Rather than throw around wild labels, why not say who you mean. Who are the "PC police"?

He cannot admit that Democrats are completely organized around the exploitation of race and class divisions, because admitting this would be admitting that the Democrats are running completely counter to the spirit and ideas that made America what it is.
Given I'm not American, it wouldn't bother me to "admit" that at all.
What I am hoping for here is a coherent and adult response to the points I made previously.
Btw, Class is a significant factor for all political parties right across the political spectrum. It is as important for Conservative parties as it is to Social Democrats, to socialists as it is to Christian Democrats.
Trying to pretend right wing parties do not take any notice of class is hardly a credible position.
Sniper Fire -
I said "wouldn't bother me", not "doesn't bother me".
As a Finn, it always delights me to come across native speakers who don't know their own language!
And what Romney is doing works on many people. I was helping a senior citizen with a computer problem this past week when the election came up. Briefly she felt that Obama (???) or maybe the democrats were responsible for women having children out of wedlock so the government would pay them. (in 2012 yet) Her feelings were so strong it amazed me. It goes back to Reagan's fictional Cadillac mom. The idea that having children to get paid is bizarre on the face of it even if some children born into that situation did receive sustenance. Do people do stupid things like having children out of wedlock, and then end up homeless or support-less, of course, but is this today, a reason to vote for Romney strikes me as absurd. Civil rights are still being fought out in the minds of many.

MSNBCs Touré: Romney Engaging In The Niggerization Of Obama | Mediaite
I love the terms LIbs dream up. The new one is now "coding". I heard it mentioned a few times in the past 2 weeks.
Hes really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama, the otherization, hes not like us.
I love the evolution of names as well. First it was "Negroes" , then "Coloreds", then "Blacks" and in now it evolved to African-Americans.
My point is why can't we all just be Americans. I don't go around calling myself Italian American. I'm an American first. An American of Italian descent.
Also, how does this guy derive anything racial from Romney's comment, "take [his] campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago.
This fool is the racist. Obama is angry and he and Biden are the ones using code: "ya'all back in chains"...not Romney. In addition, Obama came from Chicago so what's wrong with telling him to go back there. Also the implication to a lesser degree was towards Rahm Emanuel.

You do realize that segregation was not universal in this country, right? i went to a school system that was never segregated.
I am no expert on segregation, but it doesn't surprise me to hear it was not universal.
Nevertheless, it seems to me that globaly, minorities were not treated well in the 1950s, and that it was important for many countries to try to establish a middle class amongst minorities well.
The US needed black police, doctors, lawyers and teachers, and affirmative action was probably the best way of ensuring that happened.
But in 2012....I'm not convinced there is a widespread need for it.
btw. Thanks for the compliment, SB - they are a rarity in this place! I have spent much of my life overseas, so have had more than a few opportunities to work on my language skills!

Primarily those on the American Left who drag race, class and an attempt to restrict freedom of expression into every possible situation for political gain.
Obviously.
Was this a trick question?

I think the worst part of all of this is if Romney does win in November, the tone will only carry over. And thats a scary thought.
As I proud Democrat I will do my best to do an about face and support Romeny if he wins, he will be the leader of the free world and that commands a certain level of respect, this respect is gone as we currently speak. I get the feeling some on the right have no idea how to act properly and they need a good example set. Sad days indeed.
Since republicans aren't saying anything racial, the democrats have to invent code words, which could mean just about anything.

No, but it seems to have tricked you.
If you want people to know who you mean - name the people and organisations who are members of this "PC Police".
Otherwise it's a bit like talking about the Illuminati.
