Do you believe political correctness is good for America?  Why or why not?

Actually, I think this is actually hurting America. Political Correctness began with the best of intentions (as all things do), an effort to spare people's feelings because we all take everything the wrong way.\n\nThe problem is that we tend to talk around our problems rather than address them. By using differently abling words between people, we are pretending that the underlying problems have been solved when in fact they are just being allowed to sit and simmer. Then, when the problem actually does explode, everyone will be surprised because they thought everything should be okay. This will make things worse because the average population will think the people complaining are without justification.

The line should have been drawn 20 years ago in the infancy of political correctness. I think it's too late to get rid of it. It's already caused irreparable damage to society.

I am brutally honest and I don't believe in sugar coating something to make myself look better so I imagine I am as far from Politically correct as they come...\n\nTo correct myself according to what society wishes I were...would be to compromise my own dignity and morals.

To be "correct" is to be right - without error.\n\nTo be "politically correct" is to be right, without offending anyone.

I really don't care for that "love it or leave it" statement. It certainly doesn't promote diversity. If Americans don't love America, they shouldn't give up on it or leave it. They should try to fix the problem rather than walk away. That's what makes this country such a great place.

I am VERY sick of being politically correct. Everyone seems so sensitive, women, blacks, Mexicans, gays, everyone. Funny the only people we never have to be sensitive to is White Christian Men, because they can be ripped on all the time. Funny how that works.

It started off nice but toward the end, the last comment I have to disagree. I think even though someone is from another country its good to learn the English language but a person should not be forced to one language or to change what one believes in. When a person is diverse, it breaks down racial and ethnic barriers. We should show loyalty to our country but this country does not solely run  on its own. This country also depends on foreign imports and exchanges for goods and products. We should have loyalty to whom God has said "Love Thy neighbor as you would yourself". God did not specify that you had to American to apply this to your life. There are plenty of people that were not born in America that have made great contributions to this country that we all benefit from.

2 words. Political Correctness.\n   To my British cousins-the sooner you crush your left, and vote them out of your government, the sooner you eliminate the unworkable Utopian pipe dream that allows those who hate you to live in your great nation.  Not only to live, but to collect welfare until the day they get the phone call to strap on a dynamite belt and waltz into a school.

I'd think no because they censor what they show. If they were more honest they would seem negative but it would actually be positive because we would know the truth.\n\nThe way things are now they make the bad look good and the good look bad, in order to be politically correct.

Whether or not you believe in evolution, etc, you have to admit that in many cases, 'political correctness' does it's very best to hide the truth. It also does alot to silence those who merely seek it.

No.  I would support discrimination based on not fitting in.  I don't care if it is national origin, race, ethnic background, religious beliefs, gender bending, what the hell ever.\n\nI have never had a problem working with people because of their origin, beliefs, or gender alignment.  And I mean queerer than a $3 bill.  I had a boss that was.  I enjoyed working for him.\n\nIf they don't fit with the team though, they are less than useless.\n\nCount my vote as a yes and no...

You simply said what 95% of Americans believe.\n\nThank you for refusing to be Politically Correct!

We can stop political racism. And the way to do that is by teaching our children about racism. If we want racism to succumb, we as americans have to own up for what we are doing. Teach our kids so when they themselves have kids, the cycle of unity continues. Unfourtunatly, groups like the KKK have the right to voice their views on public streets by way of the U.S. constitution. Is it right to promote hatred towards other people just because of the color of their skin? No, the government however goes give them the right to speak their views. I myself am African-American and I was not born in Africa. The following information will give you a better understanding of why the terms (AFRICAN-AMERICAN) and (BLACK) are used. \n\n**Black, also referred to as Negro or Colored (which is generally considered offensive) (noun, black or blacks; adjective, black people), is a color-defined term used as a form of ethno-racial classification. Though literally implying dark-skinned, "black" has been used in different ways at different times and places. The English word was spawned by the European colonization and conquest of non-Europeans. It solidified into popular culture during the Enlightenment as one of the four major categories into which European philosophers tried to organize the newly discovered human diversity. The categories were based upon skin tone as perceived by Europeans of the time: Red (Native Americans), Yellow (East Asians), White (Europeans), and Black (Africans). Today, the term's usage differs slightly among former European colonies. Latin Americans, former members of the British Empire, and Americans (USA) all use the term differently. The term is most often applied today in three ways. First, it denotes people who are seen as part of the African Diaspora. Second, it is also applied to native non-European people lacking African ancestry but who were labeled as "Black" by their colonizers. Third, it has been internalized as an ethno-political rallying label by leaders of oppressed and marginalized populations in several regions around the world.\n\n**An African American (also Afro-American, Black American, or black), is a member of an ethnic group in the United States whose ancestors, usually in predominant part, were indigenous to Africa. Many African Americans also have European and/or Native American ancestry as well. The term tends to refer to West African ancestries; not, for example, to white or Arab African ancestry, such as Moroccan or white South African ancestry. This is so even though there is huge genetic variation among the various inhabitants of sub-Saharan Africa. Members of the African Diaspora from non-African countries such as Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba (although they are logically African Americans, since they are located in the Americas and are descendants of Africans, with some admixture from Europeans and native Americans as well) or the United Kingdom are theoretically referred to by their nation of origin and not African American (even when they come from a Latin American country) unless they immigrate to the United States, but once a person of the African Diaspora becomes a permanent U.S. resident, then it is generally assumed that they (and especially their U.S.-born children) are "African American." \n\nI am proud to be African-American, Black, and as well American myself, I just know as a person of color what african slaves went through in (AFRIKA) for us to be free. That was the spelling of it until the english dictionary changed it to (AFRICA). There are so many people who risked their lives and fought for racial equality. People have to make the contious decision to stop promoting racism if we are to ever move forward as people and as a country. Here's a few quotes from some leaders of color past and present. \n\n\n(1). Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,\n    I am the dream and the hope of the slave.\n    I rise, I rise, I rise.\n    Maya Angelou (1928

I am honest all the time. F_ck political correctness. If people can't handle it, then they should close their ears. I talk about faggots and retards and so on, if it's necessary. Also, I am a so called "liberal" so I call the others wacko conservatives, but I am not a liberal either, they are also wacko. I am a hard line moderate and I don't care what anyone thinks about it, whether they be religious nutcases, faggots, dykes, retards or whatever. If they don't like it, so what. If I get reported for this, so what. If I get my account deleted, so what. I have more imortant things to worry about than whether I step on the toes of a person I am never going to meet.\n\nI don't believe in racism. I never use racial slurs. I hate racism. I wish all people could be mixed so we can stop talking about white, black, yellow, brown, red, etc. I really hate racism. Racist people are stupid, useless humanoids.

It is Politically Correct to only say that everybody is perfect and no one does anything wrong.\n\noops! I don't think I answered what you were asking! I'm soo sorry! I kind of have a headache, and I guess I didn't REALLY read the last part. Should I delete my answer then?
