A word on racism

I know I said the last post was my "last" post, but I'm bugged more and more by this racism issue these days. It's impossible to ignore after all... I never thought about it in depth, but I'm so screwed in life... I didn't know that as a black male, without a college degree, you'd be lower than dirt. I hope black kids out there don't make that mistake of assuming racism's a thing of the past. It's not. White guys keep screwing with me at work, though that's nothing too serious, to say nothing of the internet's newfound interest in playing around with me now that I've been revealed as a black person, a mutt specifically, but that doesn't matter...

And now I wonder who are black people? As kids we weren't thinking about each other as anything but what was on the inside. Oh that person's a jerk, oh she's nice, he's smart etc. Now you grow up and holy God, YO MY BRUTHA HOMIE SUP BOOOOYYIEEEEE, WAZZUUUP! That's the image of black culture I constantly see everywhere... *face palm* I'll keep living but I'm not looking forward to sticking around, honestly...
