An Open Letter To The Hypocrites Of The Politically Correct World

Do you view the world with an honest perspective?

An Open Letter To The Hypocrites Of The Politically Correct World

To the overly concerned, politically correct—

You may be racially conscious of the jokes you laugh at but when it comes to the girl “you just don’t get,” you see no issue in slamming her with a label of being “one who must have severe daddy issues.”

You think, "Oh God, you just cannot make jokes in any politically incorrect sense—it’s not funny, it’s racist, it’s wrong and honestly you just lack morality. I can’t be seen with you and I’m going to roll my eyes at the things you’re saying."

But, did you not just throw a hammer to the knees of a girl for acting in a different way than you do? Because she “acts” like a girl who comes from a broken family- and you obviously don’t? Is she less than you because your family is together, happy, and untainted? She probably doesn’t have what you have—you don’t actually know, though—she just acts like it.

You’re so easily offended. You preach tolerance as you protect those who do what you protest against. Let’s be honest, I highly doubt stumbling upon “TRUMP 2016” written in chalk on your college campus shook the entire Earth and shattered your mental stability. You can point out the flaws in others but you can’t take responsibility for your very own. Why don’t you truly evaluate what it is that you are defending?

When you make a joke “it’s funny” because those “racist republicans” aren’t compassionate enough to be considered human. You dismantle capitalism (from your capitalistic technology) because it “doesn’t value basic human rights” as you fail to acknowledge the gruesome reality of communist China’s child labor. Don’t forget—the countries of socialism, communism, and dictation often face censorship. You were raped? Can’t talk about it. You want to read a book about American government? Can’t buy it.

Oh, but let’s not forget women’s rights. As a woman, I find it unbearably difficult to defend any group that degrades women. Republican women are often scrutinized for abandoning the fight and struggle for their own gender’s equality.

Ha.

Because I refuse to support Hillary Clinton, a criminal who lacks honesty and ownership—I’m just simply “not a true woman?” I would love a woman president. Though, that woman needs to exemplify what it means to be a great woman—an honest, independent, hard worker, who didn’t, in fact, capitalize on another man’s success.

More than that, you defend the cultures many “discriminate” against. As a woman, I’m not going to be told what to wear, what I can say, what I’m allowed to do professionally, where I’m allowed to go outside of my own home, nor will I be denied a right to education. I won’t be told I cannot drive and I most certainly will not allow my husband to have multiple wives. Can you truly say I’m "intolerant" because I disagree with the values of many in the Middle East? If you weren’t aware, that is what women deal with over there. As I choose to acknowledge the facts of these issues, I refuse to accept the label of being “racist.”

You argue to argue and allow your political correctness to censor you from reality. Tolerance cannot be one-sided. The hypocrisy you exude is your very flaw. While you ask your opponents to see the bigger picture, I challenge you to open your own eyes a little bit wider.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
