From Harry S. Truman himself.........

For the last six odd years, almost all of the things I wanted to write or say, have been stymied by a recently coined term referred to as "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS"! Although I consider myself rather fluent in the English language, that term was not in my vocabulary. My curiosity got the best of me and I decided to do a little research and after two weeks of chasing fruitless leads, I found what I'd been looking for at the Truman Library and Museum in Independence Missouri. A unnamed source there sent me copies of four telegrams that were between Harry Truman and Douglas MacArthur on the day before the actual signing of the Surrender Agreement. The contents of those four telegrams below are exactly as received, not a word has been added or deleted!


(1) Tokyo,Japan
0800-September 1,1945
To: President Harry S Truman
From: General D A MacArthur
Tomorrow we meet with those yellow bellied ######## and sign the Surrender Documents, any last minute instructions!


(2) Washington, D C
1300-September 1, 1945
To: D A MacArthur
From: H S Truman
Congratulations, job well done, but you must tone down your obvious dislike of the Japanese when discussing the terms of the surrender with the press, because some of your remarks are fundamentally not politically correct!


(3) Tokyo, Japan
1630-September 1, 1945
To: H S Truman
From: D A MacArthur and C H Nimitz
Wilco Sir, but both Chester and I are somewhat confused, exactly what does the term politically correct mean?


(4) Washington, D C
2120-September 1, 1945
To: D A MacArthur/C H Nimitz
From: H S Truman
Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of #### by the clean end!

Snopes.com says it ain't necessarily so . . .

But, it's still a great story and spot on!



Go, Tigers!

I liked the story as well, but it was obviously BS when I read it.

If it has anything to do with the Confederate flag, Black guys, beautiful White women, and "Can't touch this" - then I expect someone will be pizzed enough to delete the post.

But - that's just my guess based on previous posts that got deleted immediately. You might find a different answer in your search. I expect a full report upon my return. :)

Where's my popcorn? Dis gonna be goot.

Maybe one day the greatest country in the world will look at it's citizens and see them as individuals. Regardless of the pigmentation of their skin. Time for us to be Americans, not black,white, hispanic,Latino,Asian,etc.This is 2015 not 1955. God blessed you all and may heaven smile upon.
