The Current Political Process, Or How Much More Racist Can This Country Possibly Get...

Oh My, What Obama Really Thinks Of White Folks...Doesn't Everybody?


What McCain Voters Think of Obama, or Racist Hicks from the PA..Givin y'all a shout out from the SOUTH


This current election season has brought out the best, the worst, the immature and the mature, but what it has currently brought out in abundance are the Racists. I figured that, being a sound 22-year-old with a good head on my shoulders and a bright outlook on life, that I would never have seen a minority president in my life time, or my younger brother's lifetime or even my children's life time. I can look around me and see that the people in this country staunchly hold onto the stories that they were told as children, the hatreds that were expressed towards them and those that they expressed towards each other and the inherent hostility that belies any dealings that every race in this country has for each other; no matter that we're all mixed raced, no matter that no one in this country is pure-whatever-type blood. We're all mutts.

However, as stated, this current election process has brought out the ugliness that exists in people. And while it's not just on the side of white people, but other minority groups as well, I think I highlight on white people and their prejudices and hatreds for other races because they really, truly have no reason to hate or have prejudices against other races; after all, not to be cruel, but...white people started it. Now, I've heard the white argument that blacks owned slaves too, and while that maybe the case, race never had anything to do with it. Black people in Africa didn't own a person or mistreat a person because of the fact that their skin was darker, their facial features were different and their language was different from their's. Generally, people that were in the same regions in Africa spoke the same language or a variation of it (I said region, not country). However, when whites invaded Africa and captured peoples and brought them to Europe and America as slaves, they were the ones that first introduced the concept of demeaning another race because they were of another race and ethnicity, not because there was something imperfect about their peoples, no. Merely because their skin was darker and their features different, they considered them somehow less intelligent. Check out the Library of Congress. The books that were written about just these subjects are still in print: in paperback, hardcover and even available as an E-book.

So, that's my first problem with white people. They refuse to believe that they are the reason that many problems in the world arose because of them and their ancestors. And while not all whites are bad, they still bear the mark of what their ancestors have done by not identifying with others, by subtly teaching their children that they are entitled to all the fruits of the earth and other races aren't. They just have this...thing...about them that marks them. It's in their blood, etched into their genetic code, and any minority that's dealt with white people on the dailey knows it and sees it and are irritated by it. Anyway, I've digressed from my original point of this particular post.

I got on youtube and was scrolling through some of the posts of vids for this particular election season and what should catch my eye? A post that a person put up in reference to what McCain voters shout out whenever Obama is mentioned, and it sickens me. Young people and old people, arguing and shouting at the Obama supporters, while simultaneously shouting 'Bomb Obama' and other such alarming remarks, and that even a Democrat was saying that he wasn't going to vote for Obama becuase he doesn't want a black man in office.

That's...depressing.

White people are ONLY seeing the color of his skin. They've forgotten that there is a such thing as needing to have an education in order to even become a Senator: you know, going to Law School, Practicing Law, Getting Elected and what not. It's like they forgot that no matter what you look like, if you're going to take on handling the finances and policies of an ENTIRE state, you've got to have at least some form of education. They don't see where this man is qualified, where he's gone to other countries and made allies, where he's carried himself with dignity and integrity in this process...No, no, no...all they see is his skin color. And yet, they want minorities of all races to be proud to call themselves American, when they are blatantly met with this underlying hostility no matter what college you've graduated from, what honors you've recieved in your lifetime and that no dirty laundry other than a habit for smoking cigarettes has been aired on National Television. I mean, you'd think if they wanted slander his name they could find an illegitimate child, a drug addiction, something. No, all they can say is that because he has friends with opposing views that he clearly shares those views too.

Really, people? REALLY? Is that all you got?

Not only that, but then I clicked on a second post on youtube where it was a clear warning for white people in which some idiot poster was trying to slander Obama because of certain things he said in his book. I must say that whites are grasping for straws. I believe, just about every minority in this country has at least one bad thing to say about whites because white people do it to themselves with their ignorance and their inability to attempt to understand cultures different from their's. And Obama is no different. And he's what? In his mid to late forties? He's grown up during a time when whites were more asshole then they are now, when they were more out in the open with their hostilities for other races. He's seen hatred heaped on him and those he loves, so how is it wrong for him to cite these experiences in his book(s). What? Is he just supposed to forget his life experiences in the face of this election? Is he supposed to forget that those experiences made him who he is? What he is and what he could mean for this country?

