I don't believe Obama should be president just because he's black.

I don't believe that America's black citizens should have voted for him just because he's black.

I don't believe that America's extremist Christians should have voted against him just because he's black.



I personally dislike it when race becomes an issue in things. I can understand where, in things like Movie roles, you would need a black Actor / Actress to play a black character in an adaptation from a book. That's totally acceptable, in fact I wouldn't have it any other way.

But for things like getting a job, being black or white shouldn't make the slightest bit of difference. It's really annoying how it does.



I also dislike the sexism that you can't hit girls, or that Actresses must be called Actors because being female doesn't warrant them a new title.

I.. I would just get so confused if Actresses became Actors. They're the same thing, it just distinguishes that the Actor or Actress is Male or Female.

I dislike the "You can't hit girls" thing because it's socially acceptable for a girl to hit a guy.

Take this as an example. Toward the end of the video, when he wrestles the hammer away from her, she starts slapping him screaming "GET OFF-- GET OFF ME".

If he had hit her instead of wrestling the hammer away from her - If he had hit her if she started slapping him --- Do you realise how much of a shitstorm that would have started?

Just because he'd have hit her.



I fully understand that some people are still biased against women and think they are weaker than men, sometimes women get paid less for working than men, sometimes men are hired over women in jobs that require manual labour. I understand that.

But when it comes to something simple like Actors and Actresses, or self defense.. Ugh

HOLY SHIT I LOST CONTROL OF MYSELF

That post is waaay longer than I originally intended it to be

Actress and stuff came around because when women could act, they needed a different title because they were lesser, essentially.

[Deiphobus]

the connotation of being lesser has no meaning in modern society.

Speaking of that, have we talked about interracial dating yet?

[Decker]

Love is love.

I think the gay relationship encompasses inter-racial relationships as well. Just on a grander scheme of things.

[Superior Bacon]

I don't think we have, actually.



I think anyone who is a against it is a big fucking retard.

[Crawfish]

Interracial couples infuriate me.







jk, my ex was(is, whatever) a Halfrican.

Gotta love it all.

If women want to be treated the same, than they can't always expect that Guys will ALWAYS treat them like the "Precious dainty flowers they are".
And if they get otherwise, they can't get all bitchy and explain it's wrong BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN.

No it's wrong BECAUSE HE USED PHYSICAL VIOLENCE TO SETTLE A CONFLICT.
Which we all know is wrong to do whether you're a guy hitting a guy, guy hitting a girl or vice versa.

Women annoy me sometimes. If we want to be treated "speshal", then we wouldn't be equal to men.

I love seeing gay relationships blossom
Like when me and my sister see a gay couple holding hands, we daaaw everytime~

Darned gay people always getting better female attention... >.>
That's it, I'm going to get buff, and start to only talk in my Solid Snake voice.

I will slap a bitch if she slaps me first.

SHAGGY I NOTICED HOT GUYS MORE THAN GAY COUPLES.

I think maybe because I don't see many gay couples

The internet helped me get over a lot of my prejudices and preconceptions about genders and races when I was younger.

Back when I was 13-14, I had no idea that girls played video games, and I had no idea that black people could be just like me.

It's not that I ever had a problem with girls or black people, I just never thought about how everybody, on a basic level, is a human being. It really helped to open my mind. And then when I later discovered my homosexuality, I wasn't freaked out or scared or worried my parents would disown me because I'd realised that we're all human beings, and no matter how different you are you still share that connection with everybody else.
