Perhaps "they" can get over it,(lol) and accept that individuals who only see color, or don't see color on purpose are simple minded individuals, ignorant in almost every way. It can be truely hard to overcome adversity, especially when it comes to diversity. (I didn't mean for that to ryhm, but oh well). I'v put up with all kinds of idiot crap, ignorance in my work for example. It may not be as race issue, but it's a humanitarian issue, and what inspires me is that there are people out there who are not afraid to voice their concerns, and take actions. I once took a break in the dam mall where I work; this was about 6 years ago. I was sitting there trying to mind my own business when I couldn't help but over hear two women managers telling their young Muslim lady employee how she was not good with the customers. This completely pissed me off. I had ordered food from that employee several times, and thought that she was if anything too courteous, and very pleasant. I sat there while she was badgered through her review, and I wanted to make a statement, but not make her situation worse. I went and got her a smoothie, walked back to where this was taking place, and simply said "here this is for you". I walked away, and I heard her bosses make some comments but I for sure hope I embarrassed them. That’s two down, and a hell of a lot more to go. So many assholes out there and so little time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-82806621501892725812007-07-27T01:34:00.000+02:002007-07-27T01:34:00.000+02:00It's a little difficult for me to keep my mouth sh...It's a little difficult for me to keep my mouth shut, not that I try.Eugenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14422661489753353784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-25021546289722476802007-07-26T00:30:00.000+02:002007-07-26T00:30:00.000+02:00I can't help it.

They seem to see niceness as a weakness and lord their white privilege over their confronters.

Lets face it, they complaine about how affirmative action hurts them, the poor white males. Its a load of bullshit, and its a fine thing to have people out there pointing it out. I only wish there was more that can be done, and basically if we all live everyday doing our best to treat others with dignity and respect, and show others how to be decent human loving individuals, then we have done ok for the day.<BR/>And hey, its pretty cool that Ridwan is keeping up on his blog while in Mexico. I hope your having a great time Ridwan. <BR/><BR/>DioneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-23474747110821793962007-07-24T02:54:00.000+02:002007-07-24T02:54:00.000+02:00ALL HAIL TO US EVIL DARKIES!ALL HAIL TO US EVIL DARKIES!Eugenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14422661489753353784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-48833525670851899342007-07-23T18:23:00.000+02:002007-07-23T18:23:00.000+02:00Eugene it amazes me just how glib those folks can ...Eugene it amazes me just how glib those folks can be.

And move on where?<BR/><BR/>"It" would have to be confronted and that can't be done in 13 years only.<BR/><BR/>"Move" would mean that justice would have to be implemented.<BR/><BR/>In either case most whites would shout "reverse racism"!<BR/><BR/>I am reminded of a white South African who left because he hated Blacks a few years ago.<BR/><BR/>He went to live in Los Angeles where his boss was a Black man.<BR/><BR/>In LA he spent a lot of his time complaining about being discriminated against because he was white.<BR/><BR/>He labelled his boss an Affirmative Action hire, etc.<BR/><BR/>He used to write letters to an expat magazine in the US.<BR/><BR/>All throughout you would swear he was a man enslaved and severely discriminated against.<BR/><BR/>Another universal feature of whiteness is the insistence that they are pigmentation victims.<BR/><BR/>No matter where they find themselves, their race is under threat form evil darkies.<BR/><BR/>Be well brother,<BR/>RidwanRidwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-74885786482201612012007-07-23T11:22:00.000+02:002007-07-23T11:22:00.000+02:00I hate those "I don't want to feel guilt" mother-f...I hate those "I don't want to feel guilt" mother-fuckers. What they are really saying is, "I don't want any challenges to my whiteness or the privilege it brings me. Nor do I want to face up to all the laws more numerous to mention that have been broken and the peoples committed genocide against to bring me that privilege. I benefit from it now. The darkies should just get over it because again, it benefits me, the great whitie and MY privilege." I hate those mother-fuckers.Eugenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14422661489753353784noreply@blogger.com
