After watching a short video of a recent incident of racism in a high school where kids were being openly racist I have discovered why we are all racist.... still. Race is an open topic in many places here in America, a topic that is not open to discretion for some that is.
In the video students were openly hating black students and there was literally nothing being done about it This is what made me think WTF the most. I certainly remember there being strict rules about racism back when I was in school. But why not this school, how can these kids run wild like animals degrading everyone that looks a little different than them to rubble? Who is to say that we don't do the same behind our own eyes?
If you were among this group of so called "adminstrators" what would you do? Would you dial up your own little way to report things to the staff? Or something a more extreme?
WTF? Why do we allow these people to suffer?
The video is about 4 and a half minuets in length and tells the horrifying truths of school racism. Why must we put each other through this sort of pain? Why? Because we are all scared of each other, scared that one or the other is going to take over and take from us.
So why are we all racist.... still? Because parents aren't educating their kids, or choose not to? The schools aren't doing much to prevent this behavior either. One administrator admitted that their staff wasn't properly trained in this area. How much training do you need to undergo to spot racism and to speak up?
And then I encounter this video. Another "WTF? incident" How about these administrators?
Here is an additional video, a little more light and comedic. Enjoy. It is a bit of stand up comedy from Dave Chappelle about open racism. Understand this is comedy, but imagine the world if this was acceptable. Just food for thought
"I forgot what team I was playing for"
Think about the racist thoughts that people have, what if they no longer just thought those words, but rather said them to your face instead. Remember.... If you are thinking, you should be speaking, and if you are speaking your thoughts, you are winning!
Let's face it, there are really ignorant people in this world. But you don't have to be one of them. Listen not to the man behind the drawn curtain. Remember that thinking is the key to victory. ites, even in spelling.
