I can hear the local school's sports day happening.

Like the megaphone of the announcer is so loud I can hear it clearly from my room.

Nothing new, per se... just kind of sucks when you realise every now and then that we really haven't made much progress since the sixties in terms of equality.

I dunno, maybe I'm being unfair and I'm just stuck in the second worst state in America (even we make fun of Nebraska). But still... Christ.

We like to pretend that racism really isn't a problem in this country anymore, but a few experiences of getting snubbed for service at lunch in favour of white people that come in afterwards kiiiinda sorta puts a damper on those theories pretty damn quickly.

My Aunt Laura put it like this: "Kansas is a nice enough place to come from, but why the hell would you ever want to visit?"

Yea that must be pretty bad.

This is not only in america. Israel has problems with racism aswell. And Israel is a hell of a melting pot so...

I'm lucky. I live in the suburbs, where people's heads are up their own asses enough to pretend nothing is wrong. You go out in the sticks, though... eurgh.

Meade. Fucking Meade. Meade is about as hillbilly as it gets. The kids there carry knives.

And Lecompton... I remember when I was in foster care, there was one other black kid in that entire town that I saw. He was also the only one besides my teacher that would talk to me without being disdainful or annoyed about it.

[up]I've heard about those men that throw rocks at the women that come to pray at the Kotel Hama'aravi, because they're impure or something.

Racism, huh?

Back here it's more of the divide between "real Poles"(read: buzzcutted troglodytes without necks, usually armed with a machete, packing an awful hoodie, a track suit and a scarf of his favorite football team)...

...and the other people, including left-wings, Judes, Negros, Asians, random kids, gays, bisexuals, transsexuals, emigrants etc.

Basically, they are petty thugs and should be shot on sight.

I tend to shift back and forth between optimism and cynicism depending on my mood and the events around me.

Safe to say I'm in cynic mode now.

Oh yes those Haredim.

Bunch of religious idiots. And I have nothing against religion. I'm against the idiots.

And that has more to do with sexism. You won't see most of the people getting to that level.

I was more talking about the racism groups.

Arabs and Israelies.

Those of european origins those of Mizrahi origins.

Goes as far as Russian origin Ashkenazi origin and Spanish.

Has less to do with color though, more with customs of each.

I'm not saying that the problem with sexism is not a problem. It is horrible, but it is far more a Vocal Minority than the others.

Bleh. The first foster parents I had threw things at me, found this Purim book I had and accused me of celebrating Jesus's pain (or something, I was not as good at deciphering evangelical rants back then as I am now), and confiscated my Harry Potter book, the only thing my mother had sent from home, because it taught devil worship. My aunt and uncle also sent me a journal and some nice coloured pencils and crayons, which they also took. Then they blamed me for keeping them from church because I was Jewish, despite the fact that they only informed me they had stopped going the day before I left for another, non-crazy foster parent, and I never even asked them not to go.

I got the book back. They kept the drawing materials.

If I had told them I was actually an atheist, I think they honestly might have killed me. The foster mother had this bull whip she carried around. I was never around to see it used, luckily.

I shouldn't have even been in that home. They somehow managed to take "my father yells a lot and it makes me sad" (which would warrant a couple parenting classes, and that would be it), and twist it into "my father molests me in the shower and shows me his private parts", which is a dirty, damnable lie. If you ask me, those foster parents should have been the ones under investigation.

[up]At one point, yes. I'm back with my real parents now, thankfully.

And now I've derailed the conversation into depressing crap. Sorry.

No it's no problem.

It's sometimes good to do such things.

And yes that sounds fucking horrible.

I don't know how I would react to people twisting the fact that my dad angers at me for my lack of table manners to something like that. My father is a role model for me in a lot of ways.
