It occurs to me that we should avoid getting sucked into the vacuum of political correctness.

When you’re a kid, the pinata you’re hitting doesn’t represent anything other than an inanimate object which happens to be a bag full of candy.

The problem is that the pinata reinforces the racist vitriol and gangsta rap culture that these kids are surrounded with.

When you were a kid, hitting a pinata shaped like for example a donkey was not accompanied by donkey hate in spewed by politicians, ministers, teachers, entertainers, the media, your parents, etc. On the contrary you were likely taught to be kind to animals.

All I’m saying is that there are activists stirring up trouble, and we can choose whether to stay all mixed up in it, or recognize the trap for what it is, and get out and take a look at what’s going on.

And yes, the trap of self-deception closes its teeth upon the flesh of these activists—who go limping through their narcissistic fantasy of social justice—as tightly as it has gripped the bones of George Soros since his teenage years or before, and is that which killed Saul Alinsky before he ever knew his self inflicted error; the question is not can I figure out how to get this thing off my leg but will I ever see that while brain moves flesh only the heart’s ignition can set the turning of the cogwheels of the mind.
