The American Left, including the media and the "pundits" -- not to mention many on USMB -- have gone all in, again, on the Micheal Brown case. It was shocking to see what the governor has said about how Wilson must be prosecuted. It even spread into the culture, with the Washington Redskins (gotta love the irony there) holding up their hands in "solidarity" before their game.
In the light of new evidence - "witness" supposedly recanting evidence, Wilson's busted eye socket - if the story ends up falling apart, I wonder if the PC Police will finally have jumped the shark. I'll remain hopeful, because the huge task of healing wounds between blacks and the rest of American society can't begin until the PC Police are exposed as the frauds that they are.

what is PC? not intentionally insulting others?
why do you want it to backfire?
Glad you ask.
What is PC? Political Correctness is strategic hypersensitivity, designed and deployed specifically to put your target on the defensive and thereby control the conversation. It allows you to avoid discussing the issues honestly while gaining intellectually dishonest tactical advantage over your target. It's also an instrument of intimidation and control, and I'm not terribly fond of those tactics. It's deceitful and cowardly.
Why do I want it to backfire? Because PC allows the Left to successfully avoid honestly examining problems facing this country - getting worse by the hour - by deflecting the conversation. It has played a significant role in further isolating blacks from the rest of American society, for example. It has allowed the American Left to gain political advantage in a most dishonest and cynical way, at a horrific cost to people who deserve better.
PC is perpetrated by people who are after nothing more than advantage, not an honest conversation, and (in its various forms) it's playing a critical role in the decay of our country. It's dividing Americans like virtually nothing else could. It's isolating Americans like virtually nothing else could. And I hate to see anything that is contributing to the decay of this country, especially when it is so god damn fraudulent.
I certainly don't expect you to admit to or acknowledge any of this, but I'm glad you asked.

i think sometimes what you call "political correctness" is simply good manners. that is not to say that people can't say any stupid thing they want. it just means that others will look at them for what they are when they do.
as to why you want it to "backfire", i'm afraid i find that divisive and typical of right-wingers who resent others being treated with dignity. can it get out of hand? of course. on the other hand, if someone thinks it's simply "politically correct" to understand that unarmed blacks get targeted in this country in a way whites don't is simply ignorant. what you call "politically correct" is what i call remediating a terrible injustice.
so there ya go. but i do appreciate your response and your civility.
Ask yourself this- Ever wonder why blacks are targeted? Do you understand the root cause?
I'll wait..

Root cause is pretty clear and age old.
You have a group of people that have been initially thought of as slaves thrust into a society that does not regard them as equals. And that hasn't changed all that much since the civil war. The government has codified equality, but there is a large part of this society that is slow to catch up to the law.
Poverty is essentially the root cause of crime and revolution.

Because of the obvious.... they commit most of the crime.
Want to end racial-profiling?
Stop breaking the law....
it must be nice for you to be surrounded with at least some like-minded people. in normal society, you wouldn't do very well.

It's a contrivance of the partisan right, a failed attempt by Republicans to deflect from the fact that racists are attracted to conservative dogma.
Eyewitnesses can go both ways. I look at the forensics. This kid was hit 8 times. ONce in the head when he was already down.
And frankly, this was not a use of deadly force situation.

It's a contrivance of the partisan right, a failed attempt by Republicans to deflect from the fact that racists are attracted to conservative dogma.
Its a way of setting the perimeters of the debate before it gets started and to stop people from saying what they want to. Its yelled by people who just want to say asshole things but will also will want others to abide by the terms they set up.

no one is "keeping you from saying what you want to say". you can say things that are as stupid as you wish. but you should understand that when you do, an awful lot of us will think you're a jerk. that's OUR right. isn't that awesome?

It is anyone's right to call them a jerk, but it is not anyone's right to threaten their employers with boycotts till they fire a targeted employee. The latter is not free speech it is extortion.

tell it to the Dixie chicks.
There is a clear, obvious and significant distinction between "thinking someone's a jerk" and trying to get them fired for speaking their mind; trying to intimidate a company into firing that person; trying to intimidate an entire society into watching each and every word they say or they'll suffer the consequences.
The PC Police denies all this, of course. They can't admit to what they're doing.
.
The exposure and marginalization of the PC Police would be such great news that I don't want to get my hopes up.
We could finally begin to move on with the healing and the end of the isolation of American blacks.
Imagine that.
.
Or we can stop trying to pretend that racism isn't prevalent in this country.
Officer Trigger is going to prison. Deal with it.
And this is based on what exactly?
Was there a trial already?
Hey, who cares. The Left has convicted the cop because he's white. Even the freaking Governor has convicted him.
Think of all the money we can save by just letting the Left decide everything for us. Who needs investigations or legal proceedings?

yes, because wanting due process is the same as pre-convicting someone.
tell us again how you've determined IN ADVANCE that the unarmed black guy deserved to get shot to death for jaywalking.
