Argh. Black People

I mean. No offense ot blakc people or anything, but steretypes just fit the majority of you so well.
It's statistically proven you commit more crimes.
I've personally noticed most of you are stupid, or project the image that you're stupid.
You do more drugs.
You're cooler looking.
you're 'gangsta'.
You're the only people who's slang could even be considered as a foreign language since it's so complete.

I always felt uncomfortable around blacks. I dunno why, maybe it's cause I'm afraid they're going to beat me up or something. Or steal something of mine.
Which you shouldn't be too pissed off by since I am paranoid about everyone stealing my s**t.

I didn't grow up around a lot of black people, and then I moved to florida.. And, like.. EVERYBODY'S black. I had a huge culture shock for a while there.
The kicker was that a lot of the blacks spoke spanish. That was like a foreign concept. I was like. "Wtf? They ******** up english into this 'ebonics' thing, but they moved onto spanish now?!"

So, since the very few black people I knew back home all fit fairly nicely into the bad stereotypes, I assumed that most or all black people were like them.
Of course, I know that exceptions exist now. I've met a lot some really smart black people. Cameron's a good friend of mine. He's an upperclassman and he helps me out with my project. He's got a family, job, everything. He's black.

But for every one reasonable black person, there's 100 stupid black people. I'm sure it's the same thing for whites, I guess it's just.. less negative. Or.. There's so many whites that 1 smart person per every 100 isn't so small a number.

But anyway, blacks and steretypes and black s**t in general isn't the point.

The point is, because of these stereotypes, I find myself judging blacks really harshly. I don't want to be friends with somebody who does drugs and speaks ebonics and is an a*****e. So I judge extra-harsh when it comes ot blacks.

So when I met a black artist - Kazaa - I tried to stay away from him for the most part.
I talked ot him a few times, but then he suddenly started hanging out with me more and more, asking advice on this goth catgirl(who is white) and his relationship with her.

It's stupid and I don't want to get into it.

But anyway, he comes over all the times and tells me about hima nd Kim(the catgirl) and I really don't care. But I wish he'd shut up.
Idunno. Maybe I AM racist. But he assumes that because I wear a tail I know everything there is to know about furries, so he'll be all like "whats this and this mean" and I'll be like "Zomg she's a CAT. What would it mean if two CATS were doing it?!"

But anyway.
I got drunk a few days back(thursday?) and wanted to be alone. So, like usual, I go for a walk. And I end up at the lake. But Kazaa's there.

I go tot he lake to be alone, but he was there. And I figured... Well. I'm drunk so it shouldn't really impact me that much.
So we talk a little bit, and then I kind of start falling asleep on the grass, and he starts.. well, molesting me, for lack of better wording.

Not his fault, I let him do it. He was feeling me up and s**t. He kept asking if it was okay, and I kept saying 'as long as it's not down the pants I don't care.' Which really I ddin't.. But now that I think back on it... I was drunk, so I shouldn't have been making those decisions.

So everything works out, there is no inpants s**t, and we part and then yesterday... Or maybe it was the same day. I forget.
He comes over to my place. And he's all depressed about his life and s**t.

And since I'm usually the one who's depressed, I'm not used to being in the mentor position. And honestly, I don't understand how you non-emos can take so much s**t from us emos. This is like the, what? 5th time, maybe, that someone has confided in me enough to tell me they were suicidal. And here I am thinking "******** A, I wish you'd shut up."

Maybe it's because he's black.
Or maybe it's because I'm FINALLY stable, and I don't want some black emo pulling me down again from the s**t I so very hard strived to achieve.

At this point I can't really tell.

So saturday, I have to go out and shoot the color theory thing at the lake(for the intro and outro to the vid), and he was there for when I was taping the outro. I said. "Oh. You're here. Trying to be alone?"
He says no, still obviously depressed.
And I say something like.. Why are you out here if you don't want to be alone?
He says he likes looking at water.
And I say "And being alone."
And he says no he doesn't want to be alone.

Well. I, like an avoiding a**, shoot my thing, then it conviently starts raining, so I have to split so my equipment doesn't go to s**t.
I start running off, and he says "You need help carrying it?" and you could totally tell by the look on his face he needed somebody.

I said no.
And ran away as fast as I could.

I am such a racist a*****e. A racist, alcholic, androgynous struggling asexual a*****e.

Today I woke up and you were gone
The whole day wondering what I did wrong
It's like I'm falling from a, a mountaintop
My heart keeps pounding and it won't stop

Can you see this hell I'm living
I'm not giving up

Will you crawl to me
Will you fall with me
I'll never crawl to you
I've done it all for you

Well don't deny
The hand that feeds you needs you
Oh god, I'd die to try to
Finally please you

There goes a piece of me
Will I cease to be
I've never lied to you
Fought, bled and died for you

Well don't deny
The hand that takes you breaks you
Oh god, I'd die to try to
Finally please you

There she goes and I'm on the ground, I'm on the ground, I'm on the
There she goes and I'm on the ground, I'm on the ground, I'm on the
There she goes and I'm on the ground, I'm on the ground, I'm on the
There she goes and I'm on the ground, I'm on the ground, I'm on the


Well don't deny
The hand that feeds you needs you
Oh god, I'd die to try to
Finally please you

Will you crawl to me
Will you fall with me
I'll never crawl to you
I've done it all for you

It can't be that hard could it to imagine the situation.

"Would this guy piss me off with his emo crap even if he was white?"

I never had any problem begin around pepole of other races personally Often i'm so naiive to the fact I often forget it and don't notice until somone asks me to discribe what they look like.

My guess is it has to do with how much a sterotype is hyped up by the general population and how much it appears in the news and stuff then pepole relate that to what they know and see.
Although racism is a very small issue over here predjudice is as strong as ever except it's almost always based on Age And Gender here rather than skin colour.

Back in Georgia, black people were few and far between, so when somebody asked what one of them looked like, "Well, they're black" is the first thing that came to my mind.

But at work, which is where it was mainly asked, nobody ever mentioned skincolor in describing people.
So me, not wanting ot be seen as a racist a*****e, always stumbled when describing black people. "Well, they're, um.. uh.. Short..?"

It's weird because when I try to describe a white person I can't remember how tall they are, their hair color, anything. I just pay attention to what they say.
And although I do have a problem describing black people, it's much less of a problem than whites. I have a much more visual picture of black people, whereas for whites and other races it's mostly audio...al.
