Rage against the People

Alright, to start off.

I was reading some random pop star magazine in a nail salon recently when I came across some article about Shia Lebouf and Megan Fox and how they have awesome chemistry on and off the set. It then proceeded to quote a source close to Megan about how "She isn't into good looks and models but funny and smart. Okay..pause. Did anyone else catch that off-hand insult to Shia right there? As if now everyone else is supposed to be like "wow...Megan Fox is amazing...not only is she extremely good looking...but she goes out with ugly guys too..." Another thing. Is hollywood so close-minded that just because you don't look like Brad Pitt and have a jaw line that could cut through metal, you're automatically not good looking? I happen to think Shia Lebouf is an amazing actor AND good looking.

The other day I was working for a little extra cash and handing out flyers. I'm very bright and sunny and it happens to be that I'm great at it. (No bragging intended) So anyways, this hispanic woman comes by and I start my whole pitch, cracking jokes and nodding enthusiastically at all the right parts. About half way through it all I suddenly realize I'm putting on an hispanic accent. So here I am, talking to this woman, and I'm thinking in my head "why the heck do I sound like Carlos Mencia?" The other girl I'm working with hears what I'm doing and immediatly starts laughing, all the while there's this poor woman listening to everything I'm saying and not realizing that im not hispanic. Poor woman. I realized that I tend to put on accents of the people I'm around. These black woman came by and I was all like "mmhmm girl yah! You know it!'

Yesterday I was driving with my brother and something he said rang very true. Black people and Hispanics have completely taken over. The white man is the lesser race. I blame fear. People are so afraid of making racial slurs and getting shot for it that half of their story is themselves bumbling over their own words. I will never forget when I was in High School and walking past a bunch of girls telling a story. These were the exact words out of her mouth. "So then I saw this big black girl-oh sorry Ellie" Um...WTF?! When I tell a story and say "yah so there was this white guy-" Do I proceed to turn to the entire room and ask for forgiveness? Nope.

Calling someone "black" these days has turned into a racial slur. In fact...its been a racial slur for a while now. In "Baby Got Back" by Sir-mix-a-lot these two white girls call the girl in the beginning "just so..BLACK" Um...hello? When the heck did black become synonymous with the "N" word. Its like the whole cursing thing and frickin. Now the acceptable thing to do is call them "African American" even though most of them have never even SEEN Africa. If thats acceptable then why arent the white people called "English Americans"? After all, isnt that where they're originally from? You are White. You are Black. Well actually technically we're brown and peach but for some reason that never quite caught on.

People are very selfish. I was driving with my friends and saw a house that the lamp post alone could have covered a years worth of college for me. (Bad Grammar) Can I get in on some of that? Why do people assume that because they have money, they have to buy expensive things? Why get this shirt for $30 when I can get it for $300 right? I'm sure a lot of us think this way. You see people wearing $435 dresses and the first thought that enters my head is "I'm pretty sure I saw that at Target..." For some reason, if a celebrity or a socialite were to dress "cheap" and not wear clothes worth more than all my possesions put together, they would be looked down upon. I wonder why that is? Its like...society demands them to meet a certain standard. All I gotta say is...if you're feeling charitable I'm looking for a nice lamp post.

This has been another Imputant Rage.

LE7 Out.
