You know if I could pick a word to sum up the past week..I would choose "ignorance". I have had it up to here (points to eyebrows) with people and their predjudices.
Last week I ran into a man not once but twice who reportedly hates women. Since he is a position of power..people take his shit and don't say anything about it. Um...if you thought I'd take his shit and not say anything..you got the wrong girl. I did say something. I made my point heard...but alas did not get an apology from the mysogonist pig before he ran and told on me.
I hate men like him. It may be the feminist in me that bristles when I sense a man talking down to me..like I'm stupid or I got an IQ of 50. I didn't graduate whatever Cum Laude from Duke University but that doesn't make the shithead better than me.
I'll run into him again tomorrow so I'm on the ready. Wanna make this into a "hostile environment" thingy? Go ahead. Make my day.
And then today...man. I left where I was today blushing to the very tips of my toes. And I wasn't even the one who did anything wrong. However..I was a white person among 6 other white people when this happened. I feel guilty by association.
I think I have to say something to the boss of this guy that made this comment. He was referring to some work that had been done and very nonchallantly said it had been "n-rigged". Yes..the dude said the full n word. No it was not loudly. Yes it was said..and I'm pretty sure the oaf that uttered the phrase wasn't even thinking about the filth that just fell from his lips. And obviously..he was embarassed that it became evident to my co-worker that he was just as racist as some of the other people at work.
I was APPALLED. He fell under my radar for the last 6 months. I knew a few of his co-horts were of that ilk that felt there was a difference between black folks and the folks they think are the "n" word. They always try to add on and say that that there are honkies and crackers and hoosiers and it gets worse from there and it is implied there is a difference between them all.
I wonder..why can't people be people? If you want to describe a person why not describe how tall they are or how funny they are or DUH, the correct way to identify a person of a particular race? Why must people be compelled to spurt out such evil MUNG and smile when they say it? I will never understand that.
Yes..I grew up in a racist family and NO I am NOT racist. I'm sorry..there are enough people to hate in my life and I'm too busy hating a particular few. I don't have the time nor energy to hate an entire race because of some evil shit my ancestors said about them to make them look bad and to make their lily-white asses to look better.
I swear to god..the next person that attempts to differientiate between black folks and the n word....hispanics and that slang, Jews and that word..I'll bitch slap their ass.
I wonder..what the hell so wonderful about being white? I mean..besides the hype. I think people should just be defined by the person they are. Not the color of their skin. Not their religion.
The white supremacy pigs would have you believe that white people are genetically proven to be better than black folks. Well..they shouldn't sit back on their laurels and rest..because as far as I can see people from most foreign countries are smarter and more successful than most of us.
I'm just saying.
Being white doesn't make you better than anyone else. Being black doesn't make you any better either. Nothing makes us better than the other. We are all just people who deserve respect, love and a fair shake.
One of these dudes that tried to tell me that there was a difference implied that these "people are lazy" and live off the government.
I know from personal experience of people living off the government and have for years and surprise, most of them are white and supposedly "entitled" because of their whiteness. I call bullshit.
Don't you dare say ONE race lives off the government and you as a white person do the same DAMN thing only in your case it is okay.
Poor people are poor. I don't really give two shits what people do with their assistance as long as their kids are fed and clothed and healthy. If you want to buy Nikes (I buy them at Marshall's, where they are CHEAP) for your kids..I don't care.
I get sick and tired of people judging others for the exact same thing they're doing. Turn the pointing finger around and look at yourself, for criminy.
Get real.
