I really hate it when people bring up religion and their minority status to oppress others and
get their way. WTF??? ARE WE STILL LIVING IN THE STONE AGES??? WHAT THE HELL DO
THOSE THINGS HAVE TO DO WITH WHO WE ARE?? THEY ONLY MAKE UP A PART OF
US...Seriously, and we wonder why the world is still so chaotic. Honestly though if I wanted to I
could've used my status as a minority and a person of another religion to solve numerous
problems that I have, but I don't do that because I know the world doesn't revolve around
those principles. Call me naive but I thoroughly believe that a person's deeds define who they
are not their religion and certainly not their racial status. If that was the case then the
President of our great nation wouldn't be President today. Seriously though, how long will we
continue to act like a bunch of kids wanting the same candy? I guess my ranting don't make a
lot of sense so I will elaborate what happened. My parents and I live in an apartment
complex where we share parking spaces with other people. Mostly people of minority origins
like Asians, Africans, Mexicans, Indians, etc live here. The service here stinks but still we live
here because of the conveniences. Anyhow, we share a parking spot with someone of the
African origin, as we are of the South East Asian origin. Every single damn day the person
who parks their car goes half way through our parking spot, so we have told them countless
times to please take care when they parked, we even told the stupid property managers to
change our parking spot which they are unable to do. Yesterday they parked the same way,
and so the side of my dad's car was squished against the pillar chipping off the $150 paint
job. My dad frustrated went and tried to tell the driver in a peaceful way what happened, the
person who is a female started shrieking like a banshee yelling at him and saying that he
scares her, and that he's harassing her?
WHAT THE HELL??? HE WAS JUST TELLING YOU TO PARK YOUR DAMNED CAR PROPERLY
YOU STUPID BITCH. She started then saying that she is from a certain religion which we are
practitioners of too and started calling my dad a liar. My dad unhappy came home and then
told my mom what happened, so together they went and then started inspecting the damages
done. The woman seeing this came running and yelling at them some more, so they went to
the apartment office where the managers were in a meeting. In the end she yelled at my
parents some more and then threatened to sue them in a civil suit in the
court. WHAT THE FUCK??? So telling you to park your car properly so that our car isn't
harmed is a form of harassment now? Oh jolly...how wonderful it is. I honestly feel so mad
right now. Really I don't like to diss other minorities because I am one myself, but seriously,
you people need to be slapped until some sense returns into your empty head. I am a
minority too and as people know the British had oppressed my people for over 200 years
during the Victorian and colonial era. You don't see me going to a British person and
demanding that they do my shit for me. I have risen over that. Why the hell can't you assholes?
Look at Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. He was a minority too wasn't he? Did he demand that
the Caucasians who oppressed them make something of their lives? No, he went ahead, got
a P.H.D. and then he pointed out the follies of hatred and urged everyone from all races to
work together and build an American everyone could be proud of. While far from that dream,
still some of us have started taking a step towards that road which this great man wanted us
to tread. Ugh...man it really pisses me off when I see people whinning about whites or other
races trampling over them and all that jazz. If you are so upset why the hell do you not work
harder get a fucking education and stand on your own two feet? If you are well educated and
do well in life who in their right mind will call you useless huh? Again I am probably being
naive, but there are more peaceful ways of getting even with people. Instead of killing them,
yelling at them or torturing them, make yourself a better person. That way even if people diss
you, then you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are in a position far above them
and practically speaking they are way beneath you in terms of status and education. The way I
see religion is that it's a way for us to keep our spirituality intact, not use it as an excuse to
proclaim that some of us are better than others. What God you follow and how you follow
them is up to you. Don't diss other people because they believe in some other God. If you
think about it, then people are all worshiping the same divine being in their own unique
ways, so stop it with the religious divisions. If you analyze yourselves, then you will see that
inside you all have the same organs and the same color blood that I do and that your
neighbors do. Just because your skin is different and your beliefs are different doesn't mean
that you are better or worse. Just means that you are in individual that does things
differently....If someone reads this then I would like to know what you think. I am not saying
bad things about anyone, just want people to let go of petty grudges and move on and be
better that's all....
