Political Correctness is destroying our country.
In the recent years that we have endured, we have been promised a racially egalitarian society where the color of a skin, the purpose of a prayer and the piety of a lifestyle meant no inferiority or requirement to being an American. A society where this country would ascend from the murky consequences of what the media considered it to be the “Bush Fallout” and return to the image of the Great American Melting Pot where lovely Lady Liberty would continue adding more to her book of recipes. A society where biased beliefs mean nothing to the progression of political thought and the coexistence of belief and reality would transcend to the auspicious aspects of the American Dream.
Yet with that American Dream came with a price; A price many people would be manipulated by Mr. Obama while he continues to warp the integrity of many pieties in this country, just for an extra dime in his $200,000 dollar salary. A price where many will realize that the “Bush Fallout” was considerately a forthcoming of something economically worse to come along with the strengthening of biased beliefs just to associate the general public into replacing the president in office.
What’s worse than that, with the continuing effects of Medicare and social mobility blending into the lower classes, this leads to the disruption of a fair voice lost in the bigotry of a racial stereotype.
A fine example: Trayvon Martin and his death.
This boy, who had not weapon to provoke harm with unless he wanted to provoke harm with a Bottle of Ice Tea and a Bag of Skittles, was caught in a stellar example of how this country has practically learned nothing from its Pilgrim roots and the strengthening of its Revolution to the distress within its incivil civility, only to successfully bloom during its Reconstruction.
We have come a long way from the days where the sun wouldn’t shine on Trayvon Martin or George Zimmerman but we still have a long way to go. Trayvon Martin’s death will never be forgotten in the continuing battle against Racial Profiling, along with the many unsung Trayvon Martin’s in this world; some who had more gruesome or grotesque outcome than others, but what makes this one slightly different is that his killer is of mixed race.
As a bi-racial citizen of my country, I have a right to say that because of the strong political voice we have gained in the past forty years and more importantly the four years with Bi-Racial President Barrack Obama, we are more prone to being more corrupted in one person’s bigotry and also prone to getting more sympathy from the general public because of the fact that we are a prosperous example of the benevolence of the Loving v. Virginia case back in 1967.
It appears in this country, it is considered moral to not arrest a bi-racial citizen who kills a child a part of a larger demographic than to immorally arrest that citizen who openly admits he did kill that child. It appears that politicians are more afraid than racist to arrest a bi-racial citizen of a potential hate crime because of the thought of a more heinous scenario than letting that person walk away.
Now before I wrap this up, I have a question to ask you: How would you feel if you had adopted a child from a minority and you watch his life get taken from the hands of a smaller minority? You probably wouldn’t give a swear to God about the fact that the person is a Bi-Racial citizen; all you would care about is making sure that Justice is served beyond the barrier’s of Race. Sadly in some situations, that barrier will slap you in the face faster than you can call for Justice.
And with that slap of Political Correctness, the Great American Melting Pot’s taste now becomes bittersweet.
