Demon Clown Baby

O.J. Simpson tried to eat at a steakhouse in Kentucky, and was refused service by the owner.

Simpson’s attorney, Yale Galanter, said the incident was about race, and he intended to pursue the matter and possibly go after the restaurant’s liquor license.

What. In. The. World.

I wasn’t raised to look at people in racial terms. But by now I’ve read enough history to have an inkling of how awful people treated other people because of their skin colour, in this great nation of ours.

We’ve come a long way since then, especially where I live. I grew up in a very diverse neighborhood, and attended diverse schools. There was no majority. Every single “race” was a minority. I suppose there may have been racial tensions, but I didn’t really experience that. The people I associated with didn’t have those issues. Nobody cared what colour people were.

So things have improved, in a lot of ways. But society as a whole is not as enlightened as my neighborhood was. There’s a lot of racism still out there, and we’ve done the old pendulum swing and now there’s a lot of anti-white racism.

If you are white, you are automatically judged by many people to be in a position of power or privilege, and if you hold certain opinions, people thing they can tell your motives for those opinions on the basis of your skin colour.

What kind of sick society do we have when a white man doesn’t serve a murderer, and the assumption is it’s because he’s black?

If you’re white, you can’t be against murder. It’s got to be racially motivated, because all white people hate black people, apparently.

That’s ridiculous. And I know that many, hopefully most, will see right through this pathetic ploy of Simpson and his lawyer. But they wouldn’t have said it, if they didn’t know that some people would either believe it, or at least act like it wasn’t utterly pitiful and ludicrous.

If you’re straight, you can’t think homosexual sex is immoral without being homophobic.

If you’re male, you can’t be against abortion without wanting to oppress women.

If you’re white, you can’t be against murder if the murderer is black because that means you’re racist.

If you believe any of the above three statements, then you’re actually a bigot.

If you disagree, please comment and tell me why you think you’re not.
