This PC crap needs to stop. Now "Black hole" is a racial slur? Along with Angle food cake?

WTF?

If this is allowed, I want the following :

- NAACP labeled as a racist group since I consider it a bigoted organization, if solely by its title and outlook.

- I'd also like CNN labeled racist since they offer up a special called "Being Black in America" but not a special "Being White in America".

- Ebonyjet.com and associates are also racist as they do not cover white issues.

- the list could go on and on and on and on and on and on.



Actually this kind of garbage was flung by Ali back in the day with comments like "...why is it's fleece was as white as snow.." and "..angle food cake is white, devils food cake is black.." So this is not new by any means, just even dumber. At least in Ali's defense, he was living in a time where racism ran rampant.

I swear, you could not make this crap up. I'm really glad the biggest issues we can come up with are WORDS.


Then again, this one: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,379842,00.html

I actually agree with, so figure that out haha.

I was in the operating room the other day. When we use laparoscopic surgery equipment, we have a main monitor, and secondary monitor that are traditionally called "slave monitors" as their pictures/videos are duplicates of the primary monitor. http://www.laparoscopy.net/safe/safe2.htm


the other day, I was told that the use of that term was offensive.

my response: "I am offended that someone is offended by a technical term describing a piece of equipment. They are forbidden from being in my OR and working my cases, because that is offensive to me."

that ended there.

hey wagner...........


becareful with that angle food cake. it doesn't seem too racist, but full of obtuse and acute interesections.

hahahahaha.

It is because of legal system the ability for people to sue for no good reason.
The best example is some one suing when hurt by hot coffee.

I'm blunt and not PC. One day, I know I'll get sued for saying something terribly offensive, but until then,

Folks need to lighten up, seriously.

Wag - totally agree with you.

Here's a thought, quit labeling people of what they are "supposed" to be. If your an American your an American. If you not, your not! Where the hell did Filipino-American, African-American, German-American etc...if I missed anyone please forgive me..be labelled as an "American" and stop there. This PC labelling is crap IMO.

Sheer stupidity at its best. Did you hear about the article stating that toddlers who dislike spicy foods are being racist? I heard it on the news this week. I googled it and there is an article in the UK telegraph but I can't seem to copy the link. My computer keeps locking up on it.
