I only mention this because color is often the first, most easily recognized personal attribute. The second most easily recognized personal attribute is face shape and features. Nobody questions the idea that people of Oriental heritage are easily distinguished from people of Swedish heritage. Appearance is identity to some extent and it can't be glossed over. It is a fact of life.
OK, the introduction is over. Now for the "racist remarks."
I am completely disgusted with so-called "white supremacists." There has only been one group in recorded history who could approach their stupidity and that was the Nazis. Only an ass can even pretend to believe that color, features or hair can predict whether a person is worthy.
Listen up. I'm going to pick the one most excluded race in this country (the United States) simply because that is where I have the most experience. That race is, of course, people of African descent. Just for this page I'm going to be racist in reverse, although I am more likely to pre-judge people on the basis of age than race. (we all have our little prejudices -- I don't happen to think anyone under thirty has a brain -- just the opposite of what I thought when I was sixteen)
Think about it assholes. This is a group of people who were forcibly uprooted from their homes, treated like animals, denied an education, kept poor and then called inferior. What kind of idiot made the rules of this game?
In spite of being denied education and voting rights there have been extraordinary examples of leadership and enterprise, yet those are not the people I want to write about. I want to applaud the average person.
Where is the Black equivalent of the KKK or the skinheads or the Aryan Nation? (excuse me if that is misspelled -- I don't respect them enough to learn to spell it)
Where are the laws requiring people of African descent to treat white people with dignity? There aren't any because they aren't needed.
Where are the laws against hate crime directed toward white people? Again, not needed.
Why is it that a black motorist is 75 times more likely to be stopped by the police than a white motorist?
Yet, in the face of all this, and much more, 99.9 % of all people of African descent are kind, polite, helpful and cooperative.
You tell me how long YOU would remain calm under such conditions?
And yet you claim to be inherently superior? Guess again. It is perfectly clear to me who is superior, certainly in patience and probably in every other way that counts.
I spent the first eight years of my life in the southern states, and they were before the movement toward equality. I had many hissy fits because I couldn't ride in the back of the bus, couldn't drink out of the nearest water fountain or use the nearest restroom. I had no idea at the time that I couldn't do those things because they were reserved for "colored people" and that I was "too good" to use the same facilities or to ride in the back so I could look out the back window. It never occurred to me to ask why my dad and his best friend ( a black man) could go hunting and fishing together, but not out to dinner or a movie or work at the same job. I didn't understand when I heard someone remark that they didn't mind me playing in the park with a black child but I couldn't meet them and walk home from school with her. Strange that it was OK to walk home with the little white neighbor boy who kicked me at least three times a week for no known reason.
