Black and white.

I manage a privately owned breakfast restaurant. I was recently transferred to a new store. Today, I found out that my General Manager is a follower of a white supremacist group. Rallys and all. At first I was surprised, really, that that sort of ignorance still exists in this day and age, but not really surprised. Which led to this thinking.....really... what is white? Native American? European? White skin? I don't get it. I guess that they would think me ignorant, and in this case, I prefer to remain ignorant to that way of thinking. When I told my boyfriend( and yes I will tell everyone every chance I get, you better be prepared to own that way of thinking and be proud of it fuckers) he got mad. I told him what I told her.

"I'm sorry that your boyfriend feels that way, we could blame it on the fact that he has been in and out of prison since 18, or his prior heavy drug use, but really it is you that I feel really sorry for, for following such and ignorant man." Really, I didn't tell her that. But I wish I would have.

I guess part of me fears the confrontation, and part of me just really feels sorry for people like that. That there main concern in life is the color of there skin, the color of other people's skin, and the logos that they put on there clothes to announce it. I don't have a problem with being proud of your heritage(Italian and proud of it babies) but do you really have to hate other people for theres? Something that they are born into and have absolutely no control over? If one of these "white power" people actually sat down and thought about it would that make sense? Or are they just so entrenched in there own hate and ignorance that they wouldn't even consider the thought that there way of thinking is not only wrong, but complete and utter stupidity. Sad really. That's all.
