You might be, not me.
I am the decent of a super intelligent, white, blonde, blue eyed Norse God (who was also dyslexic).
(sarcasm)
I personally hate racists, just like i hate the rest of the scum our society has to offer up.
I do think that our PC culture is going too far, but at the same time i think anyone who has hate in their hart over the colour of their neighbours skin really needs to rethink life.

But continue to think you're special because your skin turned out to be a certain color. I'm still trying to think what goes on in the mind of a racist. For someone to think that they are special or that others that have a different skin color than them are inferior is just amazing, it's amazing because of the level of ignorance and down right stupidity that must be going on inside their little brains.
It's baffling how the species that has managed to land on the moon and send probes out into the far reaches of the solar system can be so ignorant to believe that skin color makes you either inferior or superior.

I don't know what to think about Political correctness, but I do think that everyone should have the right to say whatever they want but just be ready to accept the consequences.
TV personalities that get fired over offensive remarks, well that's the decision of the TV network and you have to look at it from their point of view. If you had a business and had an employee that was constantly offending and berating customers, would you keep him around? Would you want your business to be associated with that person?
I wouldn't.
You can say whatever you want, but just be ready to accept the consequences of what you said.

Really?
So you can say whatever you want, but if someone is offended, then they have a right to punish you?
I get so tired of people saying
You can say whatever you want, but just be ready to accept the consequences of what you said
I mean, in North Korea, you can say anything you want, but just be ready to accept the consequences of what you said!
In the old Soviet Union, you could say anything you want, but just be ready to accept the consequences of what you said!
in China, you can say anything you want, but just be ready to accept the consequences of what you said!
When people say that others have to take responsibility for what they said, then that also opens the door to allowing anyone who feels offended to punish with impunity!
Should YOU get punished because I found something you wrote offensive? I mean, you are responsible and therefore accountable, and I have immunity from punishment because I was "offended".
Hell, we don't even have free friggin' speech in America anymore because some poor weenie might get their panties in a twist and become offended if some bad old meanie says something they don't like.
I'd rather live in a society where I knew who the racists were, than live in a society where everyone was a liar and afraid to speak their mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beezz, the point was as a business owner, you have the right to axe an employee driving your customer bases away into oblivion & tarnishing everyone working there. Let me put it this way. If I ran a restaurant & hired you as a waiter, I'd expect you to treat everyone fairly & have some semblance of manners. If it were to come to my attention that Beezz the Waiter was flinging out the N word or insulting gays, or otherwise making the customers angry & uncomfortable, I'd be well within my rights to shove my foot up yer ass while you're halfway out the door with your last paycheck. You can say what you want, but I'm not keeping you on the payroll if you're going to make me, my establishment & other employees look like ish because you have a big mouth you can't control.

That's because my freedom of expression would interfere with your rights to earn a dollar.
But what if you were simply offended by what someone, in another shop, in another state said?
Do I still have to be accountable to your standards?

No one is saying that you should censor yourself in order to not offend anyone when you are out in the street or in public, because that's your right to free speech.
However when you are employed by someone and you start offending customers, don't be surprised when you get fired.
And I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Funny isnt it, you blame religion and I blame Darwin for extreme racism and we act no different than racists by segregating others because you are different to me.
The I am better than you mentality
