Political Correctness

Walking down the street, you see a gorgeous black woman walking toward you.  She is well dressed, slightly urban, classy and hot.  She walks with a confidence that makes clear she knows and embraces all that she is.


You smile as you pass.  An innocent smile, just acknowledging that you appreciate her.


Suddenly the whole world comes down on you.  You are branded a filthy, sexist pig.  If you were nominated for a Supreme Court vacancy, you would be toast.


The next day you are walking down the street, you see a gorgeous black woman walking toward you.  She is well dressed, slightly urban, classy and hot.  She walks with a confidence that makes clear she knows and embraces all that she is.


Quickly you cross to the other side of the street.  You  lower your head and avert eye contact as you pass.


Suddenly the whole world comes down on you.  You are a racist, white supremacist for not acknowledging her presence and validating her existence.  If you were nominated for a Supreme Court vacancy, you would be toast.


Damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.
