. Your turn.....
Naturally, I find the term "white wine" offensive. I'm sure black wine is just as good. "Red wine" is not much better, communists have to drink something.
Like, do you ever hear, “White male with genealogy papers and sterling, pedigree family tree dating back to Hadrian graduates from Norte Dame”. ? We are in such overkill about terminology...in the movie “Ghost”, Whoopi Goldberg’s character, and her sisters, refer to “A WHITE guy...”. So, it’s not just one side that “clarifies” a person’s race. “ Law &Order programs frequently refer to suspects, et al, as black, or Japanese, and so on. May I ask just one question, of anyone out there...what’s the beef? I mean, the REAL beef? If nothing negative is meant by a description, and so many cultures engage, why the constant kerfuffles over it? Why make a problem where there isn’t one?
Politically correct stuff has taken certain issues like stealing our countries from the people that are still here to a full blown lets make everything not PC. In doing so it makes thing so much tougher to politically correct Politically. Sorta like a conspiracy even though we all know there is no such thing as a conspiracy. Unless you are a conspiracy Theorist in which As Freddy Mercury sang: We will we will Mock You"
ChesneyChrist: It detracts from the achievement itself. First black X is another way of saying king of the barnyard as though an entire race was made for a lower stream of remedials. Is there nothing good they can honestly say about the speech itself? Its making an entire race look like women's football.
No, it doesn't detract from the achievement.
It highlights the greater achievement against the odds and it highlights the shame that it's taken this long.

Scooby Doo will get violent if there's no more, Yankee pot roast.. Js..
It is sad that some walk around with a chip on their shoulder. And they feel vindicated if someone makes a comment. I have no interest in how anyone is..just don't shove it in my face. I dont, so neither should you. Just be and live and let live. Carry on with a normal life and dont annoy people trying to justify yourself. I like that description he posted above. What is screwy now is how in the interest of equality, more and more labels are being made up.
