Same ol' story. Different Rant.

I was reminded about a certain thing that pisses me off the other day. I was talking to a woman I know who is white and dates black men exclusively yet she ended up marrying a white guy and had two kids with him before divorcing him.
Long time readers of this blog may notice the similarity to a previous post, but this is not the same story.

I asked her if she was never attracted to white guys why did she marry one. Well she gave the same reason I've heard a dozen times before: Because her parents expected it from her. Apparently it was cool for her to date black guys but god forbid that she actually marry one or GASP!! Have children with them! Wouldn't want to contaminate the bloodline now would we?

That's such bullshit... I can't stand weak fuckers like this who still let their fucking parents dictate their personal affairs. I've run into countless dumbasses like this and it never fails to disgust me, particularly when they don’t agree with their parents' beliefs yet they compromise themselves by only putting up token resistance at most and to satisfy their expectations.

By capitulating to these incredibly narrow-minded beliefs, they are no better than they are. Probably my favorite excuses is when they say, “that’s part of who they are” or “I don’t have the right to try to change their minds.” It’s not just limited to parents, but friends, loved ones, spouses, etc can also be counted.
I know several people who hide behind this reasoning and although, they aren’t racists themselves and they openly disagree with these people's viewpoints, they still enable their racist beliefs by accepting that “part” of them into their lives. By accepting them, they accept racism and that’s what allows it to grow.
It’s like telling someone who is about to bomb an orphanage that you don’t agree with what they are doing, but you don’t do anything to stop them. Oh well, I guess “that’s part of who they are.”


Of course none of them wants to admit this and they always come up with some imaginative excuse or reasoning, but the bottom line is, they have chosen to accept it in their lives.
I consider myself a very tolerant and open-minded person, more so than a lot of people out there, but I always have and always will have a zero tolerance for racism and the people who choose to accept it which is why I don’t have much to do with the a-fore mentioned people. It’s a shame really… these people are overall pretty cool, but they’ve made their choice as have I.

Yeah, yeah, I know I’ve ranted about this subject before, but I feel that it’s worth repeating so shut up.
