RE: Trump Denies Being Racist After Years of Racist Comments [dTube]
Nowadays almost everything someone could say 30 years ago without a problem has become "Racist" or "Hate Speech". Even a merely low brow comment from a daft person is enraging the thought and speech police.
As an older person you find yourself as a villain for only saying the same stuff which was perfectly normal or funny when you were a kid. Brave New World.
that's one way to look at it. or, we're realizing that the US has a long history of treating people poorly and we're trying to do better now.
Agreed. I am asking myself though...a lot of division and hate is also produced because of it. And people are starting to go to jail or lose their likelihood just for saying dumb things. We can always improve, but sometimes it appears as if politically correct speech is being used as a weapon. Just the two cents from the perspective of an old person who used to be an avid liberal and finds himself now in a different drawer 🙂
