You know what really pisses me off? People down voting my flash cause I'm black.
That was a joke.
But all joking aside, I wanted to post something on the issue of racism. This is really a stream of my thoughts.
I've been visiting the Website of Stormfront.org, and it's really been wracking my mind. I'm black, and the people on SF blatantly hate me and everyone else of African descent. If you ask why, they'll flaunt statistics in your face. They'll bring up history. They'll say Africans haven't contributed to the world in any way. It makes me feel mad and sad at the same time. Why can't I just dig up some great African contribution to the world from the back of my head. Why can't they accept everyone in the world as individuals? I've done nothing to harm them but once I told people on the website I was black I was shunned out.
I mean, I can't deny it. Black people do have a tendency to crime more then other races. Very few communities in America have a black majority and are not excessively into gang culture. Could I say that the white man keeps up down? I could, but that wouldn't mean anything. Facts are facts, and that's all that people from SF flaunt in your face. (I'm using Stormfront as generalization for all White Supremacists)
Is it fair that just because I was born black certain people hate me. No, and I accept that as the way things are, but still. I spoke to a Neo-Nazi a while ago, and the first thing he told me to do was get a job, not knowing anything about what I do or who I am. I actually came to him looking for him to do sprite work for one of my sponsored games. He told me he was a neo nazi and I told him I was black and he went into a rage.
I dunno, I just think it's so stupid for people to look into race like that. I mean, people on SF seem to let race rule everything they do in life. One guy said that he wasn't happy with his life because he had a child with a woman of a different race. Then he turned around and agreed with someone who said that anyone who isn't 99% white is a "mud". I mean, hypocrisy at it's finest. But then he goes back and says that he loves his daughter and that he's showing "White traits'
I was born in a majority black town, and I never got into Hip Hop culture, into gangs or anything like that. It's like it all just floated over my head, I still don't listen to much Hip Hop today. But just going back there feels so much different then where I live now. I don't want to say it's dirtier, but it is. And I just can't deny it, that the place where I grew up isn't as good as I want it to be.
Letting the comments of people on SF get to me is really just what they want, but I can't help it. I don't feel inferiority, cause I know that I, as an individual, am no better or worse then most people. But African American's as a whole could do better on crime statistics. I wish I could just go and tell people to shape up, and they would.
I was watching a show of the boondocks the other day about Martin Luther King coming back to life and guiding black people in the right direction, and I wish I could just make some smart comment to get people on track, but I can't. And it's fustrating. The most I can do to show these people that the black race doesn't spawn crime is to do well myself, and live my life to the best of my ability.
Go there if you want to read more. I hope no one gets converted to their way of thinking by this post.

I liked your beginning joke.
