#verge learning about dumb human racism

[verisimilar-entropy]

Everytime i picture verges human disguise i think of this nonbinary journalist youtuber that i watch... 👉👈 sorry for being chronically online woke,, (not really, dead domain is based)

Its mostly a voice and vibe thing imo that matches up with verge, every time i see verge i envision them ☝️ so

teehee heres what it would look like in my head if verge discovered a cow for the first time in Oregon

This headcanon feels a little, strange to slap on because a youtuber is different than a "celebrity" or an "actor" or even "va" some professions and positions get varying levels of safety and privacy sorry if it sounds like im skirting sounding cringe or a disclaimer, i mostly dont mean any disrespect on a real persons image that just does documentaries. i watch a lot of their stuff as well as listen to a podcast, prob only real correlation but still— faceclaims and fan casts can sometimes be morally gray is all nevermind the little ramble

Cultural Racism

The events over the last several months have left me wondering. Is there really that much racism in our beloved country, enough where everyone is racist? I read a quote that said “if everyone is racist, than no one is”. How true can that be? How true is it that everyone is racist? I’ve pondered these questions and the following is completely my own opinion, not based on any research study or polling, but by simple observation. I consider myself to be a pretty good judge of character and this is where my opinion is based, solely in my ability to read people. Because I have acquired that skill, either by birth or experience, or a little of both, let me preface by saying I am a misanthropist. What that means is that I have a general contempt for humans and human nature and nothing, absolutely nothing, brings that feeling in me to the forefront more than social media. That being said, this is about racism, xenophobia, secularism, nativism and my perception of culture. I’ll save the social media rant for another day.

I do believe that racism exists in our country and throughout the world as we know it. I do not believe that it is as rampant of an issue as is the perception of racism due to cultural influence is. I’ll try to touch on each point as coherently as I can. If you know me, you know my mind wanders like a desert nomad without a compass.

Today’s so called “progressives” have strayed so far away from the traditional democrat platform that they should break off into their own political party. That being said, the traditional democrat party is on the verge of being lost in the fog of progressivism, socialism and communism (yes, there are significant differences between them), but they are all inclusive in the house of democrats. Don’t get me wrong, I find plenty of fault with the republican party as well, beginning with the separation of church and state (or lack thereof) as well as the promotion and protection offered to big corporations and the rampant insider trading that any of the rest of us would get arrested and prosecuted for… again though, discussion for another day.

There is a group of people, be it millennials, progressives or what have you, that by far do more damage to the reputation of the group as a whole than then help. Protesting the president just because you don’t like him is a colossal waste of time and completely hypocritical. This group is solely responsible for election of Donald Trump, and now they’re mad about it. When you are a white progressive who is in college at an ivy leave $40,000.00 a year college, but you’re protesting against white privilege, you are in fact a hypocrite. You have the right to state your opinion, but you have no credibility, so your opinion weighs less. You call everyone racist, when in fact you have no idea what it’s like to be a minority, you have no idea what it’s like to face those challenges and that makes you a hypocrite. Not only that, but your level of self-hate an embarrassment not only to your own race, but your species as well.

I understand why black people hate white people. History. However, it’s just that… history. It’s time to live in the now and accept the fact that race isn’t as important of a factor as culture. Not to be confused with nationalism, you can come from Ethiopia or Somalia and have east African culture, no one wants to take that away. The culture I’m talking about is learned, taught and passed on from generation to generation. The hip-hop culture, gangsta culture, urban culture. The cultural issues that teach youth to hate based on skin color, teaches young impressionable minds that it’s ok to sell drugs and kill people over it, it’s ok to beat and rape women, it’s ok to not work, it’s ok to not contribute to society, it’s ok to be a thug, when it fact… it’s detrimental to society.

Racism isn’t promoted by who is president, it’s promoted by the perception of people.  It’s promoted by people who can’t change their way of thinking, it’s promoted by people who have been conditioned to hate by generational influence, biased media and social media. The biggest problem with the internet is that people believe everything they read on the internet and a majority of what is posted on social media is just untrue. Not only is it untrue, but malicious in nature. We need to change the way of thinking and that’s not only a monumental task, but fundamentally impossible. When people take fake news stories and believe them with all of their heart, you can’t change their way of thinking.

Today’s generation has been programmed that everything should be politically correct, no one should have their feelings hurt, everyone should be on a level playing field and everyone should get the same reward regardless of how much or how little effort you put in. The 18 – 21 year olds in 1945 fought in World War II in horrible conditions half way around the world. 18 – 21 year olds in 1968 fought in the Viet Nam conflict in terrifying conditions again, half way around the world. 18 – 30 year olds today live in a bubble of comfort. Starbucks, free wi-fi, 40mpg cars, drive-thru restaurants and every other lazy convenience they can imagine. They haven’t seen world war, they have only been witness to 9/11 and the aftermath, which has been sugar coated by the media. They have no idea how much of an issue the middle east is… they live in such a comfort bubble that they refuse to believe that there are billions of people around the world who: don’t have clean running water, hot showers and flushable toilets with water treatment plants that control and kill disease, don’t have a Starbucks or Walmart on every corner. Don’t have access to education, don’t have access to doctors, lawyers, police or other things that keep them safe. Most people in other parts of the world hate us for our arrogance, ignorance and our broad freedoms that we absolutely take for granted. It’s the liberal progressive who promotes that world-wide hatred. Bottom line.

I would invite any millennial, liberal or otherwise “educated” democrat to spend an extended period of time in Mogadishu or Aleppo, Kandahar or Tehran. By all means, please feel free to visit the “happy places” too, like where socialism “works” like, Helsinki or Caracas. I would implore these kids to live like these people do before you spout off that we should follow their examples. Nothing in this world is free, nothing. Ever. Someone has to pay something for everything. If you want to keep looking back at the examples of our previous generations to make your point… like slavery, the civil rights movement, then you MUST also look back on the work ethic, the commitment to community as well as the desire and will to succeed through hard work and education. You MUST change the culture of hate and violence that thrives in urban areas and you MUST open yourself up to a 50/50 view of liberal and conservatism in order to make this work. No one can please everyone, no one can support whole heartedly the extreme left or the extreme right without making some concessions. It’s the millennial mentality of “I was raised getting my way, getting everything handed to me on a silver platter and now that I have to do it myself, I can’t cope”. So then they riot and protest, which is just an adult temper tantrum because they didn’t get their way. They throw out names like racist, xenophobe, misogynist and the like, not really understanding the meaning of those words. It’s a sad America we have created and what’s more sad than that is what it’s going to take to unify us once again.

We spend too much time medicating kids and not enough time disciplining them. We have grown lazy and just do everything for our kids instead of making them to some of the work. We hand our kids money, video games, cell phones, lap tops, and everything their little heart desires, but that doesn’t make you a good parent, that makes you an enabler and creates a generation of dependents. We don’t teach, we don’t discipline, we don’t guide. The mess we’re in is our fault, not the dumb ass kids that don’t know any better because WE FAILED to teach them.
