I’m now genuinely tired of talking about race and sexuality.

"The fact that he was Puerto Rican had nothing to do with it."

But....he didn't 'look' Puerto Rican.

Conservatives have to be especially careful in this regard.

Why? We will be branded as racist in any event, even by semi-conservative FOX News contributors.

Libs can spew any vile diatribe about any filthy, racist, homophobic TEA bagger, and it's OK, but let a semi-neutral talking head like Kelly, say anything, no matter how innocuous, and she has an entire column written about it {by a friend?}.

But one thing we can say for sure: The fact that he was Puerto Rican had nothing to do with it.

How exactly can we say that for sure?

Maybe he thought he was strking a blow for oppressed Puerto Ricans everywhere.

I blasted Megy pretty good yesterday over her refusal to name to shooter. But it had NOTHING to do with his race. She claimed she doesn't name the killers in order to not give them the recognition or fame. So. This article is based on a false premise.

What’s race got to do with it? I’m not sure, since “Hispanic” is not a race. But as for identifying the name as Hispanic, it’s clearly a matter of what it’s not, a Muslim name, which is what people wanted to know. Anyone with a IQ above room temperature who’s not obsessed with political correctness would understand that, Linda.

ethnicity has become FAR too much of any story, a black man did this, a white woman shoplifted, a hispanic smoked a joint....who cares, and why have people become so enamored with race. At the drop of a hat, people will accuse others of being racist.....well, we are all racist to one extent or another but to accuse virtually every move a person makes as being racist is nonsense. I don’t like Obama because of his policies and methods....I wouldn’t like him if he was white, yellow, red, or whatever!

This is why “we can’t have an honest conversation” about ANYTHING! The PC police go bonkers if anyone talks about any demographic group that our government and liberals have defined.

“Conservatives have to be especially careful in this regard”

I am tired of being told that I constantly have to walk on eggshells and bend over backwards to avoid saying anything that may ever be interpreted as not politically correct. I am tired of people who are so anxious to be able to present themselves as victims that they twist everything around and try to present it as racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. and supposedly the burden is on the honest person to defend himself or herself.

All this political correctness and victimhood is just a dishonest attempt to bully good people and make them afraid to speak the truth.

We should not worry about being "especially careful". We should confront these lying professional victims forcefully whenever they accuse us of being racist or whatever else they can dream up.

Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew living in what is now Israel and likely looked more like El Greco's depiction of a dark-haired, dark-skinned Semite than Holbein's fair-haired Northern European.

Linda Chavez, we don't know that. Imho, Linda is really reaching for an excuse to criticize Megan.
