It's called Politically Incorrect
Yeah, I address that term in the first line of my post.
Since you bring it up (again): following the afore illustrated logic "politically incorrect" would equate to "correct".

Have y'all ever allowed yourselves to recognize that stereotypes weren't just hatched up out from nowhere? Or has the white guilt trip to ethics class compromised y'all's frontal lobes completely? You know what I'm sayin?

Pattern recognition is a cruel vestige of the patriarchy. We're better than that. It's 2015.

The patriarchy carried us from the stone age to the space age. Heres hoping our happy "France" will have a patriarchical "England" when our ever so enlightened asses get shocked and awed.

I don't give money to the red cross, united way, or any of those national charity organizations. Go look at their financials, little of the money goes to helping victims.

there are some WWII vets that will claim Red Cross charged them for coffees and other sundries.
SO's grandfather told him the same thing. They even charged for blankets.

An excerpt from my Dad's book:
quote:
My group was only in Okinawa for 2 days. On September 21 at 3:00AM in the morning we
boarded a C-46 for Manila and arrived about 5:30 PM at the 29th Replacement Depot—an
embarkation processing area. We were told that on one of the planes bringing POWs from
Okinawa to Manila, the guys were sitting on the side benches and on the floor. They had taken
off and when they were over the China Sea the bomb-bay doors opened accidently and those
men that were sitting on the floor were dropped out of the plane. What a hell of a way to die
after spending all those years as a POW. I really felt sorry for them and their families. The next
day we were asked if we wanted to go into Manila. We responded 'of course' and they gave us
each a permanent pass to leave the area. We went in and out of this area many times.
After a couple of days in the processing area I saw a Red Cross truck and they had doughnuts
and coffee. I went to get some and they wanted to charge me for the coffee and doughnuts.
They were charging everyone and if you didn't pay you didn't get any doughnuts or coffee. Ever
since that time I have been down on the Red Cross. To this day I will not donate to them.
Salvation Army, yes, but not to the Red Cross. When I tell someone this they can't believe it
because they say the Red Cross has always given their food away.

That's outrageous. The FBI needs to investigate the fraud going on at the RC.
Good read. Thanks for the link.
