To everyone: Race isn't everything
The views expressed in this rant may lead you to believe that I am a VERY racist person. I want it known from the get go that I am not racist, I just comment on my observations..
Now, on to the rant.
NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT RACE!
Those ignorant people somehow manage to find something wrong with every single thing anyone ever does. I was watching a news report on the Duke Lacross crap, and they have arrested two players who "participated in the assualt and rape". Except for one thing. One (or both) of them WERN'T EVEN THERE! And yet the "victim"'s cusin was on the news saying how she was glad they finally arrested those responsible and she was confident that they were the people who did it because she "picked out their pictures" More importantly; however, this whole thing has SOMEHOW managed to become a race thing. I'm sure that when the lacross players hired a "Exotic Dancer" they had no idea of her skin color, much less gave a damn. Even still, the NAACP is "watching it very closely" because god forbid those two white boys get free, they need to be there to file a civil suit (which, I will get into at another time).
Unfortunatly, this is a problem that runs much deeper than just the Duke stuff. Have you noticed how those exact same ignorant people are the ones causing the biggest rucous about the Mexican's "taking American jobs"? THE JOBS THE MEXICANS TAKE ARE THOSE JOBS THAT NOONE WANTS TO BEGIN WITH! I'm willing to bet money that if for some reason we kicked all the mexican's out, those people would be the last people to try and get those jobs, and would probably start complaining about how nothing is getting done..
Then there is New Orleans and Bush. I must admit I hate George Bush a lot, and I blame him for a lot of things, but theese people have gone too far. "George Bush didn't help New Orleans because the people there are poor blacks". IT'S NOT ABOUT RACE! Even if you were a city of white people, the help would have been lacking. Maybe if they got off their fat lazy asses more than once a year (Mardi Gras!), you could get out! Sure there are a lot of hurricanes, but how often does a Category 5 hurricane go directly over New Orleans... add to that the city is under water, there should have been no hesitation. George Bush didn't have anything to do with New Orleans, it was the FEMA Director, and he didn't help New Orleans because he didn't understand the meaning of "Category 5 Hurricane".
And of corse I have to add in the thing with the Congress woman from Georgia. She walks through a check point at the capital building and doesn't stop. Hrm. Lets see here. If I drove past a check point without stoping, what do you think the police are going to do? Let me go? Anyway the security guard tried to stop her, so he put his hand on her sholder. She then threw her Cell phone at him and started swinging at him.
Lets see now......... what do you think the Congress woman did? Apologize? Of corse not. She called a press conference and told everyone that she was being harassed for being a black woman. The sad thing: Those Georgians believed her! It has nothing to do with race. They were stoping everyone. It was just that she was too ignorant to notice.
Is it just me or do these people always manage to find a way to turn everything into something about race.
Now, on to the rant.
