What's the Big Deal about the Color of your Skin?
(Or - Why do we have Neo Nazi's in this great country of ours?)
While I am ranting away, I may as well as rant about what I feel very strongly about - There is no difference between the skin color of black, white, yellow, red (if there is such a skin color), and all the other colors of skin there is out there. It's not the skin color that
make us different - it's the attitude !
I do not discriminate between my black or white friends. Yes, I do have a couple of black friends - sorry. I am not trying to preach in this web site - my job is to rant. And when I see some stupid, moronic, idiotic Neo Nazi's screaming "white power, white power" it gets me sick. For one thing, which these idiotic, moronic, stupid, assholes - etc - seem to forget is the basic facts about the real Nazi's were about anyway. All races besides the german race were inferior and thus expendable. If the germans would have beaten England, Europe, and United States we would not have these rights that we have now. Hell, we might not be alive! For after killing all the jews, Russians, and those weird French people, we Americans would have been next.
Another thing about the real nazi's is that their leader, Hitler - who if ever there was a person that could be called the AntiChrist, he would fit the bill - used racism to turn the german people's attention from what was really wrong with their country (wide spread inflation, high unemployment, food shortages, etc). And what better way to do it than by blaming those nasty evil jews. After all, didn't they have Christ killed ? The only problem with that is that that happened 2,000 years ago (more or less) and it wasn't all their fault. And don't you think that our present day churches would probably have done the same thing. Nobody likes being told that they are doing things wrong - no matter who they be !
I have heard the usual complaint about those "other races" - disdainfully said - they (blacks, asians, Indians, hispanics, etc.....) are all worthless, lazy, stupid people. "They are the reason why this country isn't so great as it used to" is the common idea behind racism. One of the problems with that is that I have come across many - and yes actually more - worthless, lazy white people in my life than any other race. Sure, I have known one or two lazy black dudes, but, damn, I sure have run across way too many worthless white dudes too ! Like I said before Its not the color of your skin - it's your attitude !
And one other thing that makes me think that these neo nazi's are fools. You may think that it is a rather simple idea but give me a minute. Nobody can control where or when or which parents they are born to There is no way that you or I can decide - gee, I want to have white parents before we are born ! It just ain't possible. So anybody who thinks they are superior just because they happened to be white (or black - there are black racists out there too !) are really not thinking too clearly. And, just for fun - let's say that there is reincarnation (who knows - could be true - and I could be rich by the time you read this !) what would happen to these moronic neo nazi's if they are reborn black in a future time ! Oh My ! What a cruel world that would be ! (or maybe a just world - just for once) Basically, its like people who are born into a family that is living in a gutter or on the streets - ya have a hell of a lesser chance of having a good and decent life than somebody whose parents are lets just say - Mr President Clinton and his forgiving wife (for now).
Well, I am done with ranting about prejudice, at least for now. I do not believe that I am always right (though I may say that I am to certain people I work with) but I like to think I am right most of the time. You be the judge. So, I say to all you people out there - "Why can't we just - get along ?"
