Political Correctness Needs to Go!

I'm so sick of everything in this world needing to be politically correct. Everybody is wearing their heart on their sleeve any more and it's impossible to say anything without stepping on someone's toes.

I 'm told I can't say I dislike a certain black person or I'll be labeled racist. I can't dislike a certain Mexican dish or I'm against Mexicans. It seems as if everyone else's rights are bigger and better than my own.

The other day I made a statement saying I disliked a certain female who happened to be black. I was accused of being a racist. She could be purple with orange polka dots and I'd still dislike this woman. Not because of what color she is, but how she acts. I'm tired of the race card being thrown in my face just because I'm white. I've never called anyone of any color the kinds of names I've been called. Due to the nature of my job, I get called "White bitch" fairly frequently. It passes with no major problems, I giggle and move on. But if I called any of the same people who said that "Black bitch" I'm sure Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson would be here to have me arrested within a day. It makes no sense to me.

It makes no sense to me how everyday common occurances get labeled "racism" too. Case in point, I present you with first the facts:
Last week, a 55 year old woman, who happened to be black was evicted from her rented apartment building by police. She'd never paid rent in the 6 months she was there. During the process, she attacked sheriff's deputies with a knife, severely cutting one's hand. She was arrested and taken to jail. She was served papers 90 days ago that told her of the eviction process and everything was done legally.

Now, here's the version from a co-worker of mine:
They up and came this past weekend to throw Miss X. out of her apartment. Poor woman, she didn't have time to find any place to go or anything. It was so mean for them to throw her out with no place to go. If she'd had a little more time, she could have found a place. She was so upset, she grabbed the knife. And do you know what they did? THEY TOOK HER TO JAIL! It was just really wrong and they know that.

Ok, I'm white, but if I don't pay my rent, my crap is legally going to be on the curb. If I pull a knife on a policeman, my butt is legally going to jail. My ACTIONS are what cause the end result, not my color.

Folks hollering racism need to sit back and reassess the situation. It's not their color/sex/religious affiliation that is in question, but their actions.
