Still Wondering

How can one speak out about any situation with out being politically correct? Why do we afraid to say what we want about any situation as it is with out the fear of being labeled as arrogant, insensitive and above all racist? What is race has to do when pointing out individuals weaknesses? I always wonder why a society as complex as ours seems to struggle to be critical of others actions honestly and constructively? Am I being racist when I judge the actions of individuals regardless their racial or ethnical classification? If I do not say what I see as I see it, am I finding some sort of sweetener as a coating on the actual message? How do I know people get the message that is hidden underneath the coating? Is political correctness the coating? I am just wondering.

It is what it is

Well Joey really elaborate the so called meaning of what it is, the question I have and want all of us to think about is that why are we so consumed by it. Is the idea of being politically correct making us to be less truthful? Are we as a society mumbling more and speak out less in fear of being labeled as bigots, racists, uneducated, unreasonable and so on and on. Who is benefited by this term? I have migrated from Africa twelve years ago and been a citizen of this great nation for a little more than five years and I have seen enough to say something about this word, off course not in a positive way and by now any reader would sense this too. I am not sure whether it is a class divide or racial one, but definitely there is a divide and the word political correctness is used accordingly.

What a word

Who the heck needs this artificial, meaningless and degrading word anyway? I have been asking this question for the last few years and I had had it and I have to say some thing about it. Would I change peoples mind? Heck no and that is not my point any way. Well I have to get back to it tomorrow I guess. Me
