What is meant by the modern term referred to as 'POLITICAL CORRECTNESS'?


Allegedly...........

.
The definition is found in four telegrams at the Truman Library and Museum in Independence, Missouri. The following are copies of four telegrams between President Harry Truman and Gen Douglas MacArthur on the day before the actual signing of the WWII Surrender Agreement in September 1945.. The contents of those four telegrams below are exactly as received at the end of the war - not a word has been added or deleted!




(1) Tokyo, Japan
0800-September 1,1945
To: President Harry S Truman
From: General D A MacArthur
Tomorrow we meet with those yellow-bellied bastards and sign the Surrender Documents, any last minute instructions?

(2) Washington, D C
1300-September 1, 1945
To: D A MacArthur
From: H S Truman
Congratulations, job well done, but you must tone down your obvious dislike of the Japanese when discussing the terms of the surrender with the press, because some of your remarks are fundamentally not politically correct!

(3) Tokyo, Japan
1630-September 1, 1945
To: H S Truman
From: D A MacArthur and C H Nimitz
Wilco Sir, but both Chester and I are somewhat confused, exactly what does the term politically correct mean?

(4) Washington, D C
2120-September 1, 1945
To: D A MacArthur/C H Nimitz
From: H S Truman
Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainst ream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!


Now, with special thanks to the Truman Museum and Harry himself, you and I finally have a full understanding of what 'POLITICAL CORRECTNESS' really means.....

As an exercise in pure fiction there is little better than a job description. If it should mention the remuneration then take that as being as reliable as Momte Carlo.

Thanks Supercrutch

It's not so much annoying as just childish as I've done nothing to warrant this...unless I'm REALLY thick and totally missing the point. Yes I "argue" with a few on here but as adults it should be fine.......should be.........oh well :-D

This happened to me a few years ago, constant reporting.

GR actually did something about it and warned the malicious poster that their continual RRing would not be tolerated if they wished to remain a member.

Keep complaining ;-)

Oh never thought of that...well it came from Readers Digest and they're well known for being controversial at the best of times :-D
