I simply cannot understand how anyone who claims even an inkling of intelligence can still be a racist. Really, it's not a matter of comprehension, it's a matter of the fact that they cannot. Racism and intelligence are mutually exclusive entities. So now that I've established that all racists are morons, perhaps I should start spelling words phonetically so they have a better chance of being offended when they read this. By they way, if you are expecting a completely impartial assessment of Racism, you're not going to get one. I hate the Neanderthal mentality that racists spew. Perhaps you might think that I'm being hypocritical by saying that I hate racists. If you'll pull your own head out of your ass you will see the distinguishing characteristics that would separate me from them. I don't blindly hate someone simply because they were born. I hate someone because of their views towards this world. Granted, I don't even have to meet someone that's racist to know that I will automatically hold disdain and quite a bit of venom for them. To tell you the truth, I hate all forms of self inflicted stupidity, racism is an easy thing to focus on.

I've heard all the stories about people rationalizing racism. "I (my mom, sister, close relative) was raped by a black guy", "I used to get beat up by black guys(girls) all the time for no reason", "Some Japanese guy got a scholarship that I applied for just because he was Japanese and they had to fill a quota.", etc. Fuck you. Fuck all the people who think like that. I've felt injustices poured onto me from members of every race. Of course, I didn't think of that as a litmus test of every member of that race. But then again, I'm not a moron, either. I often joke that I can find enough wrong with a person that I can hate them all on their own standing, without any need for even looking at their race. I don't think any person can honestly say that every member of a said race did them an injustice, and therefore any hatred for an entire race is, at the very least, unwarranted.

From what I gather from documentaries and news clippings (which I grant are probably written by the biased liberal media [not my words], and probably have a slant of being against racism it being politically correct and all, but since I'm not one to be found hanging around in Klan meetings and the such, they are my only source of information), several hate groups believe that racial cleansing is necessary. I agree. I believe that all people who hold genocidal beliefs should be sought out and executed on the spot. Slowly. Now, I haven't started doing that, because the groups would then have a martyr, therefore increasing membership in their 'hate' groups. Couldn't have that. See, I believe that there are quite a few people who would gladly join a hate group if they felt it was a winning team to be on. I see it in every situation I get into regarding a racial subject.

Being white, I see a side of 'closet' racists that most people wont ever see. And being male (sadly not land owning, or I could have voted in the 1900's) sexism as well. If someone believes it to be safe, they will begin spouting their propaganda at me ("So the other day I was cut off by this nigger...", or one co worker of mine trying to be cute, "the Dry Back Challenged.."). Quickly do many people find that I don't belong to their club. Being, as I am, quite confrontational, I quickly bring to the attention that I don't agree with their views, and attempt to have any thing like an intelligent discussion about why they might hold those views, and, being as most racists are, scared paranoid children, they quickly back down. Occasionally I do find a racist with some balls, who will try his/her best to debate a losing argument with me about racism and why his/her views are justified, but don't.

We have a society based on competition. That's healthy enough, as far as I'm concerned. Now, the biggest governmental complaint from racists that I hear is about affirmative action. I think it's bull shit too. I don't think anyone should be forced to be biased in their decision for hiring or in any other way. I think is should be based souly on skills or qualifications. I do however, think that since racism is so thoroughly widespread, that to a point it's necessary. It shouldn't be. And hell, to tell you the truth, if it was an advantage for me, I would complain just a much. If I thought someone hired me because someone else was forcing them to, I wouldn't take the job. Equal terms. Of course, The other main argument is the scholarship argument. That they have 'black only' scholarships and if you try and make a 'white only' scholarship, your organization is called racist. You can apply for any scholarship you feel you want, they cannot discriminate based on race just as anyone else cannot. You can apply for the NAACP Scholarships, and they will take you seriously. Hell, if you want, for race you can even check Black. In fact, as far as the census bureau goes, they'll let you be whatever you mark down on the form. You can look like Snow White and talk like George Plimpton, but if you want to be a Fiji Islander, by God you're a Fiji Islander as far as the census bureau is concerned.
