According to the American Constitution, every man, (meaning male and female) has the right to speach. The only time, Constitutionaly, that one's speach should be halted is when it directly inflicts on the rights of others, (such as instructing in violence toward another, as only one example).
Political Correctness, however, applies greater restrictions to speach. It demands that any speach which simply offends another be stopped. The speach does not have to imply or incite violence, it only needs to emotionally offend others.
That being said, do not "Freedom of Speach" and "Political Correctness" contradict one another? If so, how can both be defended and promoted simultaneously, such as Liberals and Democrats do, (such as with MTV, VH1, and many Liberal programs)? How can one defend another's right to speach, and then tell them not to talk about whites, blacks, men, women, homosexuals, Christians, Muslims, etc...?
