What is the World Becoming?

Thu Jun 25, 2009, 12:40 PM
Firstly, I am going to sound like a racist for a minute. I am not. Remotely. I am just a tad confused by this present subject.

There is this game Black College Football Experience [link] It is an all Black football game. Cool. This just popped the question into my head, why isn't this deemed as segregation? Sure, most games are primarily white, but if a game called "White College Football Experience" came out wouldn't the whole world flip a bitch? I am certainly not trying to sound like a supremicist, but this seems like a step backwords to me. Every step society takes towards integration and actual peace between races, we take 2 steps back.



Also, for those of you who haven't heard of the riots in Iran, you should google it. People are dying at the hands of their goverment, and the goverment is sending out messages saying that the protesters are the ones attacking the soldiers. This disgusts me because there is video proof negating this. Sure, maybe some protesters attacked soldiers, but does that give them right to open fire on hundreds of others who have done nothing?

Making this whole issue worse is CNN. I was watching their report on these protests and their views on the goverments attempt at a cover up. They openly call the Iranian goverment's statement Bollocks (It is) but I can't help but wonder what would happen if this was an American problem. Take a look at all the torture cover ups the Americans have had. They did terrible things to living people and covered it up, and CNN went along with these cover ups, but when Iran does the same thing the whole country suddenly becomes the epitomy of evil. It's not like the US wouldn't be covering it up if this happened on their soil. This whole incident really shows what a shitty, shitty world we live in.


How does this fit into normal society? Well, take a look at the Disney Channel stars. Pretend they are the United States. Now look at the Average Joe citizen. He is every other country. The Disney Channel star gets drunk and makes a video on youtube that just so happens to be blatantly racist etc... Now, she is forgiven after an apology to society, and is instantly regiven her television show granting her millions of dollars for doing shit all. Now, the average Joe makes a video with the same context. It gains a large audience who happen to be infuriated by this video. He tries to apologize, but since he means nothing to the heart of America, he is victimized and made into the embodiment of Satan. Good, he deserves to be treated like shit, but so does the Disney Star. It just shows how much fame can affect even the most morally wrong things to do, but with an apology and a statement to "God" the star is let off without a punishment.

This is just evidence that so much of what is happening at this present moment is related. The Black Experience Football game, a simple video game, could cause outrage or warmth in peoples hearts, depending who they are. But if we look on the other side of the spectrum we see what would happen if this was happening on the other side of things. The world is a messed up place that can never seem to see the truth.


I hope this has given you some sort of insight about... something.

oh, wow... thank you. you just summed up all my opinions on these kinds of things.
it does seems a bit racist that blacks can have "african american history club" and stuff like that at school, but whites can't. im not saying that they SHOULDNT, im just saying it's racist that white's cant...
whites have history too, yah know??
and other stuff on that subject, related to that, is racist in one way or another.

THANK YOOUS.

I agree with you on this. You have some balls for a Canadian. I find that the whole racism thing is out of control. It's become so overused it's actually outweighing it's benefits. And the whole double standard for celebrities is insane. Look at pop culture icons. They do near unforgivable things, and all they haft to say is: "Sorry, my bad. I didn't mean it" They are forgiven. I remember a radio broadcaster made a racist comment. Even if he made it clear it was a joke. He lost nearly everything. I am a firm believer in the freedom of speech. Now your jailed if you speak out against pedophilia, and bestiality in America. Even Preachers are being tossed in jail for preaching on Leviticus. Because well it's not "Politically Correct." And CNN is the governments bitch. I've seen clips that were buried. And Obama is basically a colored figure head. Hypocrisy, and deceit runs through the American government like blood.
Went a little off-topic.

So...deep. :( You're absolutely right, though. This world is twisted and sick, and shall always remain that way as long as corruption is allowed to take place (which it will due to human nature). Even I, being an American, am ashamed of the US...and I am not patriotic in the least. We always make it seem like we have every right to stick our noses in all the other countries' business, and always act like we are an hero. >> But in reality, I feel as though we are just overrated and egotistical to the degree that it will be our downfall. We look down our noses at other countries and always teach our kids that America is the best place to live and the only place that is not a third world country. Except for 9th grade and electives, the only Social Studies we learn are American. It sickens me to no end.

Anyway, I guess that's about all I wanted to say...I actually read someplace that Canada was the best place to live and from what I've heard, maybe it is. *shrug*

Granted, I am not anti-American to the point of wanting to get rid of it or get the government or anything, I'm just disgusted at the way our society handles things. :/

Humans are dum... What can you do? It's in our own nature to destroy ourselves... We have brought this upon ourselves, and we could get out of this but our leaders are too stupid to realize that everything's going to get destroyed if we do not do anything... If among a group of bugs one is eating the others that bug must be eliminated... That's what I think anyway.

"What's so perverted in liking women?"
:iconwackiest:
I understand what you're saying but I guess the feeling behind the makers of the game is that because the black population is in minority to the white population then it's ok. Or some crap like that, meh I don't particulatly like sport games anyway.

I can't agree with you more.... But let's just out with it, most Americans don't give a shit about other countries, and then they bash on the people that actually give a damn and care enough to try and help Iran. Then the whole stupid 'believe in your country'. Well it's kind of hard to be supporting the US, when all we do is eat burgers and complain about Africa and Iran being in the shits. Why can't more people realize that sure we are having a recession, but Iran is having fucking WAR between the government and its people, Africa is DYING, and the world is in a horrible condition.
I'm not anti-America I just think we need to be more concerned with other people and countries other than ourselves.
