Bigotry

Folks, after yet another long break--this time because of a vacation--I'm back in black and I've got another interesting rant for you. In this case, I will deal with bigotry.

Sure, in the past I have said some...politically incorrect statements, and it is probably true that I suffer from bigotry. Come to think of it, I've said some things that would make a relaxed Muslim/Communist who had never been angry in his life explode with rage. And, frankly, I'm not sorry for saying those things at all. I based my opinions on facts and it's my style to be offensive--it gets my point across better. There is good and bad bigotry: good bigotry is based upon facts and events in the past.

The bigotry I don't appreciate, however, is the kind that not only exists with no reasonable explanation, but the kind that stops one from thinking properly. An example of bad bigotry is the kind most Canadians have towards Americans, and the kind I'm sure most Americans have towards Canucks. Having lived in Canada all my life, I can guarantee you that we have an irrational fear and hate of the United States. People as young as twelve here rant on about how the US is evil and how the US threatened to bomb Canada at various parts in history. Of course, on all accounts these children don't know what they're talking about and they're just basing what they say on a collection of "facts" gathered from Wikipedia and the leftist media.

But bigotry against America is not the worst. There are still people named Billy Ray, whose mother, aunt, cousin, niece and grandmother are all the same person, who are horribly enraged with blacks, Jews, and basically anyone that Hitler didn't appreciate. What is the point? Why can't they just come out of their little shells that they've been hiding in for the last few hundred years? Racism is usually completely baseless or totally exaggerated: people who hate blacks probably think that they were responsible for the Civil War (which is laughable), those who are disgusted with Americans probably think that all they want is oil and global domination (which is just plain stupid), and the folks that hate Jews are the same people that hate blacks and Americans, so they have no credibility and are amusingly brainless. Think about it, folks.
