I've come to own the labels, much as niggers have owned the word "nigger" by referring to themselves as such.

Since the world Muslim congress awarded Charlie Hebdo "Islamophobe of the Year" AFTER the terrible religious motivated terror attack, I am a proud islamophobe! Je suis Charlie!
Political correctness has turned lots of people into safe-place-seeking pansies. Everyone can conjure their own protected class and then cry foul when people don't include them or make special rules for them.
The rest of the stuff just dilutes the brain and makes social recourse meaningless unless its the "right things" to say.

I personally do not accept any labels now. I know the labels are screamed out to silence peoples views and ideas. I have thought about it some time. If I am in a room with a black and a whiter human, and both of them smell and act like shit, believe me when I say color has nothing to do with my decision not to want to be around either of them, you can smell the truth. Further more, when a black person calls another black person racist due to their views, it should be obvious, they are full of shit. So, Yes, very much so.

It's become a badge of honor, especially when you look at the quality of the people who jump to labeling and name calling upon reaching a disagreement or being challenged in any way. I get more than a little angry when I think about the effect people like this have had on my development and understanding of the world while growing up.
