PC in the NBA

PC in the NBA

Despite the proven absurdity of the unwritten, unofficial, inequitable rules of political correctness by which America is forced to live, the agents of PC keep finding new ways to enforce it, some subtle, some blatant, all ridiculous.

One observer who has traced the history of political correctness calls it “cultural Marxism” and explains, “the name originated as something of a joke, literally in a comic strip, and we tend still to think of it as only half-serious. In fact, it’s deadly serious. It is the great disease of our century, the disease that has left tens of millions of people dead in Europe, in Russia, in China, indeed around the world. It is the disease of ideology. PC is not funny. PC is deadly serious.”

Academic Bill Lind elaborated: “For the first time in our history, Americans have to be fearful of what they say, of what they write, and of what they think. They have to be afraid of using the wrong word, a word denounced as offensive or insensitive, or racist, sexist, or homophobic:” http://bit.ly/bsNr2b

The only problem with Lind’s definition and explanation of PC, which is right on the money, is that he seems to think it’s not a joke whereas it is a joke, a pathetic, sick, and pernicious joke–on common sense. It rears its ugly head in virtually every venue, from schools to legislatures, to churches and emerges on the most unexpected occasions.

A form of thought crime, another reflection of Marxist mind manipulation publicized if not created by Orwell’s Big Brother, political correctness is also the philosophical basis for such crime. Society and law enforcement agencies now presume to read the minds of accused malefactors and determine, predicated on their perceptions of an accused evildoer’s infraction of PC rules, how to treat the accused commensurately.

Perhaps the best way to illustrate the irrational senselessness of political correctness is to cite a recent, seemingly innocuous example of its implementation, enforcement, in the sports world.
