Don’t label those who disagree with political correctness

I want to vent my frustrations. Is it not my right to have a difference of opinion without being called a racist, a homophobe or a sexist? People in these groups are still a minority. It seems we are not allowed to dislike or disagree with any minority group in this society. We are supposed to have open minds.

I think we are starting to lose the separation between men and women. We are created for reproductive purposes. Men can’t have babies. Only the future will tell us what this society will lead to.

Then there are people like Bill Cosby, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jackson and even the mayor of Seattle getting off or possibly getting away with crimes of rape and pedophilia because they are wealthy and can hire the best lawyers. This is very sad in this “save us from ourselves” world we live in.

We are more divided than ever in this politically correct nation!
