Racism

They say there are a few things guaranteed in life: ugly girls, death, and stepping in faeces.
Obviously I am not going to stand here and jabber on about dog poo or girls who look like dog poo, no, because that would probably get me a big fat Not Achieved.
But luckily for me there is another thing we are all sure to encounter during the course of our lives, something less smelly than poo but usually the same colour – Racism!

Yes, join me as I explore the most sinister and hateful of all human beliefs.
But before carry on, we must ask: What is racism?
It is simply the act, or the mindset, of disliking someone or a group of people solely because of their race – and usually skin colour.

Did I hear myself correctly? Because of their skin colour? This is absurd! Where did this come from? Who would be so stupid, so ignorant, and so arrogant? Oh yeah – the white man would.
The idea of Racial Superiority, which is a major part of Racism, was invented in the olden days by the Europeans. The idea came about while King John the 50th or whatever was conquering all of these boonga African and Asian countries – while he was doing it a feeling of general superiority over these stupid foreigners with funny skin was born.

This was then used as their ‘justification’ for their killing, raping, and pretty much mistreatment of non-white people across the world.
Essentially, white people created an order, with white people at the top. This turned a global class system based only on skin colour, with white being the standard against which all others were judged.

This almost immediately produced crappy effects like white-only privileges, which continue even today; the worlds best golfer, Tiger Woods, used to be denied access to the 3 golf courses in his city because he is, lets be honest here, as black as coal.

Racism is prevalent everywhere – everyone is a little racist in some way or another. Do you not see this? If not let us examine another branch in the tree...
