Racism



The term “Racism” in its various forms, has been an overused term over the bulk of the last 10 years. It seems that if you are white and don’t agree with the outgoing President Obama’s policies, you are considered as being racist. 

Never mind the fact that everyone is entitled to have an opinion and maybe – just maybe – I dislike him for other reasons than skin tone. Like how Mr. Hope and Change, Presidential Candidate Obama, who promised to give the American people something different, turns into President Obama, who has given us more of the same shit his predecessor has given us and more.

Yet his supporters turn a blind eye to that and are quick on the draw with the race card, Now we’re not going to get into what Obama has and has not accomplished in his eight years but his legacy will go down in history as being the most racially intoxicated President America has seen in the 21st century. 

There are certain white/black social constructs that have been born with every human being. Let’s face it, America is a nation that was conceived by slave owners that created a foundation of beliefs that all men were created equal and has a history of genocide and gross mistreatment of blacks (African Americans or whatever they want to be called these days) 

I get it. It was horrible but the operative word there is was

I never personally owned slave of any color and I’m sure that the black folks alive today were never slaves, picking cotton for their massah’s, so get over it already. 

How do you plan to progress and move forward if your focus is on the past? 


Racism is more subtle than bigotry. 

It seems in today’s politically correct, overly sensitive, desensitized society of crybabies and whiners, it is perfectly acceptable to walk around screaming black lives matter while society attempts to shame people for being white. Hate is everywhere because of a random accident of birth that no one of us had control over. 

However that same society, that feels that it’s easier to categorize everyone into certain groups – the society that plays that race card like some sort of immunity idol to make excuses for bad decisions and poor life choices… has become the racists they abhor. They are a parody of what they despise and are the most hateful and dangerous in a so called civilized.

I am all for equal rights. It shouldn’t matter what your skin color is or whether or not you have a penis or whatever the label you sport, tags you as. But equal means equal. You have the same rights and freedoms as I do and everyone else. You are free to marry. You are free to walk around anywhere you like, provided it is where the government allows...

And you are also able to be the target of ridicule and jokes, just like the rest of us. You can’t cherry pick what parts of equality you want. It’s all or nothing. I have seen black students want the college campuses to now include “safe zones” essentially bringing back segregation. Be careful what you ask for. The first black president (as his supporters love to point out) will go down in history as the president that set race relations in America back fifty years.

Good job. 

You can agree with me or not, you can call me a racist, I don’t care. That card has been dropped so many times that it has lost all of its power. I have just as much right to have an opinion as anyone and you can’t take it away because you don’t agree. You can show how unstable you are mentally by threatening to kill me but all that would do is prove my point and land your ass in jail. Remember, we live in a (semi) civilized society and there are laws and consequences when you elect to step outside the realm of sanity because your feelings get hurt.
