Isles of Scion

Here is what confuses me about hatred in this country.

If you make fun of someone that happens to be fat its ignorance towards obesity.
If you make fun of someone that happens to be a woman its misogyny.
If you make fun of someone that happens to be old its hatred towards the elderly.
If you make fun of someone that happens to be any race other than white its racism.
If you make fun of someone that happens to be poor you are insensitive to issues of poverty.
If you make fun of someone that is white and middle class or better it’s quite alright.

This goes for everyone from jokes to assault. If the police officer had tazered some white kid to death it would of been shocking but would of been shrugged off in a few days. The only reason the “Don’t taze me bro” kid got media attention is because it was hilarious.
I admit there are awesome things about being white, because everyone tells me there is. Sure I can’t make fun of anyone that isn’t white without getting attacked or labeled a racist, sure I can’t get financial aid (whereas a close friend who lives in a home instead of a mobile home can and all he has on me is a natural tan), sure when I apply for jobs I’m weighted against the advantageous design of diversity.

Hell lets look at the fact that diversity was defined in my developmental psychology book as “an integration of non white people and cultures”. By definition I’m apparently bland and undeserving. Then look at the fact that I get lumped in with every white hick who says something racist and for reasons unbeknownst to me I have to work harder just because my parents or my grandparents or my great grandparents were dicks to other people.

I didn’t even understand the concept of racism till I got into school. I lived in a neighborhood with people from all over the world (ethnically speaking) and most of us were middle class or below, not once did I think to myself “Wow these darkies need to shape up”. I had a great time and I grew up pretty damn fine, and yet I find myself getting into school and being drilled about how my people are rapists and slave owners. Most times not even emphasized in the past tense.

Racism is just like Gender typing. Racism is not inherently human much like boys are not inherently attracted to much of the things marketed to boys and girls to the things marketed to girls. We as a society treat people differently because of predetermined assumptions on how they should be. Instead of working for individual androgyny we fight hard to keep the “women love makeup and eating disorders” and “Men love cares and burning shit” just as we do the whole “All black people are opressed” and “All white people got it made in the shade”.

At the point people start making broad assumption about any group of people, even germans during world war II, they begin making one erroneous statement after the next. It’s a correlational flaw, did the cop tazer the kid to death because he was black and the cop was racist OR did the cop’s actions get labeled racist because the kid he tazered to death was black. Either way the cop was a dick but using his actions to explain how all white people have it out to tazer black people to death is retarded.

Man…there are far too many red underlined words in this rant…ah well.

PS. Lest I forget the only instances I’ve had with traffic police has been them pulling me over an telling me that people like me kill kids because I was caught going over the speed limit. The first time I was 16 and still learning how to drive the guy brought me to a tear stricken panic because he was shouting into my window and calling me a dumb shit for not knowing where my registration was.
