Why Race Isn't About Color

It's true, can I start by saying if you think it's about color, not only are you wrong, but you are a true racist. Let me explain.

The white dominated America had a culture. I say had. It was born in Europe and evolved into something from a Victorian society set of rules to the roaring twenties party it up for tomorrow we may die lifestyle. But it was still white. Being white is not evil or should it ever be perceived as being bad or even feeling this white guilt bullshit being pushed in our culture today. What a bunch of weak minded sycophants. "White Guilt." Who thinks this shit up?

Everyone acknowledges that people of color historically came from countries that were not from Europe and therefore economic and educational deficiencies existed. These are passed down more than we would like to admit. But the real issue I take offense to is the fact that these United States are supposed to feel guilty or responsible for it.

Attitudes form culture. The socialist movement is pushing these attitudes and all these corporate entities who promote the socialist cause aren't socialists, they are pandering to the lowest common customer so not be to labeled white privilege. It's all about the mighty dollar, don't fool yourself. The attitudes are propagandized into our culture that America is responsible for all the of world's problems including those who come here legally or illegally. America has been a primary player in worldwide manipulations no doubt thanks to the CIA. The CIA has evolved, but its main goal after WWII was to fight communism and it failed miserably. This agency was filled with pigs and probably still is who think that doing what they do has little ramifications. But the CIA not only has failed, but has created this attitude that America is a bad country with bad policies. The truth is that it's a club of individuals who believe that war and conflict is profitable, but even with this evil truth, it doesn't represent America. You are fooled by the propaganda if you think otherwise.

Social media has provided more truth as well as propaganda, as its more difficult to bullshit a nation under this umbrella of information. However what needs to be acknowledged; people live their lives based on belief, not reason, therefore if you can penetrate that belief system in their brain, you pretty much have them for most of their adult life. Look at terrorism. You can get an idiot to kill himself in a plane because he believes something, not because there is any good reasoning behind it. Pathetic, but eye opening as a society that fights for its right to survive and be free. That needs to be taken seriously. It's haunting.

America has taken an ungodly role of playing Superman to a group of people who didn't come from Europe, who weren't educated and are fundamentally ignored by their own country, and then demand rescuing from the United States. As we populate even further we use tactics that are immoral, making America at fault for the South American, Mexican, African, Middle Eastern incompetence of world history and it's so seriously unacknowledged by ridiculous socialist behaviors of propaganda which has seeped into our youth culture making them actually believe instead of reason, feel guilt, instead of intellectually resolving the big picture.

But let's refocus. What comes into America aren't just problems, but attitudes. These attitudes are weapons used against the very country that is trying to provide them a life. I make no argument that America is a tough place to live. It has many faults and needs to provide a balance of priorities and eliminate the rich man's leverage policies, but it's still the best country for what kind of problems and innovation it creates. Power determines this and in a short period of time America became a powerhouse. Respect that because that is reason, not emotion. But the attitudes are the gun that creates the fight between people of color. Mexicans don't like blacks and blacks don't like Mexicans. This isn't so much about race as it is about attitudes. It's about culture, about how we dress, how we talk, how we act and carry ourselves. "Respect" is a big street word, and it's no mystery as to why. Attitudes cause disrespect as being on the wrong side of the attitude line forms negative and often violent gestures and responses. This is our problem in America and that is not the problem of America, but the very people who come here. We have lost respect for people who are different from us as well as for the very country that provides you this freedom to be dysfunctional. What exactly are you responsible for if not your own attitude? You create how people respond to you, plain and simple. Saying otherwise, you can then go cry in your cereal, because nobody cares. Your parents and socialist education failed you miserably. Ask for your money back.

