Just think: Right now someone somewhere is thinking they’re superior to an ENTIRE RACE of people just because of slight genetic and geographical differences. Many a night they go to bed consoling their various failures with thoughts of “welp, at least I’m not a dirty ______!!” (fill in the blank with despised race of your choice).
Racist or just good clean fun at the expense of a few billion Asians?
I seriously doubt that you (the reader) are a racist and I don’t think many segregationists peruse this blog, snickering over my biting remarks, but that doesn’t exempt racism from my scorn and mockery. The absurdity that racism still exists reminds me of the time a friend seriously asked me “are there really still racists out there?” He truly didn’t think there were. Part of the confusion came when I told him the satirical racist jokes we make to each other shouldn’t be repeated in public. Upon swearing to him I KNEW there were racists still out there, he questioned whether these people were just kidding and I was being overly sensitive to their “jokes.” His view may seem naïve, but if your social-circle embraces rational thought and avoids trashy people/places, it isn’t so ridiculous. That night, I took it upon myself to convince him racism not only existed, but was still embarrassingly rampant (anyone here with racist parents?).
The deserved fate of the "Chop Suey Specs" inventor
Sadly, there are many instances where blissfully ignorant people get mistakenly punched in the dong. You see, racism is just a joke to them; they’re just kidding when they say the wrong off-color comment to the wrong person (i.e. doing an otherwise innocent vaudeville number, but in blackface); thus, many sore dongs are had. Of course later, while leaking penile blood, they’re still unable to fathom why the joke pissed some people off– as if anyone would seriously be racist!
As stupid and self-evidently wrong as it is: True racism is still present. The same satirical jokes you make, someone else says and means it. Despite school, simple reasoning, and evolution there are those who only acknowledge the world through their own small lives and poor perceptions. Compounding this is the multitude of people who are walking stereotypes, openly embracing whatever label most easily suits them. This further fuels narrow-minded generalizations by providing abundant examples of their ill-conceived opinions. Then there’s the jack-offs so in love with their culture and heritage that it must be superior to every other. I mean c’mon—we grew up on sweet tea and microwave chicken pot pies and they grew up on rice and egg rolls… We’re clearly superior to them….
This sort of thinking is worse than irrational to me; it’s zealously insane. I mean, I’m white and can’t imagine thinking about “my kind,” from affluent businessman to toothless meth-head scum, and then reflecting: “at least we’re better than Mexicans!”
I only relate to people who look like this guy.
or some such nonsense. OK, I understand that in “ye olden days” all we knew were our “kin” and lived in piss-smelling towns with less than 20 families who were all the same color. Then, across the way (often called “yonder”) was a poo-smelling town with a group of folk who looked soooo different than us (i.e. their hair’s black whereas our hair is brown; their eyes are grey whilst we spell it “gray,” etc.). Of course, worst of all was the dreaded difference of skin hue (oh noes!). No matter we were all virtually the same biologically and how often or how well we tanned could blur the color divide, those people were different and that is pee-the-bed scary! Oh and albinos screw everything up, it’s impossible to tell what they are, so they’re hated even within their own race. Screw those freaks.
There are so many racist people and they all happen to be of the superior race, isn’t that a coincidence? It makes me wonder if there are any racists that have weighed things out and decided they’re of the lesser race. At least their view would amuse me.
Of course with any discussion of racism it’s customary to bring up the fan-favorite, the Ku Klux Klan. Personally, I think they should have kept the “L” constant in every part of the name and been the Klu Klux Klan because it rolls off the tongue better (go on and say it out loud– although it kind of makes them sound like they solve mysteries.
I'm more suspicious of the artist than Jews after viewing this.
Perhaps their slogan could be “The Klu Klux Klan is on the Kase!” Or how about a book called: “The Klu Klux Klan and the Burning Cross Conundrum.” Or how about the double feature: “The Klu Klux Klan Civil Rights Mystery and the Case of the Missing Slaves”). Honestly, does anyone outside of prison (where I imagine they mostly are) take the KKK seriously? And do they still hate Jews along with blacks because that’s always been extra unclear to me. It seems a bit hard to really “spot” a Jew these days, it’s not like they’re blatantly sporting Star of David tattoos, betting on back-alley dreidel spinning, or serenading strangers with random verses of “hava nagila.” I wonder if aliens showed up on Earth and looked just like white people how the KKK would react.
If you can't speak Earthling, go back to Mars!
Aside from probable confusion with associating the word “alien” to always mean immigrant, I truly think if these aliens acted like “good-ol-boys” they’d be more accepted than blacks or Jews. “You may be from Myrxtlitax, but you’re a whiskey-swillin,’ bear-wrestlin,’ country-boy at heart, so you’re ok by me… Now them Negroes on the other hand, I just don’t get ‘em and so I HATE ‘EM…! Let’s hang ‘em!”
I must now consider where racism will go from here. I mean, all the races are intermingling, so what now? How far will racists take it? Do you think someday there’ll be people that don’t like others who aren’t at least part white or something like that? “You’re an eighth Jew; then you’re alright… But that 1/4th Mexican who tried to join us, what the hell was he thinking?! Burrito-brained quarter-breed… that’s just like ‘em. Just like all of ‘em”
In my opinion, when one is fully over racism it becomes a joke (just like how witch burning is funny—well to some of us).
I bet this kid grew up to be a barrel of laughs, loved by family and friends alike. Little Douchebag.
I know racism is sad and people are maimed and killed daily because of it, but it needs to be mocked until there’s nothing left but satirical, snide impersonations of how racists used to act. To do my part and help in the effort, here’s a link to a webcomic I made called Super Harriet Tubman. Oddly enough, if you’re offended it’s either because you’re a racist, or you’re unknowingly enabling them by being overly sensitive about racial satire. You racist. There, now I win.
In the end, it boils down to this: people suck so much individually, how can you possibly want to limit your chances of getting close to anyone regardless of their race or background? I hate people in general because they’re irrational, selfish, and content to stay as such. Thus, every day I wish to meet people that are the exception and as with all things exceptional, they won’t fit preconceived stereotypes.
I think this picture sums up the issue.
Love could end racism, but for me it was a broad hatred of all the races equally, including my own. We all suck in our own individual ways; now there’s an equality that’s easy to believe in.
End.
Ahahahaha! Viva la Raza!!!!!!
