Archer's Ordeal, Humans Are Stupid, Women wearing Horse Hair, Skin Tone and a pic for the brave

I read Archer's post about how he suffered at the hands of some racist punks and it made me aware of how hostile the world still is. I have a new found respect for black South Africans for having to live in such an environment, it seems the dream of a free South Africa is still some ways off. I have also said that Africans who live in Europe (Britain excluded) have an extra portion of fortitude within them that I do not have. It is not an unknown thing for African students to be killed in Africa, for black people to get strange looks on the streets, to be denied service because of your color and for the worst jobs to be reserved for you.It is a shame about the factors that lead Africans to have to leave their countries and be second class citizens immigrants so as to be able to earn a living byt that is another post in itself.
I am not saying that America is heaven but racism here isn't as pronounced and prevalant as in those parts of the world (it also does help that America is a country based on immigration even thought that is changing). In fact a whole new segregation based on money is used by people to separate themselves from people of color and the under class of their own race.

It seems amazing that despite the leaps and bounds that human beings have made in terms of knowledge and technology is that we have hardly moved in terms of how we relate to each other.Wars that have been fought over hundreds of years (Iraq,Israel and Lebanon) are being fought over and over again, slavery just takes on new and more horrifying forms (economic slavery) and oppression of different classes of people continues.
Someone once said that human beings are the stupidest animals on Earth because other animals pass knowledge down the generations which manifests in instincts that ensures their continued survival but we as human beings repeat the same mistakes and actions generation after generation. Looking at the world today, I believe him 200%!

I have always disliked weaves. I have never been a big fan of the deception that women have to enact in the name of beauty ie push up bras, corsets, fake eye lashes, padded panties etc. But the one that turns my stomach the most is weaves.Don't get me wrong, weaves look great and black women here love them! But I am a lover of animals and the whole thought of horses running around without their tail hair makes me very uncomfortable. Anyway on a serious note what makes me uncomfortable is the whole human hair thing, that's just plain sick!How do you take someone else's hair and attach it to yours and feel fine?!I mean that would be like me taking the hair after a dude shaves and using it to make sideburns for myself.Damn this is just some sick ish (Link from Makanga)!I don't know if you recall those horror movies of them days about people receiving eyes or hands from madman and murderers and as a result getting startling visions and chopping those near and dear to them to bits

I was reading a post on the KBW feed about the whole light skin vs dark skin issue. I know I am the last person who should comment on this because of my club darkness remarks but since I am not light skinned or alek wek dark so I get a pass (If you don't agree, you can eat a dick!). The worst thing that white people did to black people was to make them dislike their own appearance, the closer to white someone is; the more they fit in.Really sad I say.The extent to which people go to get this light skin is stupefying!I recall there is this chic whom me and my pals knew in high school, there was this other chic who used to get alot of attention from the boys and she wasn't really that light (I am tried to find the skin tone here but it takes too much time!) .
So this chic decided to out-do her and hooked up with some bleach. So she came back a tad bit lighter, but usually it is easy to tell natural lightness from that which comes in a bottle; so we knew something was up.But when we knew she had used some dubious products is when someone pointed out that her legs were 2 degrees darker then her legs, so instead of getting the attention she wanted peeps used to laugh at her after looking at her up and down.Sad thing though is that no-one ever told her.
Some women have said that they bleach so that they can get men to marry them, I do agree that it is wrong for men to prefer women due to their skin tone (other factors being constant) but on the other hand as a woman if a man dates/marries you because you are light doesnt it mean that it is your skin tone that he loves as oppossed to you?
In fact there was a story about this lady who used to use a dangerous mixture of skin lighteners aka mkorogo to keep herself super light. Due to her alluring skin tone she got married to this rich arab man, when due to health reasons she stopped using the concotion, she became darker then she was before she began using them and the man left her. Worst thing is the way the media sells the light as beautiful gospel to us, and they do it so well that we end up internalising it.

I try to be tolerant and all but despite whatever your dressings stands for, you should be considerate about the mental health of those around you (plus the fact they want to keep their lunch in their stomachs!).Look at this if you are not at work!God-damn that was some sick ish!
