Why do people go out of their way to label people, particularly when race is involved?
For example, I can't count all the times I've been referred to as so and so's BLACK friend or the BLACK guy or the BLACK student. That's so fucking retarded. Do people do this to remind themselves and me that we're different from each other? Gee thanks for the news flash! I was beginning to forget that I was indeed a black man. Thank god I have dip shits like this to constantly remind me of the fact. I can understand if someone asks for specific details or how it would help in identification purposes or if it's relevant to a story, but just to throw it out there like that? Come the fuck on!
No, I'm not talking about the politically correct bullshit either. One thing I can't stand is over sensitive pussies. I would rather have somebody say "the indian chick" rather than hear them go on for about 2 minutes describing every physical attribute trying oh so hard not to trip any racial "taboos". Common sense, people.
What I am talking about and what pissed me the hell off was when I went to some crap ass bakery on the first floor of my building a couple years ago to have them move their van that was blocking my car. Well this piece of shit dumbass gets all huffy about it and tells his manager, out loud for the world to hear that there's a BLACK guy out there asking to move their van. Keep in mind, the only two people there was a woman and myself. I don't think the manager would've confused us if the worker left out my ethnic origin. Needless to say I raised all sorts of hell and told them I didn't have time for their fucking racist attitudes and to move their fucking van. I think I cost them their one paying customer as she slinked slowly out the door. Fuck 'em. They shut down 5 months later anyway. Probably because of all the rat shit.
Meh... I'm tired and hungry.

I don't see why it's that big of a deal. I have some friends who happen to have the same name. It also happens that one of them is BLACK and the other one is WHITE. It's not a big deal. I say it in conversation to try and distinguish between the two. It doesn't mean that it's racist.
ReplyDeleteHowever in the example that you said before that was just completely racist. Fucking nazi bakers.

I totally agree. I'm from Australia and we unfortunately have alot of racism here too. I find it tends to be older generations rather than people my age. It really sucks, it's such a pet hate of mine. I don't have time for racist bigots.
ReplyDeleteNice blog, by the way, it's a good read!
