Patriot Acts Up

I have realized that during this campaign, something that I have almost always believed. There are a lot of bigoted assed white people. And you know it starts from the top, and tends to work its way down. Now, I know for sure that Black folks are racists, and bigoted. Almost no denying that at all, not from me. Can you really blame us? I mean really? White people for the most part like to sweep the shit under the rug, as if things have been peachy here in the united states for years.

Microsoft word wants me to capitalize united, and states. It can kiss my ass.

I was looking at old civil rights videos, and looking at the days when water hoses were sprayed on demonstrators, banging them against walls. Dogs being sic’d on tenns and people trying to march peacefully just to be seen as equals. And that shit wasn’t even fifty years ago. Crosses still burn on lawns. The word nigger is still painted on cars and houses of black folks. And for what? For being black? I mean what was the purpose really? How in the blue fuck would you hate someone, that you probably have it way better than, in terms of status, money respect, and whatever else there is. I never really thought about it that way. I never questioned as to why. When I did, it makes no fucking sense. What in the hell did any Black people do to these nasty fucking racists?

Are they upset that they can no longer get the free labor, they got for hundreds of years? Are they mad that slavery ended? Sometimes I guess that’s what it is. They are mad not to have niggers busting their ass for free anymore. This sense of white entitlement is just so damned funny.

I was watching more news reports about senator Obama’s pastor, and the words he used on a particular sermon. And you know my feeling on it? So the fuck what. The media and all of these low class idiots sit there and question the man’s patriotism. I mean, if he pissed on Lyndon Johnson’s face while he was a medical tech, during his surgery, then you would have a legitimate claim to question it.

This election makes me sick now.

Integration was the worse ting to happen to black folks in this country. I don’t hate white people for being white. I have white friends. Some even moved on my block.(pun) and I do not truly think that most are racists. It is just the majority of them do not seem to have the common sense to realize where we come from at times. You cant blame them, because they will never know what its like to be discriminated against. Not in the same fashion we are.

Yes, I’m rambling. Sue me.

I had a white friend, a co worker. Real cool guy, we got along great. We went on a business trip for the company, and was holed up out of state for a few weeks. The subject of race came up while we were guzzling 40oz. He was pretty much ghetto as I was, but he didn’t realize what type of opportunity that he had by being white. Now, the reason I was sent on this trip is because I knew what I was doing at the job. I bust my ass everyday. I came in every morning around 6:30am, opened the office up, got the coffee going, made sure whatever agenda for the day was listed on the boards, I mean I did some shit. And none of that was even anything I had to do. I was at work before the managers were. Basically, I worked twice as hard. But here he comes, doesn’t know too much, and asking me questions, and really didn’t care too much about the job, but he was handed some great assignments. I would sit there and drop my jaw at times. It’s funny now.

I tried to explain shit to him that, he unlike me, had a chance to move up in the company. A better chance than I did. He just could not get it. I told them that they sent him down there with me to show him how it’s done. They were grooming him. It didn’t really sink in until I said that shit. I just told him to watch what happens when we get back to jersey.
We get back and a week later he comes to me and says “yo, you were fucking right.” And lo and behold, the dude gets offered the position I had been jockeying for, for the last few months. He wasn’t even there a year yet. Me, there three years by then. The funny thing is that after he got this gig, he hated it. He was in the office training new employees, his feet was on the desks, he was making inappropriate comments to the chicks there, and giving them fools like three hour lunch breaks. One of the managers came to me and told me they think they made the wrong decision. No shit.
This would not be the last time this happened to me. But that there was enough for me to say, wow, some things just will not change.

Its like white people really don’t know how good they have it at times.

Sighs.

The go back to Africa thing was always funny. I mean when someone of another race tells a black person that. That’s bananas. I remember Marcus Garvey had the idea for all the Black folks here n the good ole u.s.a. to get on some boats and go the hell back. It is just too bad that the BOI, that’s the pre FBI, headed by none other than J Edna Hoover herself, indicted the man on bullshit mail fraud charges. I guess they saw that they weren’t going to get cheap labor from niggers anymore and put it to a halt as fast as they could. Sometimes when I think about it, I chuckle at the fact that the government would have sunk the boat as soon as it was in the deep waters.

Patriot. I was a patriot I guess. I joined the Navy and all. I don’t know if I had really noticed racism until I got there. I was only 17 and fresh out of high school when I arrived. I mean the shit was pure and uncut. But my first taste of it came from my company commander, who was from Kentucky, and had a strange resemblance to Hitler. Just looked thinner. I shit you not. So it is early one morning, it is still dark out. And we are lined up, and he calls me Simpson. I reply to him that I wasn’t Simpson, he was right next to me. Quick witted as he was, he says to me; “Well, if you niggers would smile more often, I could see you better when it’s dark.” I don’t think I have ever felt so small in my life. But what really killed me is that it got such a hearty laugh, especially from the white boys, and them southern black kids. Now, I am a quick witted person, I was even better back then. But, I didn’t know what to say. I started to wonder what it was I did. I wondered if I was stupid for trying to correct him. Here I was, one of his best recruits(his words) he had, but I was made small as shit, in a heartbeat. Yes, me the fucking patriot.

I wish I could say that this is the end of my rant.
