I need to let my late night frustration out. Aaaaaaah!!!! Today I realized that there is something that I do hate, discrimination. And it 's not so much discrimination against color anymore, it's against classes.
I went to have a beer with Erika and the most big headed drunk man came and sat right next to me to talk. He was drunk so I went along with the meaningless conversation you would normally have with a drunk stranger when suddenly he snapped his finger and yelled "hey" to the young Hispanic woman cleaning the tables. He wanted a light for his cigarette (eewh). I was appalled by the way he treated her and demanded that he give her an apology. Of course he didn't, idiot. And his friend was not any help either. JERKS!
I realized that discrimination is very prevalent still today, but it has shifted a little. Now it's not just about the color of your skin. It's more about what position you hold and how much money you have. Whether or not they can pronounce your name or what label of clothes you wear. How shallow!
I hate this.
I love people who are different than myself. They are beautiful and unique. I have a lot to learn from them. Who cares if I cannot pronounce their name properly, I will try. If there is a language I cannot speak, I will try to comprehend. If there is something I can give, I will give and not demand. I think our society has it all backwards. Lord forgive me if I ever judge or discriminate another. That is not what I believe in and not who I want to be.
As for those idiots....aaaah, whatever. I will not worry about thier ignorance.
