I understand with my head that some oppressed minority groups empathize with different oppressed minorities ... while other oppressed groups like to pass on the hatred, loathing, humiliation and degradation down the line to the next oppressed minority lower on the sub-human food chain. Generally speaking, I've understood blacks to be in the latter category ... and generally speaking, I pity them for that.
But in my heart ... the thought of black folk going into the voting booth yesterday and, with elation, voting for the first black president ever - emblematic of a high point in their struggle for civil rights - - and within seconds - also casting their vote to TAKE AWAY the civil rights of another oppressed minority group that they have the balls to think of us inhuman and substandard - - in my heart, I cannot abide that.
It makes me ill. I want to puke.
An interesting thing
I found out today is that SEVENTY PERCENT of black voters voted FOR PROP H8.
Um, pardon me, but FVCK THOSE NIKKERS! I'm really pissed. They disgust me.
