Been driving a lot (fuck the tsa) and have had plenty of time for deep thoughts.
I've mentioned a couple times that I wont financially support movies and stuff that, in my opinion, further the divide between people, whether race, creed, whatever. I thought about why.
When you see some idiot wearing a swastika and talking about the master race, it is easy for everyone to brush him off as an idiot or a psycho and just go on with their lives.
But when you see a clever movie written by a clever person that makes you chuckle and nod your head when person of *race* is exploited by some way by person of *different race,* and *race* is the motivating factor, shit like that stays with you, and before you know it it is built into your self conscious. "Yeah, *race* really IS like that."
even thought it isn't. But it was clever and you chuckled, and then it stuck.
So fuck that.
