I Have Something to Say

Well said! If it doesn't effect us directly, then it doesn't exist. MURICA!!!

"but, but, but, children are starving in Africa! how can your suffering be important?"

Yeah, I get really tired of that false equivalence bullshit. How bad things are elsewhere doesn't make it any more tolerable here - and I have to say I was astonished, when we got to the US 8 years ago, how entrenched and endemic racism still is here, how central it is to every aspect of social structures.

Our introduction to this was a few weeks after we arrived in Arkansas, to find a woman had a cross burned on her lawn, to try and terrify her...because she had mixed-race children ?!? ... that's 2008.

Racism won't vanish into thin air. It will always be an issue. You just need to have the balls to just laugh it off. Racist jerks, they don't even know what's the difference of Chinese, Japanese and Korean. They just talk and talk. Idiots! I have been through that and I don't even like noodles. Fuck it.

I say this to all blacks I bet my ancestors love to have changed places with you. I'm native American partly and my ancestors were killed by the military. Also we were here first they invaded our land.
