Here's a perfect example of the lunacy of PC speech, and thanks for helpin bring it to fruition Blah.

Although my initial comment about Obozo goin back to Kenya was a definite political jab I had no intention of anything like a racial slant, nor did I make any mention of anything about Obozos race. However, because I am a white man making a comment about another man who is 1/2 black, the immediate perception becomes that my statements are in fact racist regardless.

This is EXACTLY what I meant when I said it has more to do with the race of the speaker and that of the person being discussed in what is then perceived as racist, and NOT what was actually said! And ... this is a shining example of how the tendrils of PC speech totally confounds the possibility of honest discourse as the skin color of whose being discussed always pushes the topic into racist territory, regardless of what the actual message itself is.

Then, since the discussion that follows leads away from the concept of what was said having been racist in nature, Blah comes back with a deleterious statement that because 99% of Kenya is in fact black that it still is basically a racist statement because of that statistic as this points in all likelihood to the concept again that my comments would still logically lead to a racist basis for my comments. In effect, since no racism exists, the concepts of PC speech STILL pushes to find racism in it somewhere in everything regardless!

However, what I didn see was some statistic regarding what percentage of Kenyans were in fact 1/2 black, though such an addition might have actually had more relevance overall!

Does anyone not see just how twisted the conversation becomes in making a case for something being construed as racially motivated? Does anyone else here not also see that a discussion between completely white men about someone who is 1/2 black has every facet of it examined in the most minute of detail in an attempt to MAKE it about race, whether it is, ever was, or ever would be about race at all
