Racism, is it really happening or is the media doing its baiting as usual?
I ask this question because all this crap you see and hear on the news, or social media, youtube videos etc etc.. But, I don't see it, maybe because where im from it basically doesn't exists, in fact I have never been able to wrap my mind around it.. Its like trying to understand why someone would stuff there face with food, and then go in the bath room and force themselves to vomit, it blows your mind and you cant possibly fathom it!
Maybe how I been raised and my upbringing, and surroundings, its something that was never mentioned or talked about because it didn't exist.. Of all things in life I could never wrap my mind around this ideology of such hate, so why now (well recent times, past 5-6 years) is it being talked about by celebrities, on the news, speakers, protesters, on and on.. Do I live in a bubble?
Im not saying I haven't witnessed ignorance, but definitely 95% of my life I haven't been exposed to it in person that is...All these movements, and such just blows my fucking mind!
Then I scan through my wife's social media as we share her FB (family page), I rarely ever use it, but I will look at videos and read comments from people and WOW, on both sides black and white there's just utter garbage and trash being said..
As I read those trolls and comments, I'm thinking, there must be a native American reading these thinking "you both feel threatened from one an other"?
You know, I lived all the way up to 40 years old and never had to endure, hear or witness such filth, and now all the sudden its there? I suppose there's just some regions in this country that refused to move on, backwoods come to mind!
I guess I've never been exposed because, we DIDN'T HAVE TO FUCKING TALK ABOUT IT, if you keep talking about it, then its there..
Now I'm reading that Russia is baiting through hacking, stirring the pot?!?!?!
