God Damn, God Damn, God Damn!! I was at the Info desk from 8 to 5. I feel exhausted and I did next to nothing. I argued all day with people. Literally all day. I spent a good hour with some well-meaning liberal who was just trained and spouted it off. Let me summarize: I hate Germans. I always have, I always will. I know it's wrong, but it's just a part of my childhood and my culture. I had this stuck-up liberal come up and tell me how I should think in the situation. Their point was that hate in all forms is bad and wrong. Wow, how naive. Is anyone really going to argue that the oppressed should show nothing but love to the oppressor? That race in America is okay and blacks should get out of the past? OMG, I hate people that can't see past the end of their nose and are so self-righteous that they befriend the opressor and chastise the oppressed. Yeah, I know, Hate sucks. But it's a reality we have to deal with. We can't get past it. Until everyone is equal, we can never get past it and true universal equality is certainly not in our grasp.
Okay, I ranted. The guy was actually very nice. A Half German, half Black Puerto-Rican flaming gay man. He left with David and David earlier told me that some woman's jacket was ''atrocious.'' Maybe David has jumped back on the gay band-wagon, we'll see.
