"Dirty Harry" On Political Correctness

[TrainTrac]

Yes, sadly we've become a society where everyone's a "victim" of some kind or another, or is "offended" if you look at them cross-eyed, let alone say anything to them. Heck, by today's ridiculous PC standards, classic Looney Tunes and Disney cartoons are very un-PC. But, if you put them in the context of their era, and also consider that fact that they didn't actually intend to hurt or offend anyone, there's nothing wrong with them. The whole "how things are perceived" way of looking at things has gotten way out of control. Folks just need to take a deep breath, and look at the actual intent of a statement or whatever, not how it's perceived.



And sadly, this is exactly why Disney will never release "Song of the South" from the vault to theaters or DVD. By today's standards, it's considered a racist movie. Is it really? I don't believe so.



Now, as far as "Blazing Saddles" goes, a timeless classic!



How 'bout some more beans, Mr. Taggart?:lol:

Maybe in 50 yrs, all the non/american born, all the east indians and pakastanis, all of the tens of millions of asians, all of the non-legal hispanics, will realize that they actually live in a country that was once was called the United states.

maybe than the PC thing will go away.

we are no longer a country comprised of Americans

we are a land mass comprised of people that left there native lands, for the so called good life.

how many billions are being spent on people that are not americans, never wanted to be, never will be.

Be American, buy American, or go back to where you came from, we do not need you.

And I am american, born, bred, an raised. in America, and proud of it
