I Have Rage
Today was the first day in YEARS that I have been consumed with a cloud of hostile rage. It takes ALOT to make me angry and today two people's stupidity set me off. Today in Sociology class we were suppose to have our regular class discussion which involved 3 people leading the class in a panel over the chapter we were on. Our regular teacher wasn't there so my favorite teacher stepped in as a sit in. The topic had to be of course about racism. The panel was suppose to speak for a few minute and then start the class off on a discussion that would carry out the class until it was time to go. However, only 2 panel members showed up who happened to be minorities and they lead the class on their own discussion that emphasized white hatred. They kept giving statistics stating how their race was victimized by white people. At first we didn't care and were listening but then statistic after statistic started stacking up not to mention the addition of their own research which only lead to their class dictatorship and less class involvement. We ALL started looking at each other with complete disbelief that these two people were that bold and that stupid. I was the leader of awareness when I noticed the first indicator. When this so called panel did ask the class for a comment, the young man across from me looks at me and then asks them if they had any other statistics that covered more races instead of the ones they chose to single out. They gave a simple "Sorry!" What made it more prevalent that is was a hate attack was that one of them whom orginates from Arizona, brought up the new law in Arizona and how unfair it was that those restrictions were set on illegals, but then this same panel member turned right around and said that she was angry that her school in Arizona only took certain amount of people and illegals were attending her classes and sitting in the seat next to hers--but her friend (same race as hers) next door was left out and had to attend school far away. We were ALL so enraged because their talk lasted a full 50 minutes and they sucked it for all it was worth. It was SO bad that the teacher called them aside after class to discuss what they did. You know how words spread and I would sure hate to be them right now because they did it to their peers that they interact and live with. I could have stomped on someone's face as angry as I was. I hate going there! They are entitled to their own opinion and I respect that and by no means am I racist, but they could have NOT contradicted themselves and just kept it real. Know what I am saying?
