Since long political correctnes has anchored in the US and reigns well the cultural and political scene. The mighty land of the free isn't as free as it thinks it is. The readyness to utilize the all-convincing racism as "argument" shows the downfall and declension of this society.
Paul Valéry once remarked that one who can't attack thinking, attacks the thinker. Rita Dove demonstrates and proves that fully. Embarrassing.
