50 McDonald's Hamburgers

Frustration to the extreme. Trying to do my taxes, and somehow I owe them $14!!! What the fuck? I didn't even make $8,000 last year. Fuck you, government, I can't even buy FOOD.
Also getting pissed at my class. It's full of white people talking about how we need to talk about racism. Except that's it. That's all they talk about. They don't talk about racism, just how we need to talk about it. I am really beginning to hate them. Race is all that is talked about, but it's so superficial that it's just a waste of time. They don't even talk about other white people problems. Like being racist. Or problems that have nothing to do with that at all.

God, I really don't care what they think about it all. I just want to learn about shit I have never heard of before. Like why music is important to the Black Panthers and how that helped to create Hip-Hop. Like Malcom X. Like... Stuff. I don't know. I know that 2/3 of black men will go to jail. I know that the music industry and the movie industry are racist. I know cops beat up black men for no reason, I know  that the Black Panthers were militant. I know about the Harlem Renaissance. I don't know how to make this stuff stop or change or get better. I don't know what was swept under the rug. I don't know how I am helping racism along. I want to know. I want to change. Why does no one get that they are not being constructive- they are just supporting each other's one phrase "we need to talk about racism.'"

I swear the hippies are worse than the hardcore gay-hating republicans that really really thought we were helping the slaves. (Say it in a cutesy voice- its funnier) The hippies don't have any idea that they are wrong. They don't believe that they could be wrong, so they don't listen to anyone. Nobody recycles enough, saves enough energy, buys organically enough, eats enough whole grain, is vegan enough, is wearing enough free trade clothes, gardens enough, or is sustainable enough. Of course, 3 years ago they were mostly all at the gap shopping with their friends for the cutest new mini skirt. You wouldn't think it, but you can really tell who is truly a hippie and who is doing it because they saw someone on MTV do it first.
Sorry for the rant. I am getting really pissed about everything. I am going through the classic winter dulldrums. I hate everyone, I am overworked and tired, and my class is really incredibly depressing. It makes me want to go to mcdonald's and eat fifty hamburgers just because I am American and I can.
