| i had the day off today. a rarity as of late. so i stayed in, relished in uncleanliness, ate nachos and watched parts one through five of Roots: the next generations. i had previously seen the original Roots miniseries a few months ago. these kinds of movies make me angry. they make me angry at the evil white people depicted in them. it's sad because my not so extended family consists of people who think just like those fucking racist good ole boy bastards. i'm shamed to have people like that in relation to me, who say things like "that's mighty white of ya." it's times like these that i swear to myself that next time i'm around my ignorant relatives i will challenge their asinine comments and their antiquated views. i don't know how they can say such things; they don't know anyone outside their race, not closely anyways. how they can justify views on people they know absolutely nothing about is beyond me. all of this, and yet they claim to be christian. i think i shall let them have it next time the opportunity presents itself. someone has to do it. might as well be the weird nephew. they already think i'm gay because i don't own a truck or take part in the senseless slaughter of deer to "keep the population down." i think there needs to be a redneck population control measure. then i'd sport camo and a gun rack for sure. i usually stay quiet when talk of politics or religion come up; i know they won't understand my views anyway, i've tried. for example, not that it's an "issue", but to illustrate my point, my dad asks me, rather patronizingly, why i eat tofu. "that stuff is disgusting." i retort with "well dad, have you ever EATEN ANY?" "no i haven't. it's disgusting." need i say more? i should go to bed. wake me up when humanity has come to its senses. |
