I hate everything: Racisim, and how it works.

If you came here expecting herp-dilly derps galore, and mostly comedy, you came to the wrong place.

Shits going to get deep, Yo.


I hate everything, if you couldn't tell that already.

However, there are some things I hate more than others. To clarify, here's a small chart.

1: Puppies.
2: Unicorns.
3: Baby Laughter.
4: Dogs.
5: Cats.
6: Your face.
7: Your mom.
8: Your mom's face.
9: Politics that I can't make fun of
10: People against discrimination that, in attempting to thwart discrimination, cause discrimination.

I'm going to be talking about number 10 today: The thing I hate the most.

Everyone has causes. I recently signed up for causes on The Facebooks, such as "Join this group to stop drunken fathers from beating small boxes of brain-eating aliens that make people understand common sense."

Okay, not really, but it sounded good. I may have to start that one.

Anyway, what I'm getting at is that people often to see the long-range consequences of their actions: That is to say, take a look at the following situation I recently heard a friend suggest:
"Well, us black people are always offended by you white people, so we should make a bar or something that only black people can come in."

Time for another vocabulary lesson, kids.

Discrimination, when talking about a service: The refusal of a service based on race, sex, or religion, or any other belief, lifestyle, etc that a person may or may not have.

That is to say, racism works both ways. Even though a majority won't want to hear it, racism, sexism, intolerance of all kind works both ways.

"Why can't people realize this, Alex?"

To put it simply: Non-Racist people can't realize that discrimination works both ways because of racism.

Am I saying everyone is racist? No. I'm saying that its a natural, instinct to put the race that we're from on a pedestal. It has been for years, in hundreds and thousands and millions of species. Just like we put ourselves on top. Just like lions are superior to house cats.

The only issue is that lions will maul a house cat to death to prove this point. We, as humans, won't. That, and we may be the only species where all our different types actually are balanced. We all have our strength and weaknesses- as individuals. No one race has any other trait better than another race, and no one is weaker than other races.

However, due to instinct, we all see ourselves better than others: Because we all strive to be. Every person in the world can act as their own country: Vying for power- physically, politically, in any way- for more allies in friends, for more money, for better cars to prove we're better than our enemies, and even friends.

Because in nature, we're all animals. We all want to be the superior animal. We want to be the top dog, the alpha male. Thustly, we put ourselves on a pedestal.

And when defined by race, we put ourselves in a pedestal. Because that's how the world works.


And finally, we look to small periods of time; to truces where the world works better than other times. Where everyone understands this law. Holidays mark these times; and we manage to control it, for the most part.

But when that ends, its right back to the mill of secretly, sub-consciously hating everyone that isn't us.

And that's why I hate everything, because its instinct.

So here's to another new year of bringing you the biggest derpity-derp things that enter my mind, and tings that just generally rub me the wrong way;

I'm just kidding. Kicks and punches.
