    I would say that is in the realm of the exact opposite of political correctness. It is also just totally bizarre, lol.
    But the million dollar question is, male or female ;) Really though, this just shows how ridiculous descriptions are and how they really don't help anyone identify a suspect. The picture speaks for itself, other than that go ahead and give the vehicle and last known clothing, but again very vague and each on their own is meaningless unless the totality of the description is met with it and rarely do people factor then in. It's more like, oh, I saw a black man driving a Ford, must have been the suspect. I get the intent of the full description, but people end of picking out a few of the descriptors to base their suspicion on and it creates unnecessary fear and a waste of time to police taking calls on false identifications.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    He fears elimination of the white race and he's shown his true colors repeatedly on these forums. Why are you surprised?

    Honestly...

    He fears something, but I'm not so convinced it's what you say.

    I've had my share of go-rounds with Unsung and, even though we rarely agree, I'm of the opinion he's more decent than the credit he's been given lately.

    Don't worry, apparently only white people are not able to claim to be proud of their culture and identity.  That was my entire point, that I don't want to subsidize my own demise.

    Some here decide to interpret it how they will.  It is easier to call someone a name over having a debate.  But it doesn't matter anymore.

    I know what you are typically getting at, Unsung.

    I won't be apologizing for my existence either, but that's not to say I won't freely and unapologetically admit the errors of my race either- they're grievous.

    No disputing that, but I didn't do it.  So I am not taking blame for it either.

    What name have I called you or have you been called? Care to defend your "I fear the elimination of the white race" or your white identity in a reasoned debate? We're waiting for you to explain yourself. It's okay, you're in a safe zone.

    So Italians aren't proud of their culture? Irish? French? You don't see whites in the US celebrate their ethnicity?

    There is no such thing as "white people culture". And "white people identity" tends to only be used in a white supremacy sense.

    Culture relates to much smaller units, such as countries or regions or practices. There is nothing meaningful that binds white people from Norway to white people from Argentina.

    But it's the "subsidize my own demise" point that Halifax was getting at.
