This post is going to be a sharp detour from the normal sharing of experiences in Alaska as I am fed up, worried, angry, confused, and at the end of my tolerance of ignorance, political correctness, and media propaganda. Keep reading if you want be you were warned and if it makes some of you not like me or not read this blog again, so be it.
Enough of this racism bullshit. Enough of this systemic or institutionalized racism propaganda being forced on us by the powerful who want nothing more than complete control and will do whatever it takes to get it including instigating hatred between us. Enough!
Is there racism in this country? Yes. Are there racist people in this country? Yes. Such is humanity, an imperfect species competing for resources just like all other species. There is some degree of racism anywhere there are human beings and the truth is, this country is one of the least racist on the planet. How the hell else do we literally have people here from every part of the world? Will racism ever go away? No, there will always be some hateful people who will hate for some reason be it a different race, class, fan of a sports team, gender, whatever.
I have had enough of being told that I am somehow evil or bad because I am white, especially because I am a white male. I have had enough of being told that white people can't experience racism. I have had enough of being told that I have white privilege. I have had enough of being lectured to by progressive white people, most of whom are truly privileged and have grown up in affluent white neighborhoods, that I am somehow ignorant of what "people of color" experience in America. I have had enough of these entitled, ignorant, politically correct white people. I am sick of white people who have bought into white guilt. Deal with your guilt yourself and quit trying to put it on me, I got over it and I'll give you some advice on how to get over it - THINK!!!! Just think for God's sake!!
Why should I feel guilty about slavery in America? I shouldn't. My ancestors did not live in this country when slavery happened and even if they did, that wouldn't be on me. It was a horrible thing but England and the US ended it and even forced other countries to end it. And guess what? Like it or not, the Arabs and Africans played a huge part in slavery as well. And guess what? Every race has enslaved people at some time in history. And guess what? There is slavery in many, many countries right now and many of these countries are the ones the guilty white people like to defend the most and consist of "people of color" enslaving other "people of color".
Enough of the saying "people of color" as well. Doesn't anyone else see the idiocy of this phrase? If a person called a black person "colored" or a "colored person" they would be considered uncouth at the least and potentially racist at worst but switch the words around and throw an "of" in there and you are an enlightened, politically correct white savior. What happened to judging by the content of one's character and not the color of their skin? Wasn't that MLK's hope and dream? Well what the fuck people! Now we talk about skin color more than ever in my lifetime!
I'm so sick of self righteous white people who are so race conscious but get uncomfortable and awkward as soon as a non white person is in their vicinity. But I do enjoy watching them fumble and bumble around trying to act some way that they think is showing how unracist they are. I have had enough of entitled white people telling me that I am racist if I relate a story of my early life in Alabama because they are so experienced from their lives in the suburbs or maybe had sex with a black guy once in college.
There are good people of every race and shit people of every race, that's the reality of the world. Racism exists and always will and every race is guilty of it, not just white people. By the way, speaking of white people, I recently did the Census and learned that "white people" include Lebanese, Arabs, Egyptians, Morrocans, and other Middle Eastern and North African people. Evil white people!!
The current riots are not about racial justice or police brutality, they are a deliberate attempt to destroy and overthrow our society. There is not a problem with police murdering black men in the streets. There are bad individual police, there are terrible circumstances, bad decisions, tragic situations but no intentional, deliberate execution of black people by police. Please visit this website from the not even close to right wing newspaper The Washintgton Post and read the actual statistics.
I'll give you an example: in 2015, 259 black people were killed by police compared to nearly 6,000 black people killed by other black people. Where is the problem here?

Get over yourselves white people, the world doesn't hinge on you and your guilt. We are all people. Doesn't matter our skin color, what matters is who we are individually. All races have a history with awful atrocities in it but we learn and move on. Do we expect the Mongolian people of today to pay reparations and feel guilty about the Khans? Do we expect the Tlingit to live in guilt for enslaving Haidas, Tsimshians, and many other less powerful tribes?
Get over your white guilt that has been indoctrinated into you over your life, it's not helping any race.
