On the Main Page is says "You will much prefer using Conservapedia compared to Wikipedia if you want concise, clean answers free of "political correctness".
Surely "African American" is an example of "political correctness". Oughtn't this article be called Negroes? JC 08:54, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
- Sure if you want to use a loaded term. Negroes is a term many associate with racism and apartheid. Careful that the conservatism doesn't turn into outright bigotry.
- -Gasmonkey
heh wow. Just love that Christian brotherhood, snide remarks about the other side of town and all. Don't worry, Jesus still loves you.
- The term African-American is described as an example of Political correctness in that very article.
- "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;" (Genesis 15:13)

some political correctnes is important
There has to be some political correctness. Imagine if others would just start to tell about conservapedians "Idiots". Or what do you think about calling creationistst "Ignorants"? That would not be political correct, I think. But would it be wronger as you would be when calling african americans "Negroes"? So better you think about, what you are saying before others call you racists, fundamentalists,.... --Itsjustme 07:55, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
