I was using a relevance (wrong word) that is front of me right now. You are right about the other. I remember there being quite an uproar over Farrakan's remarks, but it may have been where I was looking. From what I have read, he has not toned it down. As for me, I stay away from the terms PC and unPC, have since I first heard it in the early 80's. For every person that said I was unPC, there was another that said I was PC. I just had opinions and ideas. But I understand what you are saying about some folks shying away from an issue to placate a group or person. Though I remember an uproar, I remember folks doing a lot of shying away, as well.

I think what you are talking about is a phenomenon mostly associated with the rather virulent group-think of Farrakhan. His power seems to be on the wane thank goodness. I would hope most blacks remember that many Jewish organizations, lawyers and workers helped during the Civil Rights movement. Jewish donors gave a great deal of money to advance civil rights causes. Farrakhan's attraction would HAVE to be to the ignorant because the stuff he spouts is such hog wash. He is every bit as hateful and nasty as any Grand Dragon of the KKK.