I'm not going to say he's a messiah, but he's a breath of fresh air because there's a new perspective that country can get, that this country and its citizens can see. That he can show to everyone: Niggers aren't stupid, ape-like, obnoxious, smelly individuals. Black people are proud, caring, hold to their family values and are intelligent beyond measure. His perspective can shed light on the hostilities that whites have to minorities and the hostilities that minorities have to each other. It's a way to show that skin color shouldn't matter, that we as a species can grow and prosper if we stop trying to figure out ways of alienating each other and come together to build a brighter future.

I just don't understand why whites have troubles identifying with him, and that's the real reason why they hate or dislike him, and other races. They feel like they can't identify with us and they only delve into understanding others at a skin deep level. They never think that we share the same religious, family and core values, that we don't love the same way they do or care the same way they do or feel even the most basic emotions.

They see us as different merely because of the color of our skin and not because of the fact that we have different opinions or different tastes. And it also gets me that whites expect us to be able to identify with them. That when a television show comes on that deals with certain themes--drug culture, for instance--they can't identify with the black face that may be on screen, but put a white guy on screen with the same character and the same lines and they can automatically relate...even if they've never lived in that type of lifestyle or environment. But, we--as minorities--are supposed to agree, supposed to be able to identify with the all white cast of characters, even though not all minorites are blonde haired, blue-eyed and rosy lipped, growing up in a suburbia and spoiled rotten by our parents to be irritating, lifesized Barbie dolls. Seriously, people? Seriously?

Get out of your "safe", "comfortable" damn bubbles and do something with yourselves instead of wallowing in your hatred and prejudice. It just makes your souls ugly.

It disgusts me, but we have a long way to go. This is just the first step.

I wish these people would grow up and take this step with me.

ORGANIZATION STRATEGY ONE...Commenced

Okay, so I've actually started on and completed the organization strategy one as I am going to call it and I think my boyfriend thinks I am insane because I bitched out my book last night, although he's a sweetie pie and made up for it with some awesome snugglage after I was finished. Anyway, I bummed off from the early hours of work to do this so I'm going to go in at five and just contact clients before the work day ends to get their sides of the story for whatever this and that so that I can at least attempt to earn my paycheck. Not that I don't attempt to earn it either way I've just got to buckle down so that I can pay my rent by then end of the month and my ever wonderful bills too.

So, I've got the prologue, chapters 1 - 20 and the epilogue planned out and am trying to determine whether or not if I should write them on my computer or write them in a notebook. My brain shouts both, but my brain is currently turning to mush so I can't be too sure. I hope my boss wrote my paycheck out. I'll be insanely irritated if she hasn't.

Anyway, I'm off to the writing of the book. Aw, wait no..It's almost five o'clock...let me go make a twenty minute drive to work. Laters!

My Brain Feels Like Mush....

Okay, there's this author I love, love, love to absolute pieces, but can I just say there is a thin line between love and hate? I mean, she is PHENOMENAL in that kind of oh-my-god you could win all the Pulitzer Prizes in the known galaxy and I was sooooooooooo totally be happy for you, but then there's little voice inside that wails and screams and stomps its little foot and says: DAMN YOU, WOMAN!! DAMN YOU AND YOUR MUSES!!! DAMN YOU AND YOUR WITTY LINES AND WITTY COMEBACKS AND YOUR SIMPLY FLAWLESS POPULARITY!!! DAMN YOUR BOOK DEAL!!!"

It's just jealousy really.

I love her books and her ideas, I just hate that I can't seem to stick with one idea and then make it work. Take for example this one story I've got, I've revamped it at least three times already because the first two story lines were just too big and too confusing and were opening a lot of doors to plot holes that my brain was screaming at me: please don't make me fill them. I'm irritated and annoyed, and am hoping that I can finally implement ORGANIZATION-STRATEGY-ONE, in which I finally draft an outline after much procrastination and just piteous shouts of 'I dun wanna!'

I want to be famous like her one day, or maybe just more famous so I can good-naturedly rub it in her face and say, YARG!!! The apprentice has now become the master! And then do some respectful bow before whipping out pens that have lightsabers at the ends of them and do some huge, epic battle that could rival that of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.

I don't know.

I'm going to go back to hating my book now.
