Why would anyone be afraid to speak the truth about what they know? More specifically, why would any Black person in America engage in "politically correct" speech or feel better just because others do when talking about them?
Does being called an African American by a racist make you feel better or any less oppressed than when he/she use to call you by the "n" word? Because it's no longer "cool" for people to walk around spreading their hatred when they speak, does it make them less prejudice and more tolerant of Black people?
Because some whites are uncomfortable and complain when the subject of race relations in America comes up, why would any African American be empathetic toward their feelings and choose not to discuss the real issues about race in this country around them? Is PC language supposed to translate into them caring more about your feelings?
Is political correctness ruining our honesty? If you were in a room full of Blacks and find that you would communicate differently than if you were in a room of racially mixed people, then you're not being open and honest. Some people don't like to or are afraid to ruffle feathers when among a racially mixed audience. So they hold back.
So what does that make those of us who are PC empathizers?
