Have I slipped into an alternate dimension? A dimension where I'm forced to live in pre-Civil War America? An America where racism runs rampant and is ignored quite blatantly? No, of course I haven't slipped into such a dimension. Those days were far worse in terms of racism, however I have to wonder what ever happened to true equality and unity between people.
Now before I start off, I'd like to (as usual) make it known that I am not a racist. If you think I AM a racist, please email me so that I can personally tell you to kiss my ass. Thank you. Now let's begin.
Last week here at Penn State Harrisburg, we had what was called "club fest." It was basically an event where various clubs here from school set up tables in the main plaza of campus to try to recruit people and whatnot. And since it earned me credit in my First Year Seminar course, I attended the event and browsed through the clubs that were there. The one that sparked my interest the most (and not because I wanted to join it), was a club exclusively for black students here at Penn State Harrisburg. Am I the only one with my head out of my ass enough to see something wrong here? Sounds like a racist organization to me. But first let's define racism.
Racism is defined as "Discrimination or prejudice based on race" by the American Heritage Dictionary. Okay, now let's examine further. Since I can't recall the name of the club offhand, we're going to refer to it as the Black Students Club (BSC). The BSC is a club exclusively for African-American students here at Penn State Harrisburg, thus any other race is denied entrance into this club. Denying someone entrance into an establishment due to their race is discrimination. The BSC denies membership based on race- thus, they are discriminating. According to the dictionary referenced earlier, discrimination based on race is racism. Therefore, the BSC openly practices racism in its recruiting tactics. Sadly, this is overlooked by the Penn State policy that claims to not tolerate bigotry, racism, sexism, discrimination, and all other similar practices. Why is it acceptable for this to go on? I don't mean to make the BSC out to sound like a bunch of hate-filled racists or anything, but the group itself practices racism, whether the members involved realize it or not. And no matter how any of you assholes look at it, the fact remains that this IS racism. Not only that, it is University-sponsored racism.
All this time, groups have been begging for equality -- when and where did the quest for equality turn into a quest for supremacy?
If I were to form a student club here at school called The White Students Club, I'd get shut the hell down faster than I can even imagine. I would be called a skinhead, a racist piece of shit, and a white supremacist. People would tell me to go join the KKK and burn a cross (after which I would kindly tell them to go suck piss). I can only imagine the heat I'd get from people if I made a group like that. Not that I ever would of course, but that isn't the point.
Look, I know that African-Americans were mistreated very very extensively by whites during the earlier years of the United States, but there is nothing I can do about that. Thankfully, times have changed and a lot of racism has been dealt with (yes, I know that racism still goes on, blah blah blah, but not as widely as it did before). Either way, the circumstances of the past absolutely cannot justify the practice of any kind of racism today. That would be like Jews saying that they should be allowed to kill six million Germans for what happened to them in World War II. Anyone can see that is a completely ridiculous idea. This is the same concept.
I don't know where I'm going with this. I guess I just wanted to illustrate the point that there really is no such thing as "equality" when things like this are allowed to go on. Once again, we live in a world of double standards.
Makes me sick.

Biology sucks.
Well, first I think I'll start out by saying this: fuck biology. Biology pisses me the hell off like no class I can remember.
Maybe it's wrong of me to like to think of myself as anything more than a walking, talking hunk of meat. In reality, I think I can honestly say that I am more than just another animal on this planet. But no, biology, you insist that I'm on par with creatures such as coral, dung beetles, and three toed-sloths. And while I do enjoy the sight of a good three-toed sloth, I don't think that we are what can be considered equal in terms of a whole lot of anything. I mean, sure we share some things in common: hair, eyeballs, a mouth, the occasional vagina or penis (which is probably much larger than mine), and of course a brain. My problem with biology is that I think it undermines everything about life and why I live. If I'm just another animal, why do I bother living? As with other animals, I'll likely not make any contribution at all to existence nor will I have any kind of significance at all when time is reflected upon. Wow, life really doesn't seem worth living anymore. Thanks, biology, you heartless bitch.
Not only this, I'm not big on believing evolution. I don't find anything even remotely appealing about the theory of evolution; oh and it IS just a theory, not a "principal" as my asshole of a textbook claims it to be since it's so "widely accepted by a majority of scientists worldwide." Know what, biology textbook? Eat shit, that's what. I can convince the entire world that basketball is a game invented by the Great Tofu People of Virginia from the year 12-whore-98 under the influence of a hot, spicy boner but that doesn't make it true does it? Of course not and I'm sure that fuckhell biologists would be among the first to point it out to me.
My textbook pisses me off so damn much that I just want to bite my lungs out then choke myself with them. For one, it has the nerve to call evolution a "principal" merely on the basis that some people accept it as truth. Then it has the nerve to get all preachy about how humans are threatening the stability of the planet by the way we alter other ecosystems for our own selfish means (a big example in the book was the estimated rate of 400 species being put to extinction each day). Hm, is it just me or does Mr. Biology undermine his own theory of evolution? Or is it now acceptable to hold a species to a double standard, even if we ARE just animals? You see, I was always taught that part of evolution included the "survival of the fittest." "Survival of the fittest" reasoning says that only the strong survive while the weak die off due to being incapable of sustaining life under present conditions. If this really is part of evolution, and we humans are just animals, then doesn't it make perfect sense that all these other animals are being killed off by us? Hell, we're the strongest, they're the weakest- let the motherfuckers die, we don't need them. It's the natural thing to do. But no, biology, you insist that even if we are no more than any other animal in existence, it is still our responsibility to babysit all the other animals.
Hold up here, folks, biology isn't done not-making-sense just quite yet. Well, actually this is directed toward the lovely people who wrote/published/shat out my $117 biology book (which, for $117, should get me off every time I turn a page). I'm supposed to conserve trees and plants and blah blah blah, but you don't? I say this because as numerous professors here at college have stated, it is completely unnecessary to publish edition after edition of the same damn text. Switching the order of chapters doesn't constitute making more books. Sure, I kill a tree or two with my paper consumption but not nearly as many trees as you hypocritical arseholes do by pinching off all these damn biology textbooks. Ah, now let us ask ourselves why a company would bother to shell out all these editions of the same book hm? It's simple really. If edition one of book A sold well, we'll make it again so that book B sells well too (even though schools don't really need to re-buy them, they do anyway) and we get more money, yaaaaay! Alright conservation-crazy biologists, you just not only killed off another 19 acres of rainforest for books, you killed off another 19 acres to make paper money with! KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!!
So to the hypocritical dicks at McGraw-Hill, thanks for the following: a) attempting to strip life of its significance and meaning, b) trying to slap the face of all who do not accept evolution as truth, and c) painting a wonderful picture of the kind of hypocrisy that's running the state of the world straight to hell.
