I’m tired of constantly being in debt to this race or that race for things that happened in the past. My grandparents came to America through Ellis Island in the 1920’s. My Grandmother was but a child then and had no real clue about how America came to be. Yet, I am indebted to the American Indian’s, and the African American’s (I hate that term. Most black people here were born here and have never been to Africa. From now on, I’m a Swedish American) for things that my family had nothing to do with. I’m not with the belief that there should be a mass forgetting of what had happened in the past, but it angers me when people cry for bonuses for things that they never had to deal with.
In the Pacific Northwest, where I live, there was a big stir a few years ago about a local tribe of Indians who wanted to hunt a whale. This particular breed of whale had just come off the endangered list and since that happened, the tribe demanded that they be given permission to practice an old custom. Now, had I gone out and killed one of these whales, I would have been arrested by the Dept. of the Interior, but it came to pass that they were allowed. Why was it so important for them to do this after they hadn’t for many years? This tribe owns a casino and is worth millions of dollars, so it wasn’t to feed their children, but they were frothing at the mouth and very angry about their “rights”. In the end, they hunted the whale, killed it, and there was no report about what they did with it. Here were 5 Indians in a fiberglass boat, a state of the art harpoon, and wearing their blue jeans and baseball caps. How authentic. I’m still angry about this special consideration.
I also get upset about being categorized by so many black people as a racist, even though they don’t know me. I have seen more racism within the black ranks than I ever have from the white. They want this, they want that, and they want me to pay for it with a smile and an apology. I’m tired of it. I’m also tired of seeing Mexican women with their seven kids and pregnant with an eighth. I have no problem with any race or culture, but I’m really friggin’ sick of paying for them. How do you think they feed all those kids when their husband’s are working minimum pay jobs? With food stamps, welfare, and other services that come out of my taxes, that’s how. It seems that they have as many children on American soil as possible so as to secure their familial roots. I can understand that logic, hell I want to eat to, but I am tired of being forced to pay a part of their income. One last thing that drives me nuts, are the overall attitude American white’s get from South Koreans. There is a subtle contempt from them of us, even though they get a check, free college, and vouchers for the many things they need when they first arrive here. It’s ironic, that there are so many people within our borders, that have the same attitude about America that, seemingly, the rest of the world has.
Rant over.
