WestVirginiaRebel Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 The Blaze: Country singer Chely Wright took to her Facebook page on Tuesday to push back against “straight, white, Christian males” who complain that political correctness has run amok, proclaiming that these individuals appear to lack “empathy and kindness.” Wright, a Christian and a lesbian who has openly discussed how she reconciles her faith and sexuality, also said that she’d bet that these people were likely playground bullies during their younger years. “Something I’ve noticed on social media is that those who continually mock and complain that ‘political correctness is rampant and ridiculous– yada yada yada’ are most always straight, white, Christian males,” she wrote. “They’re people who’ve never had to rely on others to speak up for them to protect and correct systemic injustices that society has leveled upon them.” Wright went on to explain that the term “political correctness” emerged out of a “desperate need to aid and to render fairness and safety.” She said that when “straight, white, Christian men” speak negatively about the term, it makes them look as though they lack empathy. ________ You gotta be more empathetic, or something...
