We’ve become oversensitive, whatever happened to the comedy of Archie Bunker, Fred Sanford or George Jefferson?

Since the late 60’s, the world has changed.  Socially changed.  Blacks are now integrated, women’s rights are now being enforced; same as gays.  The voices of minorities are being heard and now, louder than ever and these voices are carrying opinions.  Opinions developed through their experiences and their ways of life and these perspectives have weight, spewing forth from titles such as President of the United States and Supreme Court Justice.  And including Senator, Congress(person), Mayor and Governor.  This has upset the status quo.  Tremendously.  Whereas the ruling party, in the past, could say and do whatever it pleases and say and do what pleases them, this is no longer the case.

Political Correctness is just a way of saying what’s not on your mind, your true self.  Change your mind and your true self then you no longer have to worry about being correct politically.  You’ll just be correct morally.
