It could happen to just the average person. Imagine a some co-workers stopping for a drink after work. One of them has a grudge against the other and knows their views. So the conversation is prompted, recorded and ends up in Human Resources.
what you describe is where we are headed.
I can’t believe what we just witnessed. An NBA owner is being forced out of the NBA for comments in a private conversation.
He’s being forced out due to political correctness, not because of mismanaging his team, but because he “dissed”, in ghetto parlance, a recognized grievance group (blacks).
If he had made stark comments about the tea party or gun rights people or born again Christians, this would never have become a big news story, or an issue for the commissioner to deal with.
Under political correctness, there are certain grievance groups which you are not allowed to say anything about.
Blacks and homosexuals are at the top of the pyramid of such groups. Born again Christians, straight men, white men, family values groups, etc. are at the bottom of the pyramid.
that will happen. “Joe Sixpack” can get “Sterlinged” at anytime now.
There is one simple way to stop this though.
