So, some of you think I am a little Racist ...

So it seems that some might think that the way that I have commented of late make some think I am a little racist.
First off I am not little, (See before mentioned post on weight loss) and second I don’t think I am … other then what I think everyone is.
I honestly believe that no one can say that they are not racist in some way shape of form.
They might think it to themselves that they are not and believe it whole hardily, but I think otherwise.

I, being the center of this Bloguverse, know that I do have racist tendencies.
I think that Asians are smarter then Americans, not so much as because they have a better mind, but because they are better educated and forced to learn and then to be better.
I think that African Americans are more open with their feelings and not afraid to show it.
I think that Hispanics are very passionate especially when it involves a friend or family member.
I think that Scottish, Irish and Spanish men with accents turn woman on with little effort.
These are stereotypes though but are still considered racist comments.

The issue that I think most people have is more of a cultural stereotyping.
If I take a white kid or a black kid or even a Latin child and dress them in thug like clothing and put them walking toward you on the street you might move out of the way.
Not because of their race but how we look at them and the situation them.
They might think it is because you have a twinkle of fear because of their race though.
If you dress the same said Asian child up this way what would you do … O wait, yes be intimidating that’s right it’s the outfit not the person … hehe they are so damn cute!

Children today have a lot of issues and problems like school, money, single parent homes, trying to look cool, trying to be cool, puberty and just trying to find out who they are.

I lived through it and I am sure not many of us want to again!

They still know what racism is and still practice it too I am afraid, but, look at all of the people out there who don’t see it anymore, well as strongly anyway.
We have Blacks, Whites, Asian and Latin’s all ‘hooking up’ and, mind you way to young but what do we know as the adults?
The mixed children that are coming out of these relationships are some of the most beautiful children out there.
Not as pretty as my wife of but darn close!

So the question is, in about 3 or 4 more generations will we even have this problem like we do now?

For once, are the children showing the right path and the parents are just in disagreement?

South Park did an episode on this and had a world of gray people running around from the future.
Are we so far off?

My problem comes from a lack of respect, not your race!
I will show you respect so why can you not do the same?
It is just that simple.
If I go to your country to live, not visit, I will learn your language and your ways to try and fit in.
I am not going to forsake my ways but I will take into consideration yours and try to embrace them while still holding respect for my own as well.
Why can’t the same be said for us?
I can’t even go to where I was born in South Florida because I can’t speak the Language.

I don’t care if you are Black or White, Asian or Latin I might have prejudices but with respect and time can’t we at least try and get along?

It isn’t the black kid in the car with the loud music that bothers me, it the lack of respect that I might not wish to hear that music.

It isn’t the Latin kid screaming profanities at me in Spanish that bothers me it’s the lack of respect of him not talking to me in a civil tone that we can both come to an understanding with.

It isn’t the White guy in the boots and big belt buckle that offends me it’s the … well to be honest all of that and then the to tight jeans, large belt buckle, silly trucker hat, whinny country song in the background about his dog leaving him, his jacked up truck that eats to much gas and takes all of his money that he then complains about not having enough of, the nasty dip in his mouth that he keeps spiting out in front of me, his IQ of 65ish or that he and his wife grew up together in the same single family home.

It also isn’t the crazed looking Asian man with a butcher knife in my face that is disrespectful, it was me staring at his green eyes daughter that started all of that …

I am just saying, we all have built up prejudices and stereotypes and based it on possibly the few or the majority.
That being said we shouldn’t base all of the rest on the few or the majority.

I was forced to have a dislike of Arab’s.
Way before the rest of you and 9/11 I might add … sheep!
Not because of their religion, way of life or multiple virgins in the afterlife … does that refresh or are you stuck with the same 12?
When I was over there I had some bad times with more then a few.
We were forced to listen to the song ‘I will survive’ literally 24/7.
When I hear the song I get mad, when I see a person of Arabic decent I get mad.
I am not happy about it and I it will take years to change that effect too.
I also know though that they are not the once I had to deal with over there and I try to take each person as they come.
I know what racism is and that it is a dangerous thing.
I have also found some great people because I looked past their skin color and accepted the person for who they were not were their ancestors came from or the religion that they practice.

So, open your eyes and look at the person.
Not the skin color, the clothing or the way they talk.
You might not know the upbringing of that person and they’re potential if you stand with them instead of against them.

All of that being said, god help my wife if I ever find a pretty Asian woman with green eyes and an Irish accent!

P.S. I am almost out of serious topics so the fun might start soon …
