That Moment When Political Correctness Takes One On The Chin

[TemplarKormac]

We hear the term 'Political Correctness' bandied about frequently in political discourse, we hear it when discussing social issues. It is nothing but a method of conformity. A way to instill loyalty and uniform thought and opinion. Now, when Mark Cuban made a statement on how he would "move to the other side of the street" if there were black kids dressed in hoodies, or bald white men with tats smattered all over their person." Those on the left immediately construed that as racist, blatantly ignoring the part about the white man.

Stephen A. Smith, a Liberal Sports Commentator for ESPN was supposed to be another victim of the PC police. But instead, he brushed them aside, and agreed with Cuban. He also completely vaporized the faux outrage coming from the left. He also managed to destroy the liberal class warfare argument in the process. However, those who were calling Mark Cuban racist, were calling Smith a "sellout" or an "Uncle Tom," saying he "ain't black," and that he "wasn't one of us." Quite ironic coming from a party that espouses tolerance of opinion. Smith further goes on to say that he stands by his statements "10-fold, 100-fold." The hunters had become the hunted. They had fallen for their own bait. And now, I present Stephen A. Smith, in that moment that political correctness took one on the chin.

Nice to hear some common sense broadcast to the public.

Some years ago chief extortionist and second-in-command (next to the so called "Reverend" al Sharpton) Jesse Jackson made similar comment, which was perhaps even slightly worse, because he said that if he was walking down a lonely dark street and heard foot steps behind him and discovered that it was a white guy, he would feel relieved.

Of course, that was a brave and courageous statement from a leader of the black community.

Go figure.

Mass hysterical liberal outrage over this?

Really? And yet, as far as I can tell, only 3 threads have been started on USMB about this,

and every one of them was started by a conservative.
