Don’t Pee Cee On Me

Political correctness is having its moment in the sun.

Street names are changing.

Building names are changing.

Statues of downpressor men are being toppled.

Fight songs are being challenged.

Disney rides are being challenged.

Football coaches are changing t-shirts.

And so on and so forth…

I salute the boost of public consciousness.

I also recognize the surface nature of these victories.

For instance, let’s say the NFL makes the Redskins change their name. Will the league also remove racist owners, coaches, and players from the game?

The substance of racism is woven into the American fabric. It can’t be washed out, it has to be worked out. And in its place, a new nation with more humane laws and practices must be born.

Or it’s more anguish and unrest.
