I speak jive.

"De movie airplane wuz not controversial when it wuz released. It wuz some delightful introspective into de intrinsic comedy arisin' fum de airline industry in de 1970s. Slap ma fro dat movie was cool yo. Even tho it was made by some beloved patriot.

that's not jive.

beloved patriot's wanna pow wow for ballin' cred. Lil' Jo trippin' on ice but we got it fo' the flip side. Mad yo's get widdit on a half a pall mall. Chill.

that is jive.

see the difference?
 
People whined about "PC" then, they whine about "PC" now. After hearing it for 30+ years it's tiring and really just as much nonsense now as it was then.

Funny how this is considered Regression. Perhaps you should consider the kind of Progress that has been made. Like, it is no longer acceptable for a Husband to beat his Wife(Cops used to ignore such things, it was considered a Domestic Affair, not Legal concern), Parents who sexually abuse their children are no longer able to hide that abuse(people simply were completely ignorant of any signs of these things occurring and Children had no avenues to speak of it), Drinking and Driving was commonplace with nary a Law opposing it. Those are just some of the Progressive things that have occurred.
 
Well I don't mean to piss you off
With things I might say
So when I try to shut my mouth
It come out anyway

So when I speak my mind
That's when we connect
Yeah but that's not
Politically correct

Your heads so filled with thought
You can't use your imagination
Like a sky so filled with stars
You can't find a constellation

Is everyone's so sensitive
With to any bad vibration?
You're so impressing
While we're regressing

'Cause I don't mean to piss you off
Things I might say
And when I try to shut my mouth
They come out anyway

There's nothing I believe in more
Then my own insignificance
So why does everybody think
My words can make a difference

I just don't have time to think up
Every social consequence
Just keep on talking
And you keep applauding

Well, I don't mean to piss you off
Things I might say
And when I try to shut my mouth
It come out anyway

And when you spoke your mind
You might be more connected
Until you say
Politically corrected

You lean a little to the left or the right but
You can only see who's on your side
Look a little like a deer in the headlights
A little blind and hypnotized

So you conform with the best of intention
Change comes from inside
And after all that's what this country was founded on
Do nothing different just fall in line

Tell me what happened to make us so afraid
You couldn't make a Mel Brooks movie today
I saw Blazing Saddles yesterday

I don't mean to piss you off
Things I might say
And when I try to shut my mouth
It come out anyway

I don't mean to piss you off
Things I might say
And when I try to shut my mouth
It come out anyway
