Exposing the hypocrisy of Political Correctness

The view of PC that is becoming clear to many people across America is that it has become a tool for small radical portions of otherwise legitimate groups to silence the majority. Guess what? The PC movement is starting to lose its effectiveness as Americans begin to realize it's effects are destructive and it is being used for non-productive purposes.
 The intent (in public view) is to show that PC is used to protect the feelings of others but in actuality the people who are supposed to be protected are getting even more angry because it seems to generate a sense of righteous indignation. In other words, it encourages the feeling of being mistreated. The vast majority of people that are targeted as “Politically Incorrect” are getting alienated and afraid to talk about many things for the fear of persecution. Many people are saying that this is backwards, counter-productive, morally wrong and unconstitutional. 
 It's backwards because some are using an otherwise conscientious concept (respect for the feelings of people) as a tool to degrade others.
 It's counterproductive because it divides people. 
 It's morally wrong because good people who want to discuss issues with the intent of repairing them are being accused of unethical behavior.
 It's unconstitutional because it is being used to stifle the free speech of some while it embolds the free speech of others.

Is someone homophobic if they shine a light on the small minority of gay radicals that are destroying the credibility of the vast majority of the gay community with acts of hate?
 Is someone racist if they point out the large number of black on black murders amidst the current cop bashing trend?
 Is a legal immigrant intolerant if he or she prefers other immigrants follow legal procedures when entering America?
 Is it sexist to like when your wife makes you dinner?
 PC critics say, that the hypocrisy is built-in although cloaked in wholesome goodness. 
 There is a difference between “Political Correctness” and respect for others. It would seem that people who aim to be respectful, approach a situation without insulting others while still being able to make their point and engage in a thoughtful discussion. Political Correctness takes the ability to speak one’s mind away because of its inherent negative or shameful representation of the person if their opinion does not agree with the group in question. The effects of PC will eventually affect everyone. Even those who now find it a useful tool. Once it is embraced by all, it will be used by all. Consider the effects. Be careful what you wish for because if we implement such a societal rule it will metastasize into a monster that will be impossible to get out from underneath.
 So although-on its face-PC would appear to be a noble gesture, its effects only make avoiding real situations much easier and alienating good people more common. If we truly want to repair some of the rifts we have in our society, I ask you “How is not being able to talk about them bringing us to any resolve?”

 Now watch hypocrisy rear its ugly head as the PC police react to this unfavorable view of a fabricated tool that is being used for all the wrong reasons.
