Let's face it, the 2nd Amendment and all the lah-di-dah about Americans having the right to bear arms was always going to be a difficult amendment to control, but this isn't about bearing arms - whether mechanical or regular arms.
With the guy in Charleston, South Carolina, we see yet again that humans can be absolute shit-heads. I know I probably should watch my language, but I hate three things with a total and pure passion:
1) Racism
2) Hypocrisy
3) Stupidity
But for now, I'll only rant about racism. We're all the same red blood and white bone underneath, HELLO!!!! And when you consider that we all live or "originated" in different climates - dark skinned people from warm climates ergo they have dark skin so they lose the heat quickly - the only problem we have with each other is a cultural thing.
And here's the real kick in the teeth to all the racists out there - WE ALL CAME FROM AFRICA ORIGINALLY!!!!!!
Yep, you read me right - your ancestors from 200,000 generations ago (yeah, I counted, boohoo) were living in the Great African Rift Valley running from Asia, right down into South-Eastern Africa.
Granted, it could have been anywhere else: Africa was only a lucky winner in a game of continental chance. Even we as a species only got lucky because of India sailing north, crashing into the notch between the Middle East and Asia and creating the Himalayas.
This in turn caused some pretty wet weather called the monsoons, which stripped Africa, a pretty swampy jungle-y country at the time, of all the moisture in the air, and dried it out. Which mean most of the trees disappeared, and our tree-climbing ancestors had to come down to earth.
My point is, we all called Africa home for a period of time before anywhere else in the entire world.
And no doubt I'm not the first to say this, but African-American people, African-British people, African-whatever people, wherever they hail from - THEY AREN'T ALL BAD. And white people are just as capable of evil as anybody else. How do I know this? Well, if any racists out there have heard of Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Elizabeth Bathory, Vlad Dracula (No, not the fanged guy), then they know, like the rest of us, exactly what they did: They killed millions of their own people, WHITE people as well as black.
And here's the kicker, racists: All of the above were... WHITE!!! Shocker.
Even Dylann Roof Storm, the would-be mass murderer (I'm not trying to insult anyone, but mass murder to me is 20 dead people and above), admitted that he "almost didn't go through with" a planned rampage six months in the making because "everyone was so nice to him."
If anything, a racist murdering twat saying that about his victims should absolutely make any racist think twice about their perceptions of the human race, especially of those they are determined to hate.
I absolutely admit that I have been somewhat racist in thought. But racists are perhaps the existing proof of what Albert Camus once said:
"The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance. Good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding."
I hope the victims of the massacre at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina will rest in peace, and I am sure that the prayers and condolences of the enormous majority of the human race go out to their families, friends, and the members of their community.
