Here's a little something..

So, today in Psychology, we watched Hotel Rwanda. For those of you who don't know, it's a movie about an African conflict in 1994. Now, the basic idea of this whole thing is that I fucking despise racism.

At one point in the movie, the white American lieutenant is informing the hotel owner that the white troops are pulling out and leaving them to handle their problems on their own. The lieutenant is in no way to blame for the attitude of his superiors, he is just relaying the message. However, his words drive home the point, that racism is and will remain prevalent in society. His message is that 'They don't give a damn about you, because you're dirt to them. You're not even valued as a nigger in their eyes.' For one thing, I can't fathom how anyone can just look away from fucking genocide. The hotel owner takes more verbal and physical abuse than I could ever put up with over my entire lifetime in the span of a few hours. I mean, yes, there's an armed militia there and ready to kill should anything go awry, but why suffer? I would have taken a far more responsive approach to handling the militia. It's like high school bullies, once a bigger one shows up they back down.

But I digress; I'm getting away from my point.

What sense is there in judging someone just because of their race? I've seen latin girls who appeared to be caucasian at first glance. Dialect gave it away.

I mentioned in my previous post that I grew up in an extremely racist community. While I do not share their views, I do understand what it feels like to be isolated. We're halfway between two almost-cities, and the only attention we really get from anyone is from the postal service and local fires. Our fire department has one of the few brush trucks in the area, so at least we get a little recognition there.

That said, I fucking despise racism in all shapes and forms.

Everyone was put on this earth with the same features. We just got a lucky draw for where we would grow up, how we would act, what we would look like, etc etc.

So please, for the sake of myself and others who believe racism is a joke. If you have a prejudice, keep it to yourself, because I don't want to hear it.
