The Danger of Political Correctness

What are dangers in political correctness? The Nazis were scum; we all know that. They killed six million Jews. What about the Japanese in World War 11? They put people in prison camps; they worked British soldiers to death. They interred European families in concentration camps who were barely fed enough to survive. Yet we have movies and television shows too numerous to mention about Ayran groups and barely a whisper about a Japanese former commander who was being hunted by a son or relative whose father, grandfather, mother, et cetera died in one of those internment camps. No to write a drama about that, or a mystery story, would be politically incorrect. The Orient has the wisdom of Confucious, non-violence and such! Do not make us look bad!

Now you get a reason why those Cambodians died in the Killing Fields, the Iraqis and formerly Iranians exterminated ethnic groups other than their own, and the Serbs massacred Bosnians, Albanians, et cetera and no one took much notice until it was too late. Why it is as clear as the nose on your face. They were not Nazis, the predecessors of that evil White Man.

Let me continue. The Bible did not say, "Come all ye blessed African Amercans, Native Americans, Chinese, Vietnamese and other ethnic groups, enter ye into the joy of your Lord." nor did it say, "Depart all ye evil white men, into the fire reserved for the devil and his angels.", but the politically correct people would like to think so.

Want Ads from : The Stereotypical Post

THE EVIL WHITE MAN

You are Lee Ching, who formerly ran the Tong in Asia.
You put your enemies to death by various tortures.
You are an expert in martial arts. Men fear you. You have amassed great wealth.
And now that you are in America, you are regarded as a weak worthless worm.
You need an evil White Man now to oversee your activities.


THE MORAL AFRICAN AMERICAN
You are an Anglo Saxon of Scottish descent, have always attended the Presbyterian Church,
have raised your children in the faith, none of your kids have been in any trouble.
Now you move to America,
but as soon as their foot steps on American soil, your kids go wild.
So who do you need in your hour of desperation?
Who else but the Moral African American



THE WISE ORIENTAL

You are a professor at the University,
you even double as a brain surgeon in your spare time,
You have solved numerous problems,
But suddenly you are told, that your solutions are not feasible.
What do you do?
You ask for the Wise Oriental.

POLITICALLY CORRECT MEDIA HIRING ADVICE

Hire someone not on their talent but either because they are of a certain race, they have a disability, or are of a certain perceived persecuted group.
It is sad to say that many companies and countries have now taken that advice. True that the people they hire may have good qualifications, but they were not hired because of that. It is more a statement that "Our company does what it can to make the Cree, Assinboine, etc. (I live in Manitoba, and these are two of the Native
American tribes that live there.)feel good. I work for a nice company" or in America, the statement is "We are not racists," because they hire people who are non-white."
The danger is that they hire because they want a quota so it looks nice. In Manitoba, there is a campaign to hire a disabled person because they are nice. Well you are supposed to hire a person because he or she can do their job and are qualified, not because they can only get around in a wheelchair. That wheelchair does not magically make them qualified to do the accounting, that being in Manitoba University and getting their degree in accounting does. Sure hire someone who has something wrong with him, but do not hire on account of sympathy, just hire because he hs the best person for the job.

COMPUTERS, WOMEN, AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

Many women are scared of computers. No, I am not talking about the ones that go to University and sit in those programming and business classes, nor the female geeks who find it easy to rattle off C++ and such with their eyes closed. I mean women who have sons and husbands using the computers. It is as if there was a sign saying, "You who were formerly eachers, nurse, dress designers, secretaries, office workers, or other professions, you must give up your computer, except for e-mail, to be a full time homemaker, because for you it is now a time waster. You must also not be able to go on the Internet because it is now so complicated for you." The Internet is not evil, but some sites are evil, pornographic, and harmful, especially to children, although I know adults who are terrified of these sites, not because of temptation, but it makes them sick. The purveyors of evil would love to drive off all the decent people. They do it in many ways, by sending messages telling one to go to a site, by numerous pop up windows, by taking advantage of a person making a mistake in typing the URL. However, there are numerous good sites where you can get home making information, recipes, patterns, health hints. There are Christian sites, sites about the Bible, and several Churches have their own web sites.

Now for you men out there. Please let your wife use the computer. You can make a list together of what sites you would allow your children to see. I have my own personal motives for writing this. Every time you say the Internet is evil, you let the ones who would show inappropriate so called adult sites wrestle more of the Internet from you.

