There must be institutional racism or blacks wouldn't be in the state they're in. Look at black neighborhoods, they're poor. Then look at how many black men are in jail and black moms are single. It's so obvious that it has something to do with slavery first of all, and racism in the institutions and everywhere else. Seriously, I had an asian manager tell me to follow the blacks in the store and he was also sexually harassing me as well. This happens daily in USA. So, the the black men who are currently in jail are there because of slavery, and the black women who are currently single moms are that way because of slavery. Now that is what I call "faulty reasoning". The slavery is the way blacks were introduced to America. Only racists can ignore this and all other ways in which blacks have always been mistreated by the system in America up until this very day. Slavery was abolished, great, but the system still fails to allow blacks to enjoy what America promises to offer to all Americans; Freedom, Equality, and Justice. The justice system is broken and the government is corrupt. The USA has more inmates than any country in the world.

So let me get this straight ... Muslims can spew hatred at Jews, the West, Christians, in any way they see fit and that's ok because of freedom of speech. Blacks can sing about NI******* killing cops and whiteys and spew hatred to the infinite degree because of freedom of speech. But frat kids, singing an off color frat song which is supposed to be funny by being as offensive as possible should have their lives ruined for not being politically correct? Political Correctness is ruining this country, but I guess that is what it is supposed to do. It makes me sick.

Political correctness is not what's ruining the country. It's the system itself that is broken, political correctness is just trying to overcompensate for the real problems.

I think most people on this website have shown they would only defend the plight of the middle to upper class white male and possibly his counterpart female but only in as much as she exists to serve his desires. I don't get along with that too much.
