Political correctness

Political correctness is more a comical myth among liberals than truth and where it does exists its about showing respect to those different than us.

.

But, it’s become a frightening reality among the growingly fascist right. It began as a reaction to the growing political strength of the civil rights movement in America. There was resistance in tolerance challenged - America when words such as ‘the N word’, colored and others of a demeaning nature became unacceptable. The term political correctness is an extreme reaction to the polite term of African American. This rising up of a great people exclaiming that they were in fact African and proud and that they were American and proud caught the ire of the conservatives and their ever growing population of ‘ditto heads’ leading them to belittle these people and others who also sought to show pride in their heritage. This was the root of the comical extrapolations of what was referred to as political correctness. Multiculturalism, our diversity, became a threat, as though we shouldn’t be proud of the broad melting pot that is our country. The deviants in the dark bowels of the Republican Party along with their media propagandists then decided to connect this notion of political correctness to issues of importance to the American people in order to belittle them also.

True political correctness exist within the ‘you’re either with us or against us’ right wing of the conservative end of the Republican Party. Qualifications matter little to this group compared to strict party loyalty down to accepting every single party principle of the moment. It is not possible to say something is, for example, truly blue when party loyalty demands it to be red.
