Where does time go?

October 13th, what a splendid day to be alive.

I realize that sometimes you can't keep track of your life, especially as I get older myself. I realize that I don't want to keep track of most of the things I do. I would rather burn a hole through my memory without the use of alcohol. On the other hand, why not have that story to tell buddies later in life? "I was so drunk I..."

Things hurt sometimes. I'm under the impression that Racism is the same pretense as trickle down economics..

You have layers of wealth where the money/income starts high and drips below, from bill gates to that homeless guy on the street corner. I think we've learned lately trickle down economics are failing. Ask Obama about that one.

Anyway, Racism is a trickle down economic.

You start a few generations back. I'm 22, so take my grandparents for example. They are extremely racist, screaming profanities out to whomever, whenever the feeling hits them..

Now my parents grew up with this and learned through social acceptance that this behavior is okay, at an early age. Eventually they hit the 70s/80s and realized through public outcry this is unacceptable. That gut feeling has been instilled that it's okay, just not publically.

Next Generation: The parents will make slight comments that seem racist.. The whole.. "Joke about racism and unemployment" or aids or what the hell ever they want to joke over. This is what I hear as a youth... Up until the late 90s, early 00' when I hear about Qualified whites losing jobs to Unqualified Blacks based on governmental tax breaks. Here comes the racist jokes!

Social Norms taught me this is wrong, it also taught me that "Nigger" will make me cringe and vomit inside. Not because I understand how much it hurts, but rather because I understand that it is WRONG> What social norm pegs as right, is right, right?

Ask Stan from southpark.. He has a whole episode to learning what the Nword truely means! He never does. That's the point and the moral of the story. White people are stupid about racism, but so are some black people so... We are all stupid about it.

Now you hit my generation. I don't say "nigger" in a negative manner. I don't even really say it at all. Rap is constantly saying "nigga" so apparently at some point the word lost it's meaning. I'm not allowed to be racist now because it is plain wrong... So I've learned. But somewhere deep inside I've had cynicism built into me about black people. I'll laugh at that racist joke, or hear about that black kid that got a full ride into a top school and say, that is fucked up.

It is. But Am I still racist? Aren't we all? Isn't EVERYBODY a little bit racist? (Isn't this a song? You know, some muppets sang on broadway?)

So what about someone you know who has interacial sex, or marriage? Yeah I don't care. More power to that couple. If they have a kid, I hope that kid is not made fun of. When I have a kid, and he goes to school with that milato kid, I hope they are friends. Yeah I'd be thrown off by it, but damn well my kid is learning from all the liberals that it's okay to be mixed.

This is another case of the "I dont know I don't care". Have your interratial sex, marriage, whatever... Don't let me in on the secret I don't care honestly... It's the same idea as homosexuality to the Army. What they don't know won't hurt them.

Hoo RAH!

My my, the racism has trickled down through the generations.. it lessens each generation it reaches. Like that major wealth that the board of trustees makes, for that awesome company........ My poor homeless friend will see a dime, compared to the billion dollars the board makes every year... My kids will see a 1% racism tact, compared to that 100% my grandparents knew.

It's a wonderful world.
