- stupid shit like that i say this. There is a false since of freedom of speech
- that has existed in this country even before PC was even thought about on the
- national level. Since when have people with a theme or thought that didnt
- represent the views of main stream white america been able to speek,act
- or do anything without facing the same scrutiny that is now placed on
- alot of you non-pc people out there. How many gays have been bashed?
- How many people have been beaten, shot killed and tortured for speaking
- out against racism? All you people that are turning your backs on PC
- need to realize that if there was equality in every aspect of our society
- there would be no need for PC. PC is just a small step in the evolution
- of this society. People are out for change. People of all kinds are out to
- put a fucking end to this social ignorance that infects, affects, and retards
- this country. There are only 2 types of change; 1. Evolution, 2.Revolution.
- Any close - minded, indifferent, conservative asshole can call me a communist.
- Thats the easy way out. Any body with open eyes can see that this country
- needs a big assed adjustment. As the consciousness of this country rises
- the socially igonrant as well as the culturally indifferent will feel more
- and more pressure. This post isn't directed to any one person its directed
- to anyone who is foolish enough to think that this country is as good as it
- should be to its people. Its also directed to anyone who thinks that
- he was ever free enough to do or say whatever he wanted to do in this country
- regardless of who he offended. Igonrance is not bliss.
