Your goofy , the conversation went like this, I say gay and gay people tell me that they don't as a group want to be called gay any more , I don't care your gay so I can call you gay.-------------- Who are you trying to kid . The right wing bigots flocking together and telling us what is right and wrong for everyone. As usual.

I'm not even right wing though. I consider myself Libertarian, but I have a mix of both progressive and conservative views depending on the issue. The funny thing about the conversation I had with this person was that out of the group of gay friends that were around, he was the only one who had a problem with it. The others were like... "Huh? I'm not bothered by people referring to me as gay." Then we all moved on.

Honestly it seems like it's more the left wing that is telling everyone what's right and wrong. I would even go as far as to say that the social justice warrior types are becoming the right wing of the left lately.

I knew and worked with a lot of gay guys... living and working in Laguna Beach and near San Francisco over the years, and they all (as far as I remember) referred to themsleves and each other as gay.

Well the term African American doesn't always apply though. Not all black people come from Africa and not all Africans are black. I've never met a black person that was offended by the word black, it's usually just spoiled liberal white kids who take offense because they like to create this illusion that they have some moral high ground to gain social status.

The concept of PC is a regressive stereotype to attack the left. It's not even in my vocabulary that I use. It's a right wing concept/attack/stupid. It puts you ,using it, concisely into a nice box as far as I'm concerned. I know who you are now.

One comment fits me in a concisely into a nice box? That tells me far more about you than my comment did about me. :lol:

The right are people that are traditionalists and are the ones that are not politically correct. They tend to fall back on old terms and that is when the left attacks them. The Right is constantly being labeled the racists and bigots and anybody that can't see that in the bakers who wouldn't bake the homosexuals their cake and the many other very blatent and obvious examples is ****ing blind. While the bakers in that case were bigots that does not negate the politically correct attack against others that are not bigots, but simply have different beliefs.

You just don't quite get it, political correctness is a blithering make believe idea that suppose to show how the right (the Regressives) are treated so poorly, poor baby's

It is sadly real and is related to the other new bigot things we have overshot on.

No the real bigot is usually the one who calls other people bigots. It's like when I lived in Boulder years back, a town that claims to be very progressive but yet you find nothing but white people there. At one point they had a latino community but they were mostly driven out because the so called "liberals" were worried about gang violence. I'll let that sink in for a minute.

Actually it's real, and used by overly sensitive liberals to shame those they disagree with over use of terms they find offensive.

including but not limited to:

"he"
"she"
"illegal alien"
"bum"
"crazy"
"criminal"
"eastern"
"factory"
"failure"
"fairy"
"fat" (unless it's reffering to a kentucky clerk)
"foreign food"
"founding fathers"
"garbage man"
"ghetto"
"handicapped"
"home economics"
"housewife"
"janitor"
"thug"
"jungle"
"midget"
"swamp"


etc etc etc.

You people are a laugh , you don't have to look any further then the president candidates to know where bigotry and hatred is dominant. The worst of them is the head of their party at this time. The uglier and more bigotry he can convey the more he gets ahead of his competitors, his numbers just go up higher and higher.. There is no need for more examples of the rights bigotry and hate then this example, it's defining. You can't hide from the fact. You regressives are a laugh a minute.

I actually do get it... if I call a black person black and get called a racist for it that is political correctness. Nothing about my statement was racist at all. Do you not agree?

I was labeled a bigot by a liberal person here for supporting national borders and immigration. He said that alone made me a racist bigot. That is also political correctness.

A person gets attacked for not towing the party line... if you refuse to acknowledge this that is your problem. If you don't see it I can educate you on it... either was, it is on you.

Goody, capitalism is your religion , political party and type of government, that's cool they have such great conscience.
 
It definitely exists, but always remember....context matters. Also, being racist isn't simply being "not politically correct". There is a line.

I'm for free market capitalism, not crony capitalism which is what you're implying. Another huge difference.

Should we start calling progressives who support Bernie Sanders racist because they want to adopt a Scandinavian Democratic Socialist model which is pretty much the whitest homogeneous culture there is? Their immigration laws aren't very welcoming either, so maybe the liberals that support this really are racist.

You don't sound much different in nature than the most fundamentalist, bible thumping dogmatic righty to me.

The only difference is that your true faith is different than their true faith.

A maybe can be taken to any extreme. I stand by my definition of Libertarian being a Anarchist for the wealthy.

I'm a libertarian bro, we were the first supporting civil rights, the first supporting gay rights, the first supporting self determination.


Lucky for you I'm not black or you would have to retract your "you people" opening.... MIRITE?!?!?! :lol:


Yes it's easy to see the presidential candidates and see who's the racist.

You have Hillary, Biden for example....


But you'll tell me how that's different, I'm sure.


Silly communists, democrats are the soft racists of lowered expectations.
