How did America get so Politically Correct?

Can anyone tell me, exactly when did this whole political correctness mess get started? Who started it? Why was it even considered, much less enforced? I am going to guess here, but I have a feeling it got started in the seventies, just after the “civil rights” era, during that time that everyone was feeling guilty. Now, don’t get me wrong, the white man was guilty of a lot of things back then, hey, you should have heard the way people used to speak back then, I was 8 years old in 1970, I heard it. I didn’t understand that the use of certain, now forbidden, words, could possibly be a bad thing, after all, I also grew up hearing “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me”, so, somehow, I missed the whole thing!
Since this ‘politically correct’ movement took hold, things have changed! I can see where it is not nice to use certain words, but, I grew up being taught that it was the feeling behind the words that was wrong, not the words themselves, after all, sticks and stones…. Anyway, do you get my point?
Today, almost 40 years later, things have really changed! Now, it is alright for any race to use “white” in a duragatory manner, when referring to race, but it is not alright for a white guy to use any term that can be construed to be “hate” speach when referring to race, and God forbid, if you are a hetero-sexual white guy, you just cannot say anything at all about anything or you get called a bigot! By the way, when have you ever heard that word to describe anyone, other than a white guy? here is what the dictionary says;
One who is strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
Based on this definition of bigot, I have to admit, I am one! Yes, and my group is, “human beings”, yeah, aliens (yeah, like non-humans, from another planet!) suck! You know, they are green, purple or some other color, have tenticles, they dress funny and they smell bad! (based on movies like men in Black) Can you see where I am headed?
How many generations will go by, before it is no longer politically correct to say what I have just written? Surely, some alien is going to show up and be offended! If I say, “you stupid, green, smelly son of a female dog”, referring to a ‘non-human’ alien, there is no one here to take offense, and I am sure that unless they conquer us, thus proving real hate, there will be many that say even worse, think about this, and should this ever happen, how long before the PC police ban the use of the word alien altogether? Will we humans, be subjected to a one way restriction on “hate” speech, like us hetero white guys are now? Have you noticed, I am having to qualify the word alien with ‘non-human’, when I use this word? How far will the PC police go?
Here we are in 2009 and I am writing this, if such a concept could have ever even been imaginable, what would the people a few hundred years ago have written? I know that my father’s generation never saw it coming!
Here is where my whole point comes out, are you familiar with Perez Hilton? You know, that gay (no, not happy) guy, that called Miss California several not nice words, I guess I should say ex-Miss California. Funny, this guy, or gal, or whatever it is, somehow was put on a panel to judge a beauty contest, how would he, she, or it, even know what a beautiful woman was supposed to be like anyway? (I could have made this a lot shorter with just one little F word, couldnt I?) Anyway, did you hear what happened? He, she. it. or whatever, called a dude from The Black eyed Peas a fag and got his ass kicked, or at least he, she, it says he. she, it, did. I don’t know what started it, but I know this, if that Perez Hilton would have gotten into it with some people, he would have at least had a mark or two on his face while he cried on that video like a little girl that just had her pony tail yanked by a mean little boy in school! Maybe it was karma? I guess it was a really good thing he didn’t call him a white guy!
Personally, I agree with the ex-Miss California!
Somehow, I feel this Political Correctness crap has just gotten out of hand!
I just found a video on political correctness, I didn’t watch it, so, if it is something crazy, tough, complain to those that made it!
Wow, just watched it, I had to go find the other parts of this, they are found below.
I believe there are only three parts, so, here is the last one, enjoy!

Hey, count me in! Read this post at MichelleMalkin.com, I am still in shock that the very people that were complaining about how much money Bush spent, just spent even more! I agree that Bush spent way too much, but Porkulus is ridiculous! We the People have been duped again! It is time that we stand up and are heard! NO MORE SPENDING! As is stated on MichelleMalkin.com
There should be one of these in every town in America.
I live in Somerville, Texas, if anyone knows of a protest like this nearby, let me know! Not being a lefty, protests and such are a bit out of my normal way of thinking, but hey, maybe it is time for the rest of us to be heard! Maybe it is time for another Boston Tea Party?
Hey, I wouldn’t be so upset, if Obama had done as he said, and posted it for people to read, 5 days before the vote! Instead, not even the idiots that voted got to read it! Can you imagine signing up for anything without reading it? Sorry, I can’t!
UPDATE: Here is a link to the Video of the protest!

Barack Obama: “I can no more disown him, than I can the Black Community” This tells us more than his words! You do not join a football team, if you do not like football!

I just really can’t believe I heard what I heard! Barack Obama talked, but he didn’t say anything! All he did was try to glamorize the hatred that his church and according to him, that the black community feels! “I can no more disown him, than I can the Black Community”, that is the quote that stands out, this is the quote that bothers me. His speech today was as his speeches always are, very eloquent, yet empty. I think that a post HotAir.com puts it best:
Finally, Barack Obama sounds like a true politician! My feelings are this, I could never believe that ALL people in the black community, nationwide, could agree with the hatred espoused by that church! Again, read this post on Sweetness-Light.com with this in mind, do you honestly believe that “The Media” is picking on Reverend Wright for a few “out of context” remarks? Read more
