Ignorance…

This is a post that I put up a long time ago on another site on accident. Even though the events that led to me writing this have been forgotten because of all the earthquakes and political unrest, I think that it is still something that should be read. Now that I’m reading of some of the really ignorant and hateful comments about Japan, I feel that this is as good as a time as ever to post this. Later I’ll write something about more current events. But I hope you enjoy this one.

I really have slacked on my blog, but I’ve not really kept up on the web lately. But instead of getting into that, I’ll let you know what has rattled my cage enough for me to blog something. Ignorance, racism and just plain ole dumbassery. I keep reading things about the “Ground Zero Mosque”, Arizona laws and looking at really dumb stuff going around in the world today.

I really don’t know what to think about things. Just because Barack got elected doesn’t mean that racist thoughts have gone down. Negative thoughts about Muslims and Latino’s are just nuts. I really get tried of seeing how crazy things are.

Also I was thinking about how racism is not limited to whites. I know this is a no-brainer, but racism is just racism. Remember that evil usually creates evil. Take it how you will, but it is just crazy how as American’s, we (collectively) try to act like we are as close to perfect as can be. That our way of live is the best. I won’t say that I don’t enjoy living in the U.S. of A., but it is ridiculous to act like we are perfect. When someone usually thinks that they are “top shit”, then they usually aren’t. When people act like they are the best, they usually stay blind to their flaws. The same could be applied to nations. It isn’t just America either.

It is just dumb to act superior. We try to use religion as the basis for some of these acts, but it isn’t right to use it as a shield for your bigotry and ignorance.
