Racism Goes Both Ways

Racism Goes Both Ways

When you think of racism, it's always white ganging up on black but sure you never hear about blacks ganging on whites but it does happen. How about a white man getting shot just for driving through the hood one day? In fact there was an instance in my own neighborhood a few months ago. A white woman was driving through the neighborhood and passed a group of African American teenagers and they ended up shooting up her car. She escaped and ran to the nearest building for assistance. She was shot twice but luckily her child was unharmed. Bullets pierced through the second carseat which would have killed her second child had he/she been in the vehicle at the time. You didn't hear THAT on the news, in fact they kept it hush hush completely. Why is that? In fact if it hadn't been through a mutual friend I wouldn't even know about it.

I am not trying to be racist in this post. i'm all for bi-racial couples and children, befriending myself with my own "sisters" and "brothers" of color so this is nothing personal but my main point is not only white people are racist. In fact earlier I was on a controversial post about the actress Zendaya playing Ariel the mermaid in a remake of The Little Mermaid. Now it's all speculation and not a definite event but a lot of people went against it because she isn't white.

My opinion was this:

"If Brandy can be Cinderella, and an Asian man playing the prince when he has a black mother and white father, I don't see any reason why Zendaya can't be Ariel"

There was in fact a version of  Cinderella made in 1997 of this instance. Brandy was Cinderella, Whitney Houston the fairy God Mother, Victor Garber as the King, Whoopi Goldberg as the Queen, and a somewhat unknown actor named Paolo Montalban as the prince. There were also supporting roles, The step-mother was white and there were two step-sisters one black and one white.

My comment seemed to settle the pot of chaos. Many people were upset that some said "no way!" There was even one girl who was getting very nasty with others for stating their opinion and was in a Trump like trance where everyone is a racist when it was in fact her who was being ridiculous with her cruelty.

One other racist thing that drives me nuts is "Black Lives Matter" what about Asian lives? Mexican lives? White lives? Human lives in general? we all matter equally. How is black lives matter not a form of racism? People of all backgrounds are being murdered every day. What about the Parkland shooting. That kid didn't target black people in specific did he? or Sandy Hook, did he? In my opinion being an American is about loving thy Neighbor. When people of your own color are the only ones worth a damn that's being racist and an overall selfish fuck. THE END
