Endevouring not to do some work due for tuesday im going to have a little rant. Spurned by a conversation with Don Juan i have too many thoughts in my head. If you dont want to read something that may be miscontrued to ignorent minds as racist and offensive, dont read on. You have been warned and i dont want to deal with the unneccessary backlash from small minds.
Right, are you sitting down? Here we go.
Im sick and tired of rascism. This isnt some rant about how its sickening blah blah blah. Thats a given, we all know its wrong. But...(and people who especially live in London will testify,) people have forgotten it works both ways.
Admittidly, back way yonder, it was blacks who were persecuted and turned over to the slave trade. No respect and treated like possesions and animals. But today, modern day, in a society where we are all too P.C suddenly everyone neglects the fact it is also whites that suffer at the hands of racism too.
Ive walked down the corridors in uni so many times to have a group of black people push me out the way, slam doors in my face and generally dont give a fucking shit im there, because i dont need respect apparantly. Common courtousy is shot to shit and im sick of it to be honest.
I would like to state that i am genuinly the least rascist person i know and i even have 'know your rights' tattooed on my shoulders, and that wasnt there just to apply to little ol' white me.
It seems to me that the atrocities black africans especially endured before means that the younger white generation are still being punished for it. Its almost like a huge chip on their shoulders that they carry around with a big fucking attitude.
Dont think im generalising of course. I try to take everyone on an individual basis. I mean you dont judge people on their race, sex, clothes etc. Well, in this politically correct world you shouldnt anyway.
Before christmas i had an argument with a black girl in my human rights class regarding race. She of course only thought rascism was a white on black thing and couldnt comprehend the idea of it being reversed. Simply not true!
We were discussing the news article about the 15 year old scottish lad who was kidnapped by Asian gang members and taken to a waste ground and murdered. He was heard screaming something horrific along the lines of 'im only 15 and dont know you, what have i done?" as they shoved him in the boot of the car. The details are becomming hazy but i think he was stabbed numerous times and set alight and left.
When they caught the guys who did it, the only reason they gave was that it was a revenge attack for one of their mates being jumped in a pub or something crap like that. They didnt even know him.
This girl in my class said that the only reason we heard about this story was because the newspapers are rascist and want to pick up on minority attacks against white people. I could see her point, but id like to belive that they reported it regarding the severity of the case. I dont think because they were different skin colours that takes it away in any shape or form.
She mentioned you never hear about black people being attacked and got on her high horse. I threw Stephan Lawrence and Damilola Taylor back in her face and she had nothing to say.
Another case, i was in the library and this guy had nicked my computer chair and there obviously is none spare because one per computer. I went up to the two black guys and said to one 'excuse me but could i have my chair back please as i need it to finish my work.' He looked at me like id shat on his kids and grunted something, without looking at me, that there was another chair around the corner. I couldnt find one, so looking slightly pissed off i strolled back to my computer. He swung round and barked at me 'take that chair!' Pointing to a chair by another computer, which was being used. A coat was on it, water bottles around pc, work on screen. You get the idea. So i said to him 'im not TAKING someone ELSES chair as they are using it!!!!' Now, i can guarentee that if i was a black girl, hed have been all manners and such to her. But because i was white he already thought i was having a go at him. Maybe im the one making assumptions? But you had to be there.
I guess what im trying to say is, im not rascist, for christ sake i went to school with so many different nationalities that i dont give a rats arse hole where your from. I take you on who you are and i always show manners, or try to, to whoever it is in the corridor or whatever.
Im just getting sick to death of being treated like i am a rascist because other people have hang ups. Surely those people that judge me and make assumptions are just as bad as the people they are complaining about?!
