Racism

[P. Bateman]

I'm going to offer up a little nugget of my personal life. My middle name, Seth. I was named after my Grandmother's brother. I don't know why my Mother choose that name, see, he was a pimp. No word of a lie. He ran a whore house in Montreal. On top of being a pimp he was gay, and very flamboyant. He was also a racist, as was my Grandmother and all her brothers and sisters. I remember visiting Montreal, he lived in a high-rise; some high floor, I can't remember which. I recall things. I remember we were going to take the elevator up to his apt. There was a black man on the elevator, Seth refused to get on, he said "I don't want any coal dust on me".

The kicker was one night, we're all out on the town and a black man called him a faggot. He beat that man to near death. I remember the man begging him to stop. The rest of my family felt he was totally justified, how dare a Ni**er even speak to Seth. There were other things, too many to get in to.

A homosexual pimp, a racist?

Now I'm older and I have distanced myself from my family, most of them are dead anyhow. Now all I can think of when I hear racial slurs is my white trash heritage and that poor man begging him to stop.

I apologize if I offended anyone, I just get upset.

WOW man. Crazy story. Like everything else in life, our youthful experiences and influences define us; moreover, it creates who we are.

As adults, the goal is obviously to mature, come into our own, and forumulate our own uinique idealogies based on logical virtues/morals and more importantly to transcend deep-rooted feelings, perspectives and opinions about people/life and gravitate towards what is morally and ethically responsible, and fair from everyone's vantage points so we as a race, the human race, can live in peace.

That said, is this even possible with racism so profoundly rampant and visceral in everything that we see, hear, watch, and do? Probably not.

At the end of the day, I've got $5 that says Ghandi was a racist to some uncertain degree but he kept it to himself (do a google search and you'll find this argument to be substantiated. Is it accuratre? Only God knows).

Thanks for sharing your story man

Amen brotha!

You're a good person Doc. Racism will always exist in one form or another, it's in our nature to protect and defend our own. But as we progress and evolve, I only hope our ways of dealing with our feelings manifest themselves in more positive ways, like progression of one's own race as opposed to the regression of another's.

I'm a sensitive cat.

So this gay and very flamboyant pimp nearly beat somebody to death? That would be a site to see.

To have looked at him you would have never thought he'd been in a fight in his life. Growing up gay in Montreal wasn't easy I guess.

P. Bateman, you are an enigma. (That's a good thing).
When you open up the doors to your dark and sinister universe then one can only follow the sway. Thank you for that small glimpse into your world.

... and DrVeejay, that was a very wise response, but I had trouble imagining it from Kermit, by jimminy, I believe you are hiding an intellect behind a frog. Eureka!
