Is it a Nazi day of celebration or what? I'm at home today and obviously watching TV. I love The History Channel. It seems that everything they have on is about American/modern day Nazis. It's fascinating to learn just how deep Nazism runs in our history. And we still have a problem with racism today, on both sides. Everyone knows about the KKK, Neonazis, and Aryans as they did terrible things to innocent people. What everyone seems to overlook are simple things like Jet magazine, and The Ace Awards (the only ones I can think of off hand - I'm not singling anything/one out).
I don't have a problem with anyone being proud of their race/culture. What I do have a problem with is when someone complains about someone else having pride (like I am now I guess?). You can have The Ace Awards, but don't have a White/Italian/German/Indian American Award because that would be wrong. It seems as though Americans put down one type of people to give back to a people they previously put down.
Again, I'm not someone to say you shouldn't do this job or that job because you're this or that. I feel it completely intolerable to lower the standards so someone can get a particular job. It was a few years ago that they wanted women to become firefighters, but the women who took the test failed. So they sued and the women were given extra time and assistance during the test (someone would help the women carry the hose during their run and they did not have to do it in the same time as the men). I don't think it right to judge someone on their looks (color/age/sex/race/religion), but you shouldn't give someone "bonus points" for their looks either. If you can perform the task/job then fine, but don't ask for special treatment.
Enough of this for now. I don't want to make everyone think I'm a racist, I get enough of that from my looks. I'm 6'0", white, and bald. I keep getting ,"Are you a skinhead?".
Till next time.
