Like you , I have had enough of Leftist PC demands, university elitism, every liberal speciality group like the Black, Red, Yellow,Brown Caucuses, every Civil Rights made-up groups hemming and hawing about how America is just Fascist, and even government affirmative action and PC legislation which would include a hate crime in the designation of so called gay bashing if a church did not hire such a homosexual. Enough is enough. But, unless we have students, other conservprofs, writers, and especially brave pols speaking out against PC nonsense, the courts under lefty administrative rule will hem in our freedoms one by one all in the name of Political Correctness.
Ever stop to think how young girls might be processing all this negativity towards white males? If you're growing up as a pre-teen or teenage girl and all see you see on TV are a bunch of clueless, sniveling, limpwristed, masochistic white guys how might a young lady want to treat a boyfriend or future husband?......with contempt, lack of repsect, wariness, etc.? You have to realize that in todays world TV, movies, etc. IS reality to a lot of impressionable young people.
just like in the movies, in real life, there are bad guys as well as good. personally, i think its just as hurtful that as they grow up thinking about some of the "good" guys, and expecting to find guys like that. movies and TV don't show "normal" people anymore.
Do away with all the "Indian" names for teams, then watch them cry "We are not represented".

Don't forget to add Conservative and Patriotic to your list. With those, you have nearly a free pass from the Left and the PC Police to bash, slam, denigrate, slander and otherwise mistreat at will.
Are these people demented enough to be perpetrating a pre-emptive stike on the next generation of young white males so that when Pres. Hillary and her refugees from the bar scene in Star Wars are done with them they'll be nothing more than a bunch of useless eater sperm donors?
You and most of the other posters nailed it all down pretty well.
HOWEVER,if push comes to shove,I still say I would rather be a "heterosexual,Christian white male"in America than a black guy from the hood.
Sure,they make fun of us in the media and play up black culture as being cool and hip.
Yet when you are in the trenches day after day you see how in reality how very fragile these cool and hip black images are.
Because in reality blacks,especially YOUNG blacks,are in a lot of PAIN and all the jive posturing and masking they do cannot hide that cold reality.
BTTT
Once, black kids heard epithets and were discriminated against. Teacher put a stop to that; she taught the kids it was wrong. Today, white kids get put down for being white, and teacher says that's OK.
Either racism is wrong or it isn't. Can't have it both ways.
Black guys have lower body fat (body fat gives buouyancy) than white guys. Swimming is harder when you sink.
Black people in America today are very racist. When a white person even mentions race, he/she is called a racist. Blacks can even say words that are strictly forbidden to whites. Soon, it may be forbidden for whites to speak to or about blacks at all.
A brave new world.
Yes, but why is it that all the people hate what White America stands for, risk their lives to come here, then want to change it to what they fled? I have read the rules here on "FR" so I don't dare give my true thoughts.
The only Caucasians I know are from Armenia and Georgia. I aint from the caucausus mountains. What's wrong with just plain "white."
Most blacks didn't have a choice in coming here, though many in New York and Florida did (both states being centers of Carribean immigration). Most Indians, Chinese, Colombians (many of whom are white), and even Mexicans and Central Americans do not bear the same amount of hostility towards "whites" as blacks do.
It wasn't a preposition, it was part of a phrasal verb.

"What's wrong with just plain "white.""
I dunno. That's what we are asking here. ;)
I appreciate your thoughts...I'm just surprised that with all that alleged "creativity" out there in the advertising world, bashing any demographic is the best way to get through to people.
I clicked on to your link and the following makes me realize just how much I have forgtten over the years.
"Some particles can be separated from the verb so that a noun and pronoun can be inserted, and some particles can't be separated from the verb. In addition, some phrases are intransitive, meaning they cannot take a direct object."
Just reading that made me want to take a direct object and smack somebody with it.
(Just another DWG on grammar patrol.)
Forget the grammar, I'm on the lookout for misspelled words.
