Fuck yeah. every single word. you
I Am Afraid, and Therefore Unquestioningly Obedient.
Vaclav Havel
İ hate racism. There. İ’ve said it. Out in the open. And İ want to draw attention to me using ‘hate‘ in this context. Because by using ‘hate’ İ’m making this an emotional issue. Yeah. İ’ve said something else that can be considered disturbing. İ’m actually making this emotional. Because when you’re a victim of racism, when you’re being oppressed, when you’re discriminated against, etc. then it is very hard to see the rational side of racism and fight a so-called fair war.
Because it is raw. And personal. Because racism as such, goes against everything you are as a person. When you experience racism it immediately attacks you in your whole being. Whether or not your being discriminated against or oppressed because of your skin tone, your ethnicity, your origin or your “super-foreign-sounding-name” it doesn’t matter because it devalues you as a human being into something that no person should ever feel like; unequal and less of a human than anybody else.
And that is what’s it all about. We are all human beings. Maybe the ones giving into stereotypes and accompanying racism are those who are the lesser ones. Maybe a reversed power structure would do much good to see the real evil lurking in our societies.
