First of all, racism is bullshit; racism didn't make us, we made racism. And now the word is so embedded in our vocabulary that whenever we dislike what someone has to say we call them racist! What I find funny about the entire deal is, anyone group of people who dislike a comment referencing their ethnicity or nationality will make claims that they're enduring racial discrimination and that they aren't being considered as humans beings. But that same group could care less about who's discriminating against them-they just don't like being made to look bad. Let's take the black against white, white against black racism (or whatever we shall call it) as an example. Many black people have excuses as to why whites are evil. They claim white people can't understand what it's like to walk into a place and be stared down by security because of their skin color. Blacks say whites have it easier, and that they're hardships are nothing compared to what they endure as colored people. And I partially agree with some of those statements just because you can never completely understand what someone has gone through you go through it in their shoes. However, I doubt white people give a damn about those hardships when they're made to look like inhumane vultures. You know, I highly doubt white people are waking up every morning having a cup of tea saying, "hmm, I wonder what that black girl from the supermarket is going through". I just don't think it's happening. Just like I don't think black people are waking up asking themselves what struggles white people might be facing. Because both groups could give a dime about the other groups' struggles.
It's very selfish, yet very true.
It's also ironic the way everyone likes to victimize themselves in such a chaotic manner when they're feelings are hurt; yet no one is thinking of the other side of the table. Poor people (and I do mean poor) who are living on welfare and dining on food stamps consistently complain about the rich getting richer and they play the poor me card. And then since those poor people can't provide for their children, people with more money are made to look evil and inconsiderate. But I wonder, does anyone ever think of how inconsiderate it is the way people come to the US and suck on it's resources like leeches and do nothing more for themselves? Honestly, I can list so many people who come to the US and intentionally reproduce because they know section 8 and food stamps will take care of it.
It takes inconsiderate to know inconsiderate.
It just beats me the way we choose to justify our negative actions. When in reality, we allow ourselves to stoop into these stereotypical, racial barriers. Black people want to see more blacks being praised for their contributions to the progression of this world. Well then more black people should get up and do more things to help move our world in a positive and light direction. Sitting down blaming the white man for your troubles will get you nowhere. Hispanics don't want to be associated with land work, Indians don't want to be associated with 7 Eleven, the list goes on ...yet so many people in those groups go to that 7 Eleven and apply for that job, or go to someone's house and mow their lawn.
Appear better to feel better because that is the way the cookie is baked.
We expect social change and argue that racism should be exterminated, but unfortunately we don't understand that you can't kill a cockroach by yelling at someone else for bringing it in the house. You can't eliminate the animosity towards white people by yelling at them for their position in the hierarchy. You go through life doing the best you can, being the best you can, giving materialistically and emotionally until you've reached your lightest and highest potential. You leave the intense dark matter that we unfortunately absorb in the toilet along with the rest of your shit.
