View Full Version : I AM Different (When it Benefits Me to Be So)

Those of you who know me are aware of the fact that MANY things fucking piss me off.


However, there is one that puts a bug up my ass faster than just about anything else.


I absolutely fucking HATE it when a member of a group that is often "discriminated" against preaches about how they are "just as good" as every other member of society UNTIL it comes time for them to "benefit" from the very thing that is the "root" of the so-called discrimination.


First, I'll talk about the "African American minority".

For many many decades, blacks had to fight to be considered equal to whites. Select members of the black race were victims of everything from race based murder to being treated like "animals" through making them use separate "facilities" from everyone else.

Most of these folks wanted NOTHING but to be ACCEPTED by society as a human being.

But, somewhere along the line, another select group of blacks figured out that they could actually benefit from the color of their skin whenever they chose.

For evidence of this in today's society, I point you in the direction of ANY speech by Jesse Jackson (or the like).

Every time he opens his mouth, he spews some bullshit rhetoric about how oppressed the black man is in today's society and how they are equal to any other member of society. Then, in the same breath, he typically goes on to preach about all the little "benefits" the black man should be afforded simply because he is black.

I may be wrong, but isn't that basically saying that the black man is a "special case" who deserves "special treatment"??

And, from there, we move on to the beloved (and oh-so-PC) "African American".

What the fuck?

Just what percentage of the black population living in America has even BEEN to Africa? Much less having been BORN there?

What the hell is wrong with just being a fucking American?

Even better, how can a group be "just like everyone else" when they make every effort to remind the rest of the world that they AREN'T just like everyone else?

I could go on to the bullshit that is "affirmative action", but I don't feel it's necessary.


Another group that is guilty of this same shit is the select group of homosexuals who feel the need to CONSTANTLY remind everyone around them that they are gay.

Honestly, what is the fucking purpose of a "gay pride" parade? Is that shit necessary?

It what way does getting half naked (as some do) and flaunting around town by the thousands exhibit the behavior of the "normal American citizen"?? (By the way, if you are ever doing this in my town and you hear me blasting my horn and yelling "MOVE YOU FUCKING UPPITY QUEERS", it's not because you are gay, it's because you are fucking keeping me from getting to where I want to go.)

And what about the tremendous amount of praise and popularity a "celebrity" gets when they "come out".

Really now, how many people gave a damn about Ellen Degeneres (sp?) before her "coming out episode"??

Chances are, if you knew who Ellen was, you were an insomniac with a passion for the late night stand-up comedy routines that flooded the television channels on Friday night.


Let's not even talk about the t-shirts, bracelets, bumper stickers and other "gay and proud" propaganda that resides in every city within these not-so-United States.



I am all for treating everyone equally but DAMN, why should anyone treat you "fairly and equally" when you go out of your fucking way to remind the rest of the country that you are "special" and deserve special treatment?


It is my personal opinion that the only people ANY of these groups have to blame for the current "public opinion" of them is THEMSELVES.



If you want to be gay, be gay and shut the fuck up about it.

If you are black, be black and proud and shut the fuck up about it.

If you are an American and you want the benefits that "title" affords you, be fucking American and not "Irish American" or "African American" and shut the fuck up about it. Yea, you fucking "European American" assholes fit in there as well.


If you want special treatment then fucking admit it and quit trying to USE "discrimination" or some other fucking excuse to get what you want. All it does is pisses those of us who KNOW we aren't special off.



Sure, there are fucking bigots everywhere these days.

However, they also come from EVERY SINGLE "GROUP" of people around the globe.

There are white bigots and there are black bigots.

Gay and straight.

Deaf and blind.

Handicapped and mentally retarded.


If you want to be treated "just like everyone else" then fucking ACT like everyone else.

Sit down
Shut up
and go about your fucking day!

I am with you on all of your points. You did forget to add a part about not being able to say anything that might upset someone else. Since when have we become such a nation / world of pantywastes? Cant say Ho Ho Ho in Austrailia because it might offend women. Cant draw a picture of Mohamed because it might offend the muslims. You can go on and on about such trivial little things. My god people suck it up. If it hurts your feelings. Get over it.

Americans have such a huge amount of collective guilt is where all this stems from. We're trained to feel guilty about just about everything, and apologize for everything -- even stuff we aren't responsible for!

And it's not just coming from our own government and culture. When I lived in London, every Brit I talked to seemed to hold me personally responsible for GWB and his father, even though I never voted for the bastards.

No sense of humor, but plenty of sense of entitlement. Everybody thinks they "deserve" better. People think they "deserve" to get paid when they do something fucking stupid and get injured, so they sue.

We're a nation of spoiled brats, right down to the poorest person, and right up to the richest.

I hear ya. If people knew what it was like to be different and just have to deal with it without anyone's help, they wouldn't be so proud of it. It sucks dick. Yet, what people gotta do is realize that you don't need to be accepted by everyone. You don't need to force people who aren't going to accept you to accept you. You just need to be yourself, let everyone else be who they are, and not take it so personally.

On the other hand, people are waaaaaay tooo quick to judge. I have a slight speech impediment, and many people just assume it makes me a fucking retard or a dumbass. Well hey, that just shows me their stupidity.

I'm getting it fixed because it really used to bother me, and I'd just as soon live with it now, but the preparations have already been made... plus it's also a matter of health because it's my jaw....and since my jaw isn't moving the way it should, it's causing bad muscle problems which are extending down into my neck and shoulders.

I will say that this disadvantage has been a big advantage for me, in a way, because it affords me the opportunity to be somewhat disconnected with society.... and since I'm so disconnected with the mainstream, I can easily see the bigger picture. I dunno where I would be if my jaw hadn't started developing weirdly back in middleschool. I'd probably be a real dumbass sheep with a fucking iPhone, wearing polo shirts, khaki's and a sideways trucker hat, laughing at anyone who wasn't doing exactly what I was doing.

The last thing I want is society's pity. It's not a big deal, and people are fucking idiotic in the way they encounter the littlest differences with such... fear. What are they afraid of? A really nice guy with a lisp? Jesus Christ, get the fuck over it. Guys especially. I'm great with the ladies, especially since I'm in a band and have a tattoo and whatever... and I think some people feel threatened that their face and their fake mask of an attitude isn't enough. It's crazy, and I fucking just laugh because it's ridiculous. People are so afraid of everything. They need to let go.

Thanks!

Seriously, though.... it's like... stupid.

It's a sensitive subject for me sometimes, just because I don't know if I've ever fully dealt with it. I've never had a good emotional release about the subject. It's really depressing every once in a while, especially when you realize how two faced and fake and close minded people are, even about the most mundane things. I'd lie if I said it hasn't dampened my appreciation or desire for social interaction... but I feel pretty good about myself most of the time, and society just isn't my thing anyway. I'll always be a recluse, no matter how many syllables I can say in a row without fucking up.

And by the way.... fuck you to death, JiveTurkey. :lol: :x :shock: :cry: :lol: :beathorse:
