Why is it anti-PC to speak against gays and minorities but A-OK to insult Christians and white folks?

Question

I am not at all defending crude remarks of gays and minorities. I happen to be a minority as you can see, but why is it just great to make fun of groups like whites and Christians with no repercussions?

If you speak against Islam, you are hateful. If you say something bad about Christianity, you are voicing free speech. There is a double-standard at work here and it is getting us NO CLOSER to living in this world peacefully with each other.

Can't we all just RESPECT EACH OTHER???

bush invented the google-- WHY do these people deserve to be made fun of?

Answer 1

well I'm white and a Christian, and I do not let it get to me.
My Jewish Savior said there would be times like these.

Answer 2

Because whites have complete and total power and control of this country. You can go back over 100 years and find white millionares. Wealth is nothing new to white folks...minorities on the other hand? There were no Oprahs, Shaqs or super rich blacks as far as just 50 years ago. Minorities live in the same 2007 as whites but socially, politically and economically we are about 100 years behind and trying to catch up. I say that because blacks are doing things for the first time that white folks have accomplished more than a century ago. Plus, this country has a history of relentless oppression of minorities by white people. This includes hanging, raping, killing to simply denying employment, admittance into schools etc. The deconstruction and dismantling of white dominance is absolutely necessary if we are to ever achieve true equality of opportunity in America.

Answer 3

I think it all comes down to the inability to address an issue with facts or any kind of logic.

And the indoctrination of our children wherein personal responsibility is no longer lifted up as a virtue.

This ideology cuts across the board.

'Someone' has to be to blame for whatever is bad in our lives. Right now the perception by the left is that the 'man' is a WASP and therefore anyone that fits the mold is also to blame and ripe for defamation.

When we all judge people based on actions, rather than perceptions, we will all benefit from the wonderful diversity that makes up our nation.

Great question!

Answer 4

This is a true story. Yesterday I was walking my dog (who weighs14 pounds and has never ever bitten anyone). A black man was walking on the same sidewalk, reached over to pet my dog, my dog tried to bite him. If you are a dog lover, then you know they only see in black and white and are often fearful of people who do not belong to their owner's race (I'm white). Thank God, this was a nice guy. I apologized we shook hands and both walked away. I couldn't sleep last night because I was afraid that I had raised a racist terrier. If the guy had happened to be white, I could have let it go . . . It's crazy - my rational mind knows that the race of the other person doesn't matter but my irrational mind is winning the war. I'd imagine most people have some sort of similar issue . . .

Answer 5

The most curious social convention of the great age in which we live is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected.
-- H L Mencken, in American Mercury (March, 1930)

I don't limit my criticisms to Christians, white or otherwise. Personally, I think all religion is a plague Islam being the second worst offender. What I don't understand is when Christians (or any other religious group) gets confronted with the ugly truth, they sudden become the victim. Give me a break.

Below is a list of websites where Christians spread lies about gays and others in some cases. When you can list at least that many that do same to white Christian guys, I might give your argument so consideration. Until then, get off the cross somebody needs the wood.

Answer 6

I think its different in the Uk! The area im from is a predominantly black area. Infact, not just a black area, an every race area. White people are afraid to go out of their front door at night for fear of being mugged/attacked. It is an unsafe neighbourhood. From what I hear in America there is still alot of racism, but in the Uk it is perfectly acceptible to use racist terms insulting white people, and we are made fun of. Police cannot stop a black person to search them for fear that they will be labelled racist. If I said someone had been racially abusing me id be laughed at and it wouldnt be taken seriously. Maybe we are paying for what our ancestors did. How long till we dont have to bear the burden of their mistakes, and EVERYONE is truly equal not just minority groups?

Answer 7

The PC movement targeted Christian white male speech a long time ago. It was as if we held all the power for so long, now it was time for us to shut up and listen. The problem is most of us white male types have never been a part of the injustice Liberals seem bent on punishing.

All of this has resulted in a lot of us keeping our mouths closed for fear of being labeled this or that.

Answer 8

good question! I think the ones who are narrow minded and think all Christians are far right Waco's are in the minority, they are just more vocal on their self righteous opinions. God will always be in control and is alive and well despite what they believe. Man without a belief in our creator but in their selves and their like are the center of their universe and will always be disappointed and negative.Look at their views on things. The sky is falling, if you believe in America and defending her way of life you are a war monger. Even though we have a roaring economy despite a war America is evil and needs to be changed. It is a disgrace to execute a convicted murderer but ok to kill millons of innocient unborn children mostly for convience sake. By no means is America perfect and the further away we stray from God and his teachings the faster we will destroy this once great country.

Answer 9

Political Correctness allows you to make disparaging remarks but only about Christians and white people. Some actually believe that you cant be racist if you are a minority and this myth is contributing to anti white statements.

ex
Imus said nappy headed hoes and hes gone

A New York Congressman said he wants to just slap a white person and he still has his job

Christians are ridiculed because they have a standard of morality. This is an offense to the left elite who want America to have no standards or no morality.

Make no mistake about it the misery merchants Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton want you to be seen forever as a victim at the hands of the white devils. Why? Because if you realise you are not a victim and can succeed at anything you set out to do without hand outs or affirmative action, if you realise this then Jackson and Sharpton will be out of a job.

Answer 10

Because the objective of socialism is to destroy everything that is America and rebuild it in the socialist model. Some of the things necessary to destroy are:
Religious freedom.
The right to bear arms.
Free speech.
Capitalism.
Individualism.
The nuclear family.
Liberty.
Self determination.
All honor and respect for the founding fathers.

The way this is accomplished is by dividing Americans up into minorities along any available line. Race, Religion, Sexual Orientation, Level of Income to name a few. They convince each group that they have a grievance against America, the resolution of which would be to further undermine American institutions that are the bulwarks against socialism.

Answer 11

Probably the best question of the day!

It seems the only way to respect each other in this day and time is to just ignore each other. I don't like that. I like being social and discussing issues. I enjoy friendly conversation and intelligent debates. Unfortunately, the same people who yell at you about tolerance and acceptance are the most intolerant and unaccepting people a majority of the time.

Anyway, great question!
