Continuing on from my posting the post by Kate Crimson, here’s one from jane who has co-incidentally covered a similar topic today, exposing more of the ludicrous bigotry out there.
It’s sad that when confronted with the largest library mankind has ever know, some people still choose willfull ignorance over learning, prefering to push their sordid and ridiculous little petty hate-filled pamphlets in the lobby rather than read the books, and learn perhaps what it is to be human.

this weekend i happened to look on a website for one thing but my eye was led astray by something else. i followed the link and was horrified. i had to go scrounging to find the entire video, so here it is (it isn’t from the original website i was on): final solution for whites. i was aghast that this black man was standing there, in 2005, saying that white people are the problem and need to be exterminated. i thought, hold on, how far have we gone back thinking that the ‘problem’ is based on race? aren’t there just as many non-white pigmentation people who are oppressing people? it isn’t only one race against the other who oppresses. it’s based on class, gender, religion, caste, ethnicity… there are so many things involved (with many of them intersecting).
then, my mind began to try and grapple with this – i decided to do a stumble page that looks at the desire to wipe people out. gender, religion, age, mental status, there are undoubtedly more, but these were the first ones that came to my mind. the desire to wipe masses of people out is such a powerful undercurrent. but what would it accomplish if we wiped out all (pick your group to wipe out) to ‘make the world a better place’: whites, blacks, men, women, elderly, mentally deficient… the list goes on. at the end of it, all we would have would be a big heap of bodies and a bunch of flies buzzing around.
it enrages me to hear this kind of shite. just as it does to hear about the nazi socialist green party, a two extremist group showdown here between the black panthers and the kkk both supposedly spouting hatred for the jewish people. bombs from the far right extremist groups in south africa, the christian identity movement and national alliance . the black panthers.
if it isn’t people slaying each other on the basis of religion, it’s race, if it isn’t race, it’s gender, if it isn’t gender it’s age, if it isn’t age it’s iq…. and what *do* we do with the pesky problems of cross-‘race’/religion children? it will never cease to amaze me how important the pigmentation of skin is to some people. if it is going to be an issue, then take skin samples and analyse it in a lab (and please be sure to get a mixture of part of my freckles and part non – it should be an average i should think – further, more importantly, see that that comment is sarcastic)
humanity is a perpetual powder keg waiting to explode.
