Does anyone else think that the PC (politically correct) Police are promoting a societal cultural divide? (And they don't even realize it)?

Sure
There are regular people and white trash in the world.
The difference between the two are ones of manner and mein. Gentlemen have always behaved in a civil fashion and have the good manners to not "punch down."
Then there is the ill-mannered white trash of the world. Those who use low humor and language, who are only offended when polite company insist they behave in public.
If you're offended that I've named white trash with the term white trash, then you, yourself are "politically correct." You might notice that virtually every word I used was similarly laced with a societal divide. Gentleman, Class, Behave, polite ,"low humor," etc... All are words which denote a class difference, no different from calling someone politically correct, because they no longer think that polite people use racial slurs, make monkey noises at black people, troll websites shouting white power and spouting race war nonsense. When you name people politically correct, you too are just making up a societal division, between you and us. Between people who think shouting racial epitaphs at the president is something you do to show your pride in your heritage, and the people who think this makes an ill-mannered, uncouth lout. You're so politically correct, you can't even admit your own accountability for your own hatred. Why blame other people for your "feelings?" Just admit you hate because you like hating.

There are no PC police! Conservatives are just tired of being called on their blatant racism, sexism, and miscellaneous bigotry. And aggressive liberals like Bill Maher and Sam Harris occasionally shoot their mouths off. Personally, I think complaints about "PC culture" are really a symptom of the increasing bitchiness of American culture, which seems to be related to Obama Derangement Syndrome and reality tv.

No. The asinine prejudice that came from and maintained the "societal cultural divide" is what led many intellectuals and others to take up the PC banner.

YES. We havent been this far divided in a very long time. The mere FACT that you are called a RACIST for disagreeing with a man of Color, YOUR A RACIST. What is wrong with these kids?? Are we ALL equals we are or arent. Liberals dont seem to think so. You cant say ANYTHING to a black man...your racist. Liberals treat the black community like they all cant take of themselves, well isnt that a form of racism?

Wow! you think that people who give their lives are racist assholes? The people who are creating a divide are African American. There! I said it! These people who are NOT ALL WHITE. (police) are being gunned down because people are inciting them! It's totally racist against whites and cops.

au contraire. they realize it and in fact, planned it. political correctness was invented/coined by the bolshevik communists to condition their people to censor themselves from saying anything not in agreement with their government's wishes.

Yes,
When you start calling people "African American" rather than some derogatory name; that definitely causes division.
Smh
