I am sick and tired of all the ignorance, hate, and fear that Americans have. Are we all that fucking stupid? We will believe any fucking rumor that we hear, yet when told that China owns a great deal of our national debt that we will have to pay to them with interest their eyes glaze over and not for a second do they believe that. There are even some people who believe that there are WMD’s in Iraq or that Saddam was the conspirator of 9/11. How the fuck did we get so ignorant and stupid? Wait I know the American education system which is ranked lower than any other industrialized nation. When will we get a mother fucking clue… It doesn’t matter what a person looks like, what god they worship, what gender they are, what side of the political spectrum they fall on, or any other preconceived notions we have that only serve to perpetuate this sense of isolationism. What matters is the actions a person has taken and the merits they have earned through said actions, we are all humans dammit! Can’t we show some God Damned compassion for once in our fucking lives? Wake up! Form your own damned opinions and research shit for your own personal enjoyment and satisfaction rather than being spoon fed garbage. Excuse my profanity, but I am fed up with ignorance. Please share your thoughts so I may know that not all people are this apprehensive and ignorant.
And all this after a lengthy and thought provoking discussion on racism and discrimination on facebook…

Disraeli once said: “It’s all about race…History is all about race.”
If you don’t understand that, you cannot understand history. Nor will you be able to understand the present nor the future regardless of any eglaritarian beliefs. It always comes down to that. Always.
They are people in this country who believe it was Germans who bombed Pearl Harbor. People know who won “American Idol” but have zero idea what the Federal Reserve is — only that it has “Federal” in the name so it must be the government –right?
What a sorry joke.
I write more. Check it if you have any guts left. Don’t dismiss it right off the bat, since that’s how people are programmed to do, in this country: http://incogman.wordpress.com/

Sir I understand how much race is prevalent both in today’s society and in history, I merely am suggesting that people like the one’s commenting on the article I posted take time to analyze their thoughts and feelings and try to understand why they have these preset notions about people and how that denies them from connecting to other humans. I disagree that it will always come down to race, if people would only realize that we are all humans and we have all accomplished a great deal, and also all caused great setbacks for humankind then there would be a lot less of this kind of hate in society. I am just advocating on the side of peace, tranquility and harmony with the world and other humans. You may find this to be an impossible goal but that is part of the problem and I am trying to offer a solution; which is form your own opinions, analyze your thoughts and actions, and try to see something from another viewpoint. Peace and love is attainable but only if we set our minds to it. This post may not seem much on the side of harmony, but it is only that I have been advocating this all my life and when I see something like this, it cause me great pain and sorrow.

Hey, that’s the facts of life, man. Hell, you can see this in every school lunchroom or in the vote tallies for Obama in black districts.
Wishing otherwise, actually plays into the hands of people who have accepted race for the facts of life and are callously manipulating you over it, whether you know it or not. Look at the immediate reaction of people to someone like me. They’ve inoculated the public with race issues just so people reject those of their own race and their messages about them! Scary but true.
