It's not always about race.

This post is in no way meant to offend anyone. It is my own opinion that I wanted to share. Again, no offense is meant to anyone. And no harm is meant.

Now with that being said. I am starting another topic about racism because of a couple of Law & Order episodes that I have recently seen and always irritated me. Not just those shows but other shows with racism involved.

I am totally against racsim. I know it exists, and I have no doubt that some crimes, arrests, etc. are racially motivated. But it's not always about race. It really pisses me off when people go around saying "this is because I'm (enter race here)."

Just because you are of a certain background does not give you permission to go around doing what ever the hell you please and then blame being caught on racism. Or blame not getting a job on racism. Do people ever stop to think that maybe they got pulled over because they passed a red light or their tail light is broken? Or that maybe they didn't get that job because they weren't qualified enough? Maybe they didn't get into a specific college because their SATs weren't good enough or they didn't have enough extra curricular activities.

Maybe the kids at school don't like someone's child because their child is a brat. Maybe he gets in trouble at day care so much because he hits other kids.

Maybe someone got their a** kicked because they were being stupid. Now like I said above, I know things like this are racially motivated. But it's not always the case. And I am really sick and tired of hearing people always thinking that things aren't going right in their life just because they are a certain skin color.

Okay I'm done venting. That has been bugging me for ages. I apologize if I offended anyone. That was not my intent. I just wanted to write this down.

Yup. I noticed that law & order shows are picking on the poor little nazi's. The exagerations I watched was laughable...I couldn't stop laughing at it. So irrational.

Made them all look like brainless angry twits when in reality, many of them are actually very intelligent and able to see what is going on in this world, more than most people.

I wonder if it's because the American, National Socialist Movement announced they are going to start running candidates at future elections?

rosesforme17 >> Totally agree. My first highschool was horrible about that. Almost everytime a non-white kid got in trouble they screamed racism and they'd get let off the hook really easy because of it...

I read somewhere once that Adolf Hitler once said(or wrote) that those who say they don't see anything in race at all, are liars.

I can only agree with this in a way.

I personally don't give a s*** really.

That Is So True!
Racism does exist! and i believe that everyone IS racist! u might deny it, but u are,i am, even just a little!

but sometimes it's like some ppl of ur same race, has set a certain reputation before, so others just automatically think that ur the same, which might really be true in some cases.

to me, it's just"Weird" to blame ur own fault on ur skin colour, it' s not ur ancestors who did it!


well, Keep it Real!~