I read that at the Swissair Memorial Service, the Christian ministers were not allowed to speak the name of Christ. All the others could mention Buddha, Allah, and what not. This is wrong. It is an insult to God and to the Christian community. This is political correctness

LOOSING WEIGHT IN WINTER NOT EASY

Cutting down on food just won't do it. You need exercise. Walking is the best, but it sure is hard to do when it gets to 30 below zero, and when there's a high wind chill. Walking on a treadmill is so boring, and when your house is not that big, you can't just go up and down the stairs all the time for each piece of laundry or go from the dishwasher to the cupboard with just one plate. I'd like to see a photograph on those magazine articles on "How to exercise in Winter" of someone wrapped up head to toe, so we can just see her eyes, snow banks piled up to here, and the snow almost covering her boots.
Yet when you watch Tv, and you see those fit and slim models, you wonder why do they not show anyone who really struggled like on the Biggest Loser? I have not watched that show that often, but I see those obese people struggling up hills, going up stadium steps, and when I do catch the show later on, those obese people are now just fat, lately pleasantly plump and finally slim.
Yet they are always exercising in moderate climates and even the Canadian version of the Biggest Loser, that is based in Edmonton, the losers are losing weight in Spring, Summer, and Fall, never when there is snow on the ground and it really does snow in Edmonton. It is not just a light sprinkle.
You see when it is cold, you need more fuel, and when it snows, it is harder to move and when it is forty below, shoveling snow can only be done for so long before you have to go into the house.
Yet losing weight is harder in the winter. Wait until spring and then the pounds will come out as you are able to walk.

HATE CRIMES

Someone who burns down just churches, does not allow Christians to hold meetings, does not let Christians to express their opinions and says that Church groups should allow people of different sexual orientations or those who do not follow the Christian way of life, is just guilty of a hate crime as someone who beats up a homosexual.
To make it clearer, murder of anyone no matter what is a hate crime. If you allow hate crimes, it will soon be thought crimes abd is that what is happening now? What about the people in the Sudan and in much of the Muslim world who are being tortured or persecuted because they are Christians.
Yes in America, they are going after those who do not like homosexuals, while brethren in far off lands are being hauled off to jail, tortured, women raped, children hacked to pieces and horrible things done to them because they refuse to worship Allah.
Who do you value the most?

MARRYING FOR RACE OR SOCIAL STATUS

Actually there are only two races here on Earth, the children of God and the children of Man, and both groups have variations in skin color, shape of noses, faces, hair color, straight or kinky, etc. We are all descended from Adam and Eve who were probably in middle as far as features and shade are concerned. However we come now to the present and a peculiar situation. What about marriage? It does not matter if you marry someone whose ancestors came from Europe as you did, or from Africa. You should marry the one of the opposite sex from you because you get along together, you love each other, you have the same basic beliefs. You shouldn't marry to show that you are not a racist, or that you believe people of that particular opposite ethnic group are more virile, love children more, more close to the earth, or all that stuff. And your children will not be African Americans or Native Americans or Canadians, they have the genes from both of you. If the mother is black, and their father is Scottish Irish, that Scottish Irish in them does not disappear.
Now in Canada and many other countries, both ethnic groups counts and so there is no pressure on the blondest girl marrying the blackest man or visa versa. Because no matter how the mix, all the elements of both backgrounds come together. There is another thing. There is no resentment - except for the Native Canadians who went to the residential schools - and part of it was because what used to work in the Public Schools in England did not work in Amerindian society where the children were never separated from the tribe or the family and whereas there were safeguards in the English Public Schools where potential pedophiles were found out before, there were none in the Residential schools and of course the pedophiles and child abusers as evil men have done, took advantage of this lack of security.
There is another thing about Canada. We have mixed neighborhoods, where the only thing that separates one community from the other is one is middle class, one is working class, and one is upper class, but in the United States, the lines are of color and that makes racism more attractive.
So instead of the rich man marrying the poor girl or the rich girl marrying the poor boy who does his best to show he is worthy, one marries someone of a different ethnic group to show that he is worthy.
Yet both these ideas are wrong. One is assumed to show one is not a racist and the other to show that one does not care for the class system and neither work because there will always be resentment. Marrying should be for love and because both parties have something in common, or are of the same beliefs, and not to prove a point.

NATURAL DISASTERS

First let's say something about Katrina. The former President George W. Bush was losing his popularity among the Blacks because he did not come to their aid as they would have liked. First did Katrina deliberately target the black communities? If slavery had not happened and if the majority of the population were either native Americans or Whites, would Katrina have never happened? Would you have rather had the aid just go to the Black communities and leave the whites to fend for themselves - after all they are 'not worthy.' Do you think that Bush actually caused the hurricane? Was that God's punishment on you for electing him president, would God have wanted you to elect a president who is against what he stands for? Would you want a president who perhaps is not only pro abortion, and for homosexual rights to marry and adopt children (because they are being sob sob persecuted), but also cheats on his wife? If you had elected a Democratic president who is against the morals Bush follows, would Katrina have just been denigrated to a tropical storm and not done any damage? Isn't aid supposed to be dependent on the person's circumstances, not on his class, color or lack thereof? Did Katrina, the Earthquake in Pakistan, and other diasters happen so that the taxes will be raised and wages lowered in the more prosperous part of America, Canada, and Western Europe in order to transfer monies to these areas? Do these disasters happen because we are in the End Times and God wants all men to repent and in the case, of Katrina, would it not have been better to imagine the worse case scenario and take the best protection so that when Katrina did strike, it would have caused less damage?

