God Had Fun When He Made Different Races

My father is a black man who went through struggles in his time, but I don’t think I have ever heard him complain about it. In fact he rarely complains at all because to him there is no hurdle that he can’t overcome. He is a man’s man. My mother is white and she had to overcome the stigma of marrying a black man. You can’t control who you fall in love with, but that doesn’t mean life gets in any easier when you fall in love with someone from a different race.

Growing up race was never an issue in my house. Dad made white jokes and mom made black jokes. They made mexican, oriental, alien and Klingon jokes as well. It was no big deal because race is so trivial in the big scheme of things that if you want to make a joke about it then go ahead. None of us have an god given rights to make fun of a race while others don’t so why do we pretend we do in public?

If you don’t know what happened with Loren Feldman this month then a quick rundown goes like this: Gets a deal with Verizon to be on their Vcast service. Old video of him portraying a black man is found and black people go crazy and protest. Verizon drops him (which I have no problem with since they are a huge company and like to avoid issues) and now Loren has to consider what type of videos he can do in the future. I don’t need to say much on this issue because Tyme has done it so well already, but come on people!

If everything has been said why write this entry? Well I came across this video and I simply lost it.

(This is the part of the entry where when you read it you will nod your head, but maybe in the comments or a blog of your own you will pretend you are shocked at what I am saying.)

You have to be fucking kidding me. All races piss me off because all people piss me off, but black people. Man. Black people, when they pull this shit I don’t understand it. I just don’t. A lot of the black people who like to speak up now today about racism didn’t live back in the days of Martin Luther King, they just want to use it as a crutch. Sure racism exists and it always will as long as we all look different, but stop pretending you aren’t the same way.

Oh, you haven’t seen a white person do something crazy and thought to yourself that those white people just don’t make any sense? Seen a black man with a white lady and thought why are the white women stealing our men? So many black people want to live on an equal playing field yet don’t allow the field to be made level. This doesn’t go out to all the black people, just the ones who make everyone else look like idiots.

If Obama wins the presidency it will be great to see a black man in office. However, let him be elected because of what he stands for and don’t get mad and try to use the black person will never make it into the White House excuse because once you start doing that you toss out the playing field. We all know some people won’t vote for him because he is black and we know some people will vote for him just because he is black.

Can you imagine being white and having to watch what you say around black people? How many black people have a blacklist (yeah BLACKlist) of words in their head that they can’t say around white people? Hell, most black people I know if I told them to watch what they say they would laugh in my face.

Then we have the black bloggers. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man the black bloggers. 99% of them are wonderful, but there is that 1% who think they can’t catch a break because they are black. You can’t catch a break because you are an idiot. Will Smith. Denzel Washington. Dave Chappelle. Tiger Woods. Obama.

KOBE BRYANT.

If you can do what Kobe has done in the past off the court and still be as popular on the court…well don’t tell me your skin color is holding you back. You are holding you back. Sure your popularity shouldn’t be based on your skin color, but women with big breasts shouldn’t get more views than the small-chested women on YouTube either. Shit happens.

Great people in our history worked hard to give everyone equal rights and it seems we are working even harder now to negate the rights we were given by holding on to crutches that we know we can use. It’s called the Race Card because you use it like a Joker or Ace. You keep it safe and know that you can always fall back on it during the right time.

Ask my mom. Ask Tyme. Ask any of my girlfriends (one word because I love my women :P). I pull the gender card daily because it is funny to me. Sometimes I use the race card as a joke as well, such as “oh you think I can dance and am great in bed because I’m half-black?” You have to wonder what Mike is getting into working with Tyme and me. You know he can’t catch a break.

So when God created man (see I’m not even going to bother with all that Creationism crap, it’s just more fun when you think somebody created us because we are twisted), do you think he (yes he, God can’t be a woman, things would end up perfect then…see what I did there?) asked himself how he could make life interesting? I think first he created different heights, eye color and hair color and figured we would just fight it out right there. But that wasn’t good enough, he needed something more. That is when he came up with the idea of races and let the shit hit the fan. It came as an added bonus that we discriminate over gender, financial status, religion, place where we grew up, attractiveness and other inconsequential things.

The whole scenario is even funnier when you think that God is black.

A couple of months ago I did a video on racism and since it applies here, well I will share it with you.

We are all human and therefore all idiots, but that doesn’t mean we have to continue to prove the point.