Personally, I have little experience in racism though I have felt it.  My childhood had some in rather unconventional ways, but I never interpreted it as racism but kids just being dysfunctional idiots, and they were. Those kinds of kids grow up to be ditch diggers. But I do understand how it feels to some extent and for that I am glad. I do come with blinders on just like everyone else. My compassion needs to be developed by personal experience, but I have a rebuttal to this attitude. I understood that the way I speak, carry myself, the types of clothes I wear, determine directly how people respond to me. When you dress like a stereotype you ARE at stereotype, like it or not. Don't get your wardrobe from Walmart, go to Target. Don't dress with emblems like the "Raiders" which implies gang related images, even if you are a Raiders fan. If you care about how people respond to you and how you are treated acknowledge that wearing a hoodie doesn't buy you anything. Don't be a fool. If you want to rebut that, it's your attitude that needs adjusting, not the worlds.

I watched a documentary on OJ Simpson. He refused to join the movement back in '68 when things were heating up because of one simple thing; he was being treated right by the white community. Because of this experience at USC, he didn't feel the need to have an attitude. His needs were being met so he understood at this very young age, "why would I want to stir the pot when the pot is brewing something that smells so good - fame?" Then something very interesting happened along the way into the NFL. He kept smiling, instead of showing attitude and smirking. He interacted with "white privilege" and all was well. He was treated respectfully and he did the same. He was even invited into golf clubs that are notorious for being racist. What it proves is human nature, even white human nature, desires diplomacy and the right to be with others who are different than us, if and only if you demonstrate respect and not attitude. Nobody cares about Colin Kaepernick, I guarantee you. He's not a bad guy, he's just a guy with an attitude. He's a punk in society's eyes. If he wants to change he needs to start using reasoning skills instead of a stupid knee.  It's dysfunctional and he's getting what he deserves because he lacks reasoning skills. Grow up and meet the world like an adult, because the world will swallow you whole. Even OJ figured that out until he turned angry as he got older. OJ's dysfunction was directly related to his attitudes about feeling entitled. Trading Places demonstrated that no matter what color you are, your attitude can suck because of the circumstances and you can do almost anything in order to survive. But what we also learn is those who pick themselves up can do amazing things when they first change that dysfunctional attitude, such as Greg Harden at the University of Michigan or the struggling story of Chris Gardner to provide for his family after divorce. Yes, these are not the norm but deviations due to personal epiphanies, but they are formed by courage and mental toughness, not by God or affirmative action. These are performed by individuals who realized their attitudes were dysfunctional and they weren't providing them results. Once that intellectual transformation took place, they were able to challenge themselves and succeed. Kaepernick is probably an okay guy, but a symbol of why blacks are still pulled over illegally. He's part of the problem, not the solution but the finger keeps pointing at the cops when he has three other fingers pointing back at him. Really ignorant behavior. Cops need to be pulled over, no doubt. They are magnifying a cultural behavior of bad cops who stereotype blacks and pull them over for no reason. But it isn't racism. It's attitude. This is a holistic thought, not one based on a black man minding his own business. But nobody wants to fill the great divide between attitudes of cops and black men in particular. It must not pay much, but its apparent that mexican men and black men own this stereotype because there is an entitlement attitude in this country just like OJ demonstrated after his glorious years were over and was treated with less privilege, then look what happened. He ruined his life not because he beat his wife and later killed her. He ruined his life because his attitude changed. Dominos then follow. That has nothing to do with America, that's called Life, Karma, the byproduct of bad decisions.

But the real truth is do we really want to grow up and face ourselves? The answer appears to be no. People are who they are and they are immature and wish to rationalize their lives then blame their problems on racism and America as a whole. This is why nothing ever gets accomplished in cultural relations because you first have to bring something to the table that represents some level of respect. Taking a knee just doesn't cut it.

It's sad to say that OJ Simpson was and still is your best example of someone using his brain to understand his culture. All of the white haters need to understand that the enemy isn't the white man, that is simply your rationalization for your lack of refinement. You are intolerant excuse makers who wish to live your lives on the blame game, and even if you don't believe in the existence of Karma, she doesn't care; she will find you, and you will pay and pay dearly, because you are the true racist and she has a bill for you to pay for that attitude, and its expensive.

Good Luck.