What is Prejudice or Bigotry

Prejudice is when you think that people of a certain ethnic group are superior to others. It has nothing to do with sexual preference. There are some things that God is against and normal people find morally reprehensible. However let's examine if the media is prejudicial. If Black man says that "I came out of Saratoga Baptist Church with my wife and children when I saw the old man crossing the street, the car hit him," that would be shown in the drama. If a white man says that, "I came out of the Saratoga Methodist Church (which is across from the Saratoga Baptist Church)with my family and we saw a Blue Pontiac hitting this old guy," there would be no mention unless you find out that same white man was the member of the KKK, a white supremist or the church was really named the Saratoga Whites First Methodist Church or something similar.
Now what if that black man was the member of the Saratoga Blacks are Better than White Society, an organization known for buying property at below cost values so that black people who would not qualify for low cost mortages - i.e. drug dealers and gangsters - can get in a neighborhood. If one mentioned this, would that be prejudicial?

If you need a new police chief, you happen to live in a town in Minnesota -yes, the majority of the people are of Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish descent, but you hire a black chief, would that be acceptable? However, what if the reverse were true? You live in New York City, in Harlem. The chief retired or you hire Jack Johnson a blue eyed man of Swedish descent, complete with the tall rangy look and blonde hair. In what instance, would you get the most irate letters, emails, and phone calls? So why is it acceptable to have Daniel Lamont, who is an African American who just moved from South Carolina be the police chief in Smalltown, Minnesota, yet Jack Johnson originally from Minnesapolis, Minnesota cannot be the police chief in Harlam. By the way, lets say that both men worked in their various police stations in their original towns, and both got honorable discharges from the army, complete with medals for heroism, both are married, are active in their churchs, etc.

This is just a small example. So being prejudice does not mean that you are prejudiced if you think black people are inferior, it means you are also prejudiced if you think white people are inferior. In fact, anyone can be prejudiced against someone of a different or even a lighter skin color. It is saying that we give preferential treatment based not on experience but on the color or lack thereof of one's skin.

Types of Movies I Do Not Like

Besides pornographic, movies that extol Buddha movies that show Christianity in a bad light, movies that show that the only moral character is non-white, and the one getting persecuted is non=white, where the sheriff or head of the police department is Black and it happens to be in New Mexico or California or Kansas,etc. I hate movies that shows that

The White person or people are dead, lets celebrate: e.g. Deep Water and Playing it Forward are an example. Have you noticed in both, the music played was inappropriate? No dirges, no sad instrumentals in a minor key. As if you are supposed to be happy that a couple drowned at sea and were eaten by sharks or a boy was murdered. Of course, I also don't like movies where there are proficious use of the f-work, or blasphemy. I mean, a guy hits his thumb with a hammer, he loses all his money, someone kills his wife – you'd expect him (I am not talking about true Christians) to let out a curse, but every second sentence?

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL, THOU SHALT NOT COVET

In the last few years, possibly more, there has been a raft of movies whose titles were borrowed -in one case, slightly altered so that the hero of the movie would be an African American. This is outright stealing and also shows a lack of originality. Although movies such as The Front Page were also done in various versions, they were not redone for the purpose so those of a certain ethnic group would say that that was the only movie made. Even in the case of movies such as The Magnificent Sevenreference that it was a western version of The Seven Samuriwas stated, not so in the movies made to reflect an African American or Black hero. The former were redone to update the date, and time, not to make an African American, Chinese, or whatever to associate the movie with their ethnic group. This is not the first time. How many people know that Martin Luther originally referred not to the man who led the Civil Rights movement, but to the former monk who started the Protestant Reformation? Unless you are a Christian, not many.

Below is a list of three of the movies redone to let the African Americans be the heroes and I doubt any of them played the villain.

Original: The Bishop's Wife: Remade: The Preacher's Wife
Original: Doctor Doolittle Remade: Doctor Doolittle
The Manchurian Candidate Remade: The Manchurian Candidate

Now The Manchurian Candidate may have been brilliantly written, even got three out of five stars — a major accomplishment, but unlike the others which just changed all the characters into Blacks or African Americans, it makes the hero played by Denzel Washington, an African American who goes against the villain and villainess who are white — another case of "we Blacks are morally superior than you whites who are more inclined to commit crimes against your country, etc." And that is the case here. It would have been better if in this remake, the villain and villainess were of the same ethnic group as the hero. But then again, 'don't make us the bad guys, always make us the good guys.' At least James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman played villains and for that they showed courage. Also before the present political correctness, other Black actors played shady or morally bankrupt,even bullies and cowards. Where is that courage now? Sadly lacking.

