Host of Good Morning America, Amy Robach, has to grovel and eat dirt because she said “colored people” on the air, during her ABC show this week (8-22-16). She says that she meant to say “people of color” and that she doesn’t normally use that other expression. It was an oopsie.
Political correctness is an amazing thing. The term “people of color” (denoting people belonging to color) has become a good term and “colored people” (denoting people who have or possess color) has become the most heinous insult, that a person has to beg forgiveness for uttering the term.
Personally, I would prefer to think of color belonging to me, rather than me belonging to color, because I am clinging to the concept that I’m still a free individual.
From the standpoint of logic, political correctness doesn’t make sense at all. This is why it’s so hard for people to adhere to the rules.
The purpose of political correctness is to dissolve local and community relationships and leave everyone with only one dependent relationship with the government.
Think of what you could be inventing, creating, and producing to help yourself and others in the time it takes you to remain cognizant of the ever changing rules of political correctness.
Washington State has been persecuting Stormans, a family owned pharmacy business, whose employees oppose dispensing the morning after pill on the grounds that it can kill humans early in development. The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a hearing of their case, leaving them with the option of complying with Washington’s coercive, totalitarian stance towards those who try to practice health care, or run a business in accordance with their consciences, or losing their livelihood.
Since 2011, when the research was published showing that Plan B doesn’t work for average sized American women (due to their size), more states have been trying to coerce the dispensing of this bogus drug. This underscores government incompetence in the field of health care. When Plan B does work, it can operate by post fertilization mechanisms – killing the early embryo, and killing is killing, ‘no matter how small’. Research shows that it doesn’t work to delay or stop ovulation during the women’s most fertile day of the cycle, (after the luteal peak). Yes, if you’re small enough for Plan B (levonorgestrel) to work, it can be an embryo killer (abortive).
Silver lining: The supremes at least didn’t rule that pharmacists in all 50 states have to dispense Plan B, which could have happened with this nutty court. The Stormans could close down and bring up a business elsewhere, if they haven’t already been drained of the financial means to do so, by the onerous, and unjust state. Unfortunately the state of Illinois, as well as the federal government are currently attempting to legislate that pharmacists must practice incompetently with respect to the dispensing of birth control to patients.
Here’s a related commentary, as well as the research pinpointing why Plan B is such a huge fail in America.
