Ignorant Ghetto People Annoy Me And Should Be Sent To Iraq
I'm kidding about the Iraq part, but their stupidity and hypocritical racism does annoy me to no end.
Here is what happened to make me say this:
Every few months or so I cross paths with this really stupid ghetto guy that lives in a building around the corner from my house. It's always when I'm walking my dogs. Always. Even when I had Yummy this guy would harass me.
This is how long it has been going on.
I can only assume he dislikes dogs and girls with dogs because I have never done anything to this man to warrant his disgusting behavior towards me. He sees a small defenseless girl with her small dogs and feels the need to be an asshole to someone, probably because he is broke, jobless, (on drugs?) and has a shitty life in general. I suppose if my daily activities consisted of hanging out on the corner all day and smoking weed I would be a bit pissed about how crappy my life is as well. Although who's fault is that?
If I were a man I guarantee not a word would have escaped his lips, but I am a female and a small one to boot. I have to deal with moronic ghetto assholes who watch BET all day and think a woman's worth is whatever some half-brained rapper of that moment deems it to be.
I am not the kind of person to retaliate if someone is being stupid, but he has made me so angry that I have cursed back at him many times and I will continue to do so if provoked, despite his empty threats to shoot and stab me. For every threat ever made I have openly laughed in his face, followed by a "fuck you". I would feel threatened if he were actually a man, but as of right now I really can't take him seriously. He picks on women literally half his size to make himself feel better. What a “tough guy”, right?
Today he called me a "snooty white bitch" who is taking over "his" neighborhood. A bit racist, no? But god forbid someone call him a stupid black bastard. Holy crap, call Al Sharpton!! Mind you, I am no where near being white (can Trinidadian even be considered somewhat white?) and I have lived in this neighborhood literally for my entire life. There is no possibility of me "taking it over" since I've always been here!
What annoys me the most is the fact that I grew up in the same environment, in the same public school system, with minorities for parents and I somehow managed to make myself successful, educated and well-spoken. Just because I do not sound ghetto and I am of a slightly fairer complexion he assumes I do not belong. Thus I am labeled as one of "them" (them being white people).
This would not be the first time some retarded thug-wannabe has called me "white." Due to the fact that I try to speak using proper English and I do not dumb myself down to fit the neighborhood stereotype of sounding like a raging dumb-ass, this gives ghetto people the impression that I am what they consider to be "white". It doesn't insult me that he called me white, rather it insults me that he tried to put a negative spin on my own intelligence by saying that smartness is limited to one race of people (I am obvious living proof that it is not).
I never could understand how being educated and well spoken is immediately a "white" thing. I know many people of all different races, colors, nationalities who speak just as well, if not better, than I do. Should we consider them “white” as well? I also know just as many different races, colors and nationalities who come off as ghetto, uneducated fools.
I am tired of the mentality that comes with such a backwards culture (if you even want to call it a culture) where being educated is bad, sounding educated is worse, and anything having to do with bettering yourself is completely looked down upon. What kind of way of life is that? It only proves to perpetuate ignorance and intolerance, as well as aiding in the creation of bitter washed out losers who have nothing better to do than harass hard-working young girls who are just trying to walk their dogs in peace.
