Life. We all have one. We all live our own. I see shit everyday that pisses me off and I'm sure everyone else does too. Why complain everyday about everything in your life that isn't going your way. Or why point out things we all already know because we can see them for ourselves. Our world and society is based on stereotypes. Stereotypes that we and past individuals have set in stone for us. Many manage to escape them, however most accept them and let themselves be molded by what was set out for them from the get go. Why is there always the trailer trash white people making the successful and hygienic ones look bad? Why do we assume all white people eat bologna and hot dogs? Its a stereotype. Why do black people ruin it for themselves before they even get the chance to prove people wrong? Why can't I myself be looked at as an intelligent individual before my own Grandmother tells me I better not be pregnant? Is it because I'm a young woman with a black background? Probably. Why is there always that one Asian that can't drive for shit...ruining it for those who can? Why is there that one Indian always trying to get a bargain...making the others look cheap? Why is there that one bi-racial boy/girl who is overly confident...that makes the rest of us look like cocky jerks? Why is there a terrorist group making it hard for Muslims to roam the streets without being ridiculed and tormented? Because its a stereotype that is easily suited to those that allow themselves to be categorized as such. There will always be the token black guy, the smarter than genius Asian, the immigrant Indian that says W's instead of V's, the white dude who thinks he's black, the hoe that has sucked every guy and his friend's dick, the Muslim girl wearing her hijab/a man wearing a turban who get a hard time about being terrorists, the stush bitch that won't give you the time of day, the little old helpless lady that needs you to baby her, the annoying fuck you can't seem to get rid of, the emo kid threatening to take their own life everyday....I could go on all day. That's life, get over it. But the only reason we see life this way, is ignorance. I could never be a hypocrite and say I don't assume the same things in life. I do. Because I'm ignorant. But does it make me less of a douche bag because I realise that and own up to it? Probably not. Ignorance is like sleeping, its something we can't avoid...no matter how hard we try. You can keep your shit to yourself...doesn't mean the ignorance isn't bouncing around in your noggin'. It's there...always will be. You and I will always judge each other and everyone else based on a first glance. It takes someone special to change your outlook on life and its natural ignorance. To make you realise that stereotypes can be altered and avoided...it just takes more than we are ever willing to put into it. There will always be the honky who lives next to the nigga, who lives next to the paki, who lives next to the nip, who lives next to the terrorist, who lives next to the old bag, who all live in public housing. There will always be the honky who lives next to the nigga, who lives next to the paki, who lives next to the nip, who lives next to the terrorist, who lives next to the old bag, who for all you know or care to know, live in the suburbs. Ignorance is bliss.
