"They can't make that movie today because everybody's so politically correct. You know, the NAACP would stop a great movie that would do such a great service to black people because of the N-word," says Brooks. "You've got to really examine these things and see what's right and what's wrong. Politically correct is absolutely wrong. Because it inhibits the freedom of thought. I'm so lucky that they weren't so strong then and that the people that let things happen on the screen weren't so powerful then. I was very lucky."

Blazing Saddles recently turned 40. It's sad that this movie could never be made today. Even scientific research is (self) censored to make it non-controversial and PC. I don't watch much TV right now, but I bet the quote above never made it into the media coverage ...

It's sad, but not unexpected. I mean, seriously, it's just a guise to further homogenize western society so that one day, any form of contest to a public, political, or popular opinion will label you as a bigot, further inhibiting progress.

 

It's all about maintaining the status quo. Too much advancement too fast would cause western governments to collapse due to their slow and corrupt nature. That's seriously why we don't have what we think we should have in 2014.

The PC police are getting out of control. I agree. Worse every year.
