Is microaggression a new thing? Seen it twice in two days after never hearing of it before.

They’ve been pushin’ it hard for about a year now.

“Microagression “ is so small and insignificant that only the perpetually aggrieved who are committed to finding it can actually see it.

Micro-aggression is the new liberal buzz word. They are constantly striving to think up new terms to signify their dissatisfaction with America.

It’s the latest buzzword among the race-baiters. I first read about it a couple of months ago in a National Post article about McGill University disciplining a student for the “act of racial microaggression” after he posted an Obama joke online. I’d link the article but it’s behind a paywall.

Wikipedia has a pretty good definition at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microaggression

Microaggression is a term coined in the 1970s by Chester Pierce, an African-American psychiatrist at Harvard. It's been one of the main areas of psychiatric research since around 2007.

Somewhere, I have a link to a microaggression site that's been around for several years. As you scroll down, bubbles pop up with complaints of microaggression.

There aren't enough facepalm photos on the Internet to read that website for five minutes.
