Day 15-Nah Blop A Mo

I just like saying that. I'm an instigator. Maybe I should have put that in the meme. Regardless, I am. But not in the asshole way. I just like to get things wound up to a frenzy and see what happens. I'll say what peole are thinking just because I know they are thinking it and I want to buy the ticket take the ride and see where we end up.

Currently, I am semi-involved in an almost deeply heated discussion about racism. Due to this idiotic rant I've started up a good ol' heated discussion about racism and race. I spoke on it briefly Here but I thought I might voice a bit more here.

I went to a high school my freshman and junior year that was 80% black so the whites were the minority. My friends were black; we watch the same shows, we went to the same games, we had the same classes. Never thought of it as "them" and "us".

My junior and senior year I transferred to a school that was 20% black and the whites were the majority. This is where I didn't fit in. I had the same type of lingo, slang, attire, etc that I'd had at my old school. I never thought of it as "being black" I always thought of it as "This is me". To this day I've never made any apologies for how I am.

I think to suggest that someone is "blacker" or "whiter" (think, if you've ever hear someone or said 'he's so white' in reference to a black guy) you know what I mean.

Let it go. Let it ride. Judge a man on the merit of his actions. It's not the color of the skin, it's the meaning of his actions.

C'est la Vie.