Television's Desire On Modern Life

In the nineteen fifties when I grew up, shows such as Father Knows Best and Westerns reflected the morals of the times. In the nineteen sixties, although there were shows such as Leave it to Beaver,there developed a disturbing trend in the late sixties with shows such as Bewitched and the Munsters putting a peaceful face on the horror shows our parents and grandparents watched at the cinema.

In these witchcraft became good and beneficial, witches and monsters were seen as ordinary people with strange powers, not the denizens of hell that they really were. Now we see an increase in psychic readings, witchcraft as a good force, and Christianity, the only thing necessary to stop this, is shown as a hypocritical religion.

Television and movies also influence family life Have you noticed that many of the shows in the nineteen sixties and seventies featured couples dating for inordinate periods of time so that it seemed their biological clock would run out before they popped the question?

In the eighties, we developed racially oriented television. I cannot count how many police show had black police captains, and how many had the sterotyped wise Japanese or Chinese. In fact, it still is that way now and we wonder why many young men of European ancestry do not go to University or drop out. In the nineties the Japanese and Chinese as well as the other nationalities were now viewed as the rest of us with all the traits of goodness and badness that makes up the human population. The blacks, however, were now shown as very good even when they were on the side of wrong, knowledgable and the holders of moral values as so perfect. (Star Trek Voyager makes fun of this attitude with Tuvok.) We also had shows in which the black cop or partner had children while his white partner was single, had no children, or going through a divorce after a childless marriage.

This trend has now increased and the media is to blame. Most shows put blacks in superior positions, teachers, police chiefs, heads of companies, etc. The danger in this that it discourages those who are non black (that is white) from trying. Now not only are the blacks in superior positions, but they are usually arrogant,and bossy. However, when I watched a documentary about a murder, the police chief there (who incidentally lived in an area with a high black population) answered the interviewer's questions with decency and politeness, showing that television does not echoe real life. You cannot stereotype ethnic groups and you cannot get ahead at the expense of others.

Now in twenty first century, we have the shows in which if there is a pregnancy and a birth, the child is always, every single time, a girl We have shows where if a child dies, it is a boy, not a girl. If a boy lives, it is usually non white. (Now I hope this trend does not continue, I do not want to see any increase in the membership of such organizations as White Supremecists and the KKK who would be watching these shows.) I even watched a show where one of the heroines said to one of the characters that "your son died so that little girl could live." It seems that baby boys and little boys are a dying race on television land. So how do we change this?

Apart from writing to television stations, whenever an actor or an actress has a baby boy, those who are on posts can write with the same enthusiam as when the actor or actress has a baby girl. If one writes fan fiction, don't kill off the boys. Don't just make the boys in minority races. If you are writing a continuing story speculating the hero and heroine, have a least one of the children a boy, and don't make him die or (in the case of one particular story I read) all the boys die in infancy while the two sisters survived. Not real life.

We can remember that not all boys grow up to be wife abusers, some actually become decent citizens and how many of you "I want the baby of this particular show to be a girl because they are so cute and innocent" are able to carry down a two hundred pound unconscious man down a ladder from a blazing building? If television were real life, are any of you girls or women willing to work as hard as your fathers or husbands or brothers the whole time up until you are sixty five or beyond, with the same intensity, in the same hard jobs they do? Not every woman is built like a Word Federation Champion.

Television, Movies, and Ethnicity and How They are Played Out
First I believe there are two races on Earth, the Children of God and the Children of the World. However for those who believe that there is a white race, a yellow race, a red race, and a black race (making it simple), it often influences the roles the particular ethnic group plays on Movies and Televsions. Today, mostly when watching a show about someone being victimized, wrongly accused of a crime, having his child denied a life savings operation, being pursued by the CIA, FBI, or whatever, being mistaken for a vicious criminal, etc., he is always an African American or Black (that's so we can distinguish if he was from the United States or from Jamaica or someplace else, but I doubt he was from the latter definition.)

Now giving that these horrible things could happen to everyone, when watching these shows, one gets the impression that the person was persecuted because he was African American. In other words, he was persecuted because of the color of his skin.

Such portrayal of the media is wrong and diminishes the sympathy and help to those who are not black who are being wrongly accused, etc. It also makes people blaise about black people in the Sudan who are being persecuted for being Christians.See Sudanpage.Unfortunately the media only got interested when the Arabians from the North started attacking all the Black people in the Sudan, not just the Christians, but also the Moslems and Animists.
