White People and the Culture of Exclusion

 I saw a tweet yesterday where a white girl posted her pic and said something like, "Twenty-one weeks pregnant. Trannies could never."

I stared at the tweet, and stared some more, trying to decipher what could possibly be the purpose of it. A whole-ass pregnant woman infecting her child with poisonous toxic vibes even before they have a chance to leave the womb. What chance does it have?

But then, it keeps hitting me in the face that this is a trend with the mayonnaise people. A black boy knocks on your door, and you shoot him. Kids are playing in a field NEAR your house, you chase them away and then shoot their mother dead when she comes to collect an iPad you essentially stole from them. Ajike Owens' children are left motherless because the white lady didn't like the black kids playing near her house.

Transphobia.

Like, I'm old enough to remember when the only transphobia I saw was men killing black trans women. It was an epidemic. Everyone agreed it was bad. Suddenly, the tide turned led by white women - trans women were stealing their identities...and stuff. Or something. I don't know. But now its a whole thing. Just another way they have to exclude people.

It's not just racial, this exclusion. Yesterday I saw a tweet where a white mother was complaining that her white kid had been barred from eating cake at a birthday party because the mom of the birthday kid did not count them as 'a friend'. They were playing in the same park. It was this one kid and a birthday party. Naturally, she was playing with the birthday party kids. But god forbid, she eat their cake. She wasn't one of them.

Don't get me wrong, people are within their rights to be mean. To be small-minded. To be all these things. But because they also feel that they are the default, the main character, the only ones who matter, they do try and make lives difficult for anyone else. And that is the problem.

The worst part though, is that the other white people who consider themselves to not be full of hate, do nothing to stop it. In fact, they'll tell you how the bigots just need love and understanding and they'll stop. 

Throw the entire race away.

Now watch this post be taken down or put behind a "sensitive" tag.

Boom Boom Boom Boom. Bang Bang Bang Bang.

That song has been ringing in my head ever since last week's episode of Empire...
Anyway...
And it was appropriate for the heading of this post.

So a bunch of terrorists claiming to be ISIS shot up Paris day before yesterday. It was very sad. CNN had updates all day yesterday as a result. Twitter started a hashtag #PrayforParis. Art was drawn to commemorate this horrible thing that happened...
I'm not saying its wasn't horrible. Hell I shed some tears for them. Its sad that people have to resort to this kind of mayhem to communicate. Its Piers Morgan who said though that more people were killed by guns in America in that same 48 hour period than were killed in the entire Paris Attack. Furthermore, the same day, Beirut was bombed. Did CNN mention it? I didn't see it squeezed in anywhere in the 24 hour coverage of Paris.

I guess we can't pray for everyone; we need to concentrate on the important ones. The ones that happen in the West right? Because obviously the rest of us third world dunderheads are used to dying anyway, it's normal to be shot up, kidnapped, bombed, our lives are not as important. Don't we get that?
Anyway, that's a story for another day; I'm not one for banging my head on a brick wall.
This post is about asking hard questions and getting difficult answers.
What is ISIS? Does anyone even know?
We are told that they started in Syria, some time after the world abandoned it, the UN council turned their backs on the possibility of rescuing Syrian citizens from being murdered by the state. They said, "It's not our problem."
Well it is now isn't it bitches?
But really how much do we really know about them? Who are they? What is their leadership structure? How do you confirm that every attack that claims to be ISIS is actually ISIS? Is ISIS simply some big fat boogeyman that the West invented to take credit for any attack that happens on Western soil in order to avoid dealing with the fact that shit happens within their borders and it is their fault? What happened to Al Qaeda? How come they don't exist anymore? Is it like a game of tag and ISIS is 'it' now?
How come ISIS takes all recruits? It's more 'disenfranchised of the world' rather than 'radical muslims'. And how does ISIS even find these people to be recruited. Is there an online form you fill and submit and then 'somebody will contact you at your earliest convenience'? Is there a secret facebook group maybe masquerading as 'Harry Potter Fans'? (the movies not the books). How does it come off as this all powerful, super secret thing which recruits from everywhere but nobody actually knows where and despite the NSA and satellites and shit, nobody ever finds out what they're doing...
I'm more inclined to believe that these guys wanted to blow up Paris for their own nefarious reasons and they planned it and did it and then 'ISIS' take the blame/credit probably to propagate hatred of muslims. That seems more logical to me.
Otherwise why does no one come forth with demands? When people commit an act of terror or whatever there is a reason behind it; they want something. But we're never told what these people want. Why they're doing this. And there doesn't seem to ever be an effort to find out. Its just oh, some guys blew us up; war, kill, bomb...make more radicals. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I'm sick of it.
Stop the hate!

This book is about another kind of hate; plus the power of love...cop it at smashwords below: http://bit.ly/1LmcX1s
