We live in a politically correct world now.
Any statements which can be perceived as disrespectful to officially recognized grievance groups, such as blacks and homosexuals, will make one a target for destruction.
One will not just be condemned for racist or bigoted statements, one will also be targeted for destruction.
Paula Deen, the guy from Mozilla who contributed to Proposition 8, the guy from Chick Fill A, and now Donald Sterling, can all tell us about being targeted for destruction and banishment from society.
It’s no longer enough for the politically correct crowd to condemn statements or actions of those with whom they disagree. It’s no longer enough for them to try to persuade us that what all of these people did was bad. Instead, we now want to see these people driven out of business and their lives destroyed.
“ain’t that America”
where a man can be divested of liberty and property for words.
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.
