Sure everyone has heard someone else being referred to as "a bad apple", good because the origin of that thought is a fact. If you leave a rotten apple in contact with other apples that do not have rot they soon will.
When we speak about race in this country, the majority stay within well established comfort zones of politically correct thought. Others in the minority jump on a soap box, or political stage expressing or preaching their views in hopes something will resonate beyond the first rows outside their ranks. The minority side of this equation is in constant debate mode they view themselves as being on a pilgrimage of sorts. The majority side has no real interest in the topic and desperately wishes whatever differances were already resolved and it would simply go away as an issue. The real problem begins when the majority side allows the minority to set special guidlines, parameters and to establish their own independent decency standards apart from the majorities.
What "political correctness" does is it authorizes and excuses a cowardice of thought under the protective umbrella of mass victimization. Which allows those who invokes it an ability to stereotype a word or label an action as acceptable or not based on their political interpretation. This so called correctness twists words like 'equality' or 'innocent' or interperates them up to 180 degrees away from their actual meanings. Industries of political correctness seeks to punish those it profiles in this case the "racists" to advance the exploitation of their accepted standard differences. Ironically it defines what racism is by the race or the intentions of the person or persons not their direct actions or the net result.
Allowing this hypocracy to exist is something the majority does everyday when it accepts the notion of the "innocent victims" living among us which is itself an act of cowardice. However the real act of cowardice on race is not the majorities ability to deal with the realities of their indivdual lives. The majority consists of people from all races, backrounds, rich, poor, and both genders who live their lives apart from the questions of racial equality. That is the goal of the minority isn't it?
Or
Is it a Black thing, you wouldn't understand?
No my friends the real act of cowardice is in the true minority the one that exploits reality, embrasses the shattered goals and shortcomings otherwise stunting the achievements of all mankind. This cowardice freezes growth and dumbs down achievement by replacing qualifying dynamics with a physical charactaristic type litmus test.
I have yet to seen a white, black, or hispanic person cooking in a Chinese restaurant. I'm sure they exist somewhere but I haven't seen the protesters either.
One cannot champion equality by promoting quotas that discriminate in the name fairness. Cowardice is when someone uses political correctness to alter the meaning of the word 'equal' into some form of indirect civil revenge.
