I am a United States citizen. Born and raised in America. Home-grown. You get the idea. My dad raised me to be color-blind yet love every color. To be globally aware and yet blind to geographical boundaries. One race. The human race. Naive, you say? Yes, maybe. Ignorant? Fuck off.
I only learned of racism after my father died. He could no longer protect me from the ugliness in the world. I was sixteen. I couldn't understand it then, and I still don't understand it now. I managed to stay away from such hatred and live my life the way I like it. Color blind. Yet, now there is an awareness of possibilities... and I loath that.
I learned of hatred of my country and therefore me by default was when I started surfing the web. The anger I read when Americans were concerned shocked me. To hate by geography. This was something alien. I love my country. But that doesn't mean that I dislike any other country by default. What I am learning on the web is that not many other countries have the same vocal civic pride. Therefore, Americans are looked upon as boastful, arrogant, bullies. You have no idea what a shock that is. Every time I state something positive about my country, I have been reminded that there are other countries to think about also. Damn it! My country is being 'Politically corrected' to death and now this? I do not view my country as superior. I do not need to be 'knocked down to size'. I see eye to eye in a global way. What I do not know I wish to learn. I think people, not countries, need to accept that we have our own traditions too. Instead of shoving everyone else's down my throat... stop. Put us in that pile of different countries with different backgrounds, and then accept that we are just like any other country. But I don't need to be told that I can't talk about my country without involving everybody else's, lest I be viewed as arrogant. I should be allowed to talk about my country. What other people don't get is that they are welcome to discuss theirs. Not in a I'm better than you because bullshit manner. Rather an enlightenment of what is great about where you live. Just a positive conversation. Those still exist, don't they?
This distaste for a whole Country is mind boggling. When I started surfing the net I had this 'It's a Small World' outlook. I'll never be able to go on that ride again. I keep visualizing those little dolls in a brawl. Fake hair pulling, beads and cloth flinging around. [*shivers*] Like a G-d damned Stephen King story. Why the rant from hell? Some Canadian guy called me a cunt because of my statements on the war. Just another fucker racist who thinks that because I am stating views about my country [where I live, asshole] and not including every single other country down to some obscure island of tribes that don't even know of our existence, that I am acting superior. Here is the final word on that, asshole. fuck off. Keep your racist views to yourself. If you are ignorant enough to hate because of the location of the ground beneath my feet then you are as lowly as those terrorist who murdered people because of the ground that they stood upon. Go crawl back beneath that rock and stick to conversing with the bugs that happen by. I pity the bugs.

New survival guide explains how to have sex in an airplane toilet, among other nifty facts. *flip, flip, flip, flip* Huh? Oh, I'll get back to ya. *flip, flip, flip* .... Psychologist claims saunas cause stupidity. . No, they camouflage underwater farts. Ummm, or so I am told.....
