thinking a lot about racism these days,
in part because black lives matters and the on going feud between the two mp's in parliament,
and me being this entitled white guy,
how prevalent do you think it is
and curious is there like micro racism,
comments like rice burner, etc, is that racism
having a bird because the safeway has halalah meat
I must admit growing up, we were all white, I was born in the 50.s ok and everyone was white.
seeing my first turban, was an experience,
I bought a house early on, and it was a white neighbourhood,
now im one of the few white guys in this neighbourhood, and it has been an eye opener,
just my own sensibilities
I remember going to vote, and out of hundreds of people I was the only white guy,
the odd time I catch the bus, I am the only white guy
talking to some Christians guys once they were going on about we have to stop
all the immigrants we have to,
I kind of just looked, he gave me a snooty sort of remark, you want them as neighbours
I told them they all ready are my neighbour's,
walking the dog at night, I hear and see many and I mean
many different languages and cultures ,
and I have to admit, at first it was a shock, an assault on my sensibilities
but we wave smile say hi, exchange a few words.
you know it actually is kind of nice,
all the comments from people I wouldn't live there, and people freaking out because the safeway has halala meat,
are we really as non racist as we think we are,
even black people going on all the time about being black,
to me it seems unless your totally colour blind your a racist,
you see a person, just a person not a black person a white person or what ever, they are just a person
even your self, im not a white person, or a person of colour
im just a person going about my life,
unless your total blind to colour or race, you kind of are, a racist
even all those well intentioned people who never shut up about their black experience,
we were talking about Ramadan it ended yesterday
hey those guys can finally eat, I said
and some hindu guy mumbled something about bombing their synagogue or mosque what ever they use,
I really don't believe were anywhere near as inclusive as a society
and holding hands and singing kom bi ya my lord kom bi ya
as we want to pretend we are,
I don't really get why some people have to ruin a good thing, and bring in race,
