PC Insanity

No, I am not referring to the wave of madness that grips you when your computer malfunctions but political correctness morphed from a blessed guard from the nauseating attitudes of the past to a pedantic scourge to terrify the outspoken into silence.
I am particularly referring to Diane Abbott who committed the cardinal sin of saying:-




Now this was in reply to Bim Adewunmi objecting to the lumping "the Black Community" into a homogenous whole "I do wish everyone would stop saying 'the black community' though. WHICH ONE?"

I believe Diane Abbot was only really guilty of generalization in respect of white people; ironic as that was pretty much what Bim Adewunmi was complaining about in respect of black people! To qualify as racism it should really have been pejorative - complaining about divide and rule tactics isn't really the same as calling all white people lazy, work shy or dirty. Nor is it anywhere approaching sticking on bed sheets and grabbing a rope. As a white person I am going to generalize now. White people need to cut comments like this a bit more slack because we should all still be writhing with guilt for the past for at least another 100 years.
