"AHHH! Can we all just settle down."
Bored as FRICK!
Talking on the phone with my girl K, wondering what the hell else I'm gonna do for the rest of the day.....
let's talk about.........:Racism.
Well, that's not really what I wanted to talk about.....but it sounds pretty interesting. Cause that's what we were talking about over the phone. And the reason why we were talking about it is cause today at our school, we had this assembly, and that's why I think that's a good topic for today....or right now....cause I can't stay off of this thing for more than like 3 hours.
But......yea.
Today when we had the assembly, they talked about....a lot....of stuff.
It was basically kids in high school, admitting their deepest darkest secrets, and opening up to the student body. Which.....is all good. Except for the fact that the minorities (and this would be pertaining to people outside just the black race, since like......black and white are the only two races anyone ever focuses on) are always so.....isolated, and feel so.......awkward.
Now, this is not no plea, or something that is gonna be for black power or whatever.
None of that now. Tired of all that shit.
This is to you black people....Asian people...Spanish people....Jewish people....etc, whatever, that take things...so...damn...SERIOUSLY!
I mean for real.....stop bein' so damn sensitive. It's America. You see that word right there? AH-MERE-AH-CA! Shit like that happens all the time. And if your a minority, including myself, your gonna have to deal with that type of stuff on a daily basis for your whole life.
YOUR....WHOLE.....LIFE.
Like for example: this one girl that sits at my lunch table. Man.....she's always talking smack, and it never ends. But other than that, this girl thinks the whole world is out to get her. Like.........seriously? Chill out. She's convinced that everyone is a damn racist. Cause at the assembly, there was a slide show that showed every one's secrets that they wrote, and this one kid admitted to being racist. So, at lunch, she flipped out.
Now slow your roll....cause I know some of ya'll are gonna give me all this crap, and you can if you want, but you gotta read the following before you do.
Now....I....am NOT....a racist. Nor will I ever...ever...be.
And chances are I may never understand what's wrong with that girl, but it's whatever. GET OVER IT. Cause the more you complain about little comments like that, the more you add on to the statistic. And it just never goes away.
I'll tell you one thing....I don't say the N word. I really, don't. In fact, every time I refer to it, I always literally say "the N word." Why?: Cause it's derogatory. And me saying it, only makes me and my whole race look bad. And if you say it, and don't agree with me, that's on you. Not that saying it can always be bad, cause you do what you wanna do. But it's this thing about.....how only black people can, and no one else pertaining to any other race can say it.
........That's some bull-shit.
Why?: because.....that's a myth. ANYONE AND EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO SAYING ANYTHING HE OR SHE CHOOSES TO SAY.
Learn it. Live it. Then teach it. And continue to live by it.
People are people. It's the 20th century...meaning things have changed....dramatically. Back in the day, maybe a Caucasian/White person couldn't dare say something like that to an African-American person, or they'd get beat up. Or the best job a Spanish or Chinese person could get was a nail or cleaning job.
But.....shit has changed man.
I'd rather have my friends that aren't black, ask me questions about African-American race. Cause a lot of times, what we might take as an insult, is really just confusion. Cause other people that aren't in your race, don't understand it's history better than you.
So what do you do?: Answer them. Give them a legitimate response, so they know what's right.....instead of freaking out, and going crazy over nothing.
.......Cause it makes you look so.....damn....stupid.
And I think that's why I have as many friends as I do. Because I make them feel free around me. Because I could give a crap about what anyone has to say. I mean, yea....he said the N word.......
But........was he talking to you?!?!?!
If someones racist......shit....let that person be racist! If he or she isn't talking to you, let them be. Cause the truth is, you can't literally go around, and crack every body that says the N word in the face. You just can't. And if that's how you live your life right now, and your reading this......stop. Cause you look dumb....for real. And I......would never support anything like that. Even if you were my homie. Cause that's not classy......or the least bit "cool".....at all.
I love everybody. I don't care about your race, size, clothes, or whether or not you toast your pop tarts before you eat them. I just don't care. Cause that's not what makes a human being.
We all have a brain....a heart....and the same air supply.
So...consider that.
