Racism comes in different varieties like the flavours of Baskin & Robins ice cream. There's different levels of it. That's the beauty of adjectives in the english vernacular..................................blackface schtick during NYFD New Years parties wasn't an option u could exercise either unlike our PM.
But ur radar still goes up among those heathen races until u discern their character & how they live. It's still passive racism.
"Mo' chicken & blackeyed peas Mista Blowfish?" "BILLFISH not blowfish!"
Mr Mox
"Mo' chicken & blackeyed peas Mista Blowfish?" "BILLFISH not blowfish!"
Are you shitting me ?
My "radar" and "passive racism" ?
Again....are you shitting me ?
I speak the truth learned from hard experience...and it is my
experience that has shaped my feelings
That's
experience, not opinions
I believe in telling the truth and not sugar coating it to avoid offending people, especially those who would want me to feel sorry for people who don't deserve it
And it was my
experience that opened my eyes to the truth
I would invite you to walk in my boots and the boots of the firemen I worked with, you would not believe what we saw and it was this that slammed us with reality
What you also don't know is how much we helped people in many ways, not just at fires and emergencies, but how we fixed the bicycles for kids on the block of the firehouse, gave them food when their "parents" were too fucked up drinking or drugging to even think about feeding them and brought them clothes that our children outgrew, among many other things. We were also friendly with people on the block and knew them by name, like the old timer who lived in the tenement next to the firehouse we used to help up to his 4th floor apartment at night after he came home from the bar
It was the garbage ( and there is a lot of it ) among them that shaped our feelings and attitudes and no amount of your calling it "racism" holds water when you are there and see, hear and experience the reality
Spend a night in some of NYC's worst ghetto neighborhoods with the FDNY or NYPD and get a real world first hand look at what we dealt/deal with and maybe you will understand
"Passive racism"....you will encounter outright racial hatred by the denizens of these areas from people who are provided with money, food, housing, medical care.....
everything, thanks to the hard working taxpayers, while they don't work nor have any responsibilities or accountability for anything. The system....fueled by the taxpayers is there for all their needs.
Go into the housing projects on a Monday morning and see the elevator doors laying in the bottom of the elevator shaft....after being kicked off the tracks by the residents. Or check out how the elevator electrical conduits are so corroded by urine that they have to be replaced....or the hallways filled with beer bottles and trash
The same kind of thugs who got hold of a firehouse dog and hung the poor creature from the elevated subway tracks....the same kind who steal their neighbors belongings after a fire or rob them, rape the women and kill their kids.
Get the picture ?
We had people who were photographers and journalists ride with us and go into the situations we encountered....they were shocked and shaken by what they saw
There are nice people there as well and we always treated them as we wanted to be treated....and these people are the true victims of the trash among them
And there were occasions where we just finished helping some unfortunate person/persons and were exiting a building where we passed a group of young black assholes who thanked us by calling us "White mother-fuckers"
I treat all people the way I want to be treated and you really don't know me or what I've done....I'm a nice guy, but I don't believe in taking any shit nor kissing anyone's ass and I've met and known people from all races, colors, religions...good people are good people, it's the garbage I don't like.
And after seeing how the blacks and their white liberal helpers rampaged through this country attacking helpless people, especially white people, two years ago, you are going to call me a "racist" ?
Or how the blacks can openly call for white people to be killed on TV, videos and in the news media, you still have the stones to call me a "racist".... !
"Racist"...when they openly call white people "crackers" in the media and on TV.....and then call each other "
niggas" ?The greatest danger to black people in this country is not from me or people like me....it's from other
black people and yet you make smartass comments and accuse me of being a "racist"....while sitting at the safety and comfort of your keyboard
I'm going to be nice here and instead of telling you to kiss my Irish ass, or to go fuck yourself, I'll just tell you to open your eyes...or better yet, spend some time in these neighborhoods and experience reality....save your bullshit for someone who doesn't know any better
Until you've walked the walk, you have no idea of what the hell you are talking about
