hey but what about how the TV seems to use the women it also holds up as pretty violent, there to be sexually abused, stereotypes
also as sort of evil morality tales?
like so much on TV seems to be sort of an allegory
like a sunday hell fire and brimstone sermon on women of loose morals as prostitutes and how they deserve it
and/ or with the women as dehumanized stupid nasty mean subhuman’s
there for sex that nobody has to think twice about as people
it also seems to justify using them for sex
have you seen the new Black Eyed Peas video?
with the dreaded Fergie ferge
it's like a minstrel show
didn't they do that "where is the love" song?
wow, i think they are all on crack now!
"I sho'w do like those dirty guys" Fergie says in the new video,
"I can't stay on my divan I'm twitching my ass all over the place,
all these guys are low class scary minority stereotypes
so I haven't had sex in 15 whole minutes"
the, " if I take you home will you love me" video?
watch it, it's horrible
the Native American guy is the best one I think
when they pan into his face
oh my god
he's the A typical stereotype of your drunken rapist Indian/mexican
it's horrible
I think that the people programming the TV
hang out in a really nasty country club and are neo con republican
you know those friends parents you go out to dinner with
at the local "Scottish inn" theme restaurant
and they immediately start on the black people jokes
true story of course, i'm not smart enough to make it up
life makes me sound smart because it gives me good material
not every one at the "Scottish inn" is racist either
but racism and sexism
like sexual harassment are catching
I just moved back from the South West and you hear a lot of such prejudice still
and it's terrible, the Indian or and Hispanic people are very nice
normal people and they don't look like that at all
there is a very large community in the South West
many of the Hispanics have been there since the 16 hundreds
and the Indians since 20,000 BC
and it's a bit hard to tell who is who
every body seems to have intermarried, as people do
and there are lots of Spanish German Irish English Indian people running around
that share great culture
and nobody looks like that stereotype
the Indians don't look like that stereo type at all
they look a bit Asian, have high cheek bones and rather round faces
and have great jewelry and textiles
in my crappy neighborhood in the South west
the two people I was afraid of
were this giant bullying white guy with a even larger pit-bull
the pit-bull was ok though,
my dog is a duffus and he jumps on other dogs and he might have tried to eat him, but the huge pit bull just looked at him rather superiorly and sniffed,
my dog is a wimp too,
i went to the pound to get a guard dog and i took home the one that gave me the most wimpy get me the hell out of hear wimper wimper face
he's the nerdy duffus likes to climb mountains dog
he barks ok and can run fast
but the guy!
he was not ok
he replaced a nice Hispanic couple who lived down stairs from me
when they moved out
the guy was like eight feet tall and five feet wide
why did he need a huge pit-bull, he was intimidating enough?
and there was no avoiding him,
every time I walked buy
in my work clothes that would have almost been acceptable in Iran
he said "hey lets have sex?"
he would actually say "lets watch a movie, you look hot"
but it was palatably implied
he had this pretty, very nice little plump girl friend too
and the guy who attacked me,
was ubber clean cut, khaki pants nice shirt,
dark blond buzz cut
and blue eyes
he looked so normal
it's just so stupid and wrong
and you are right
how can you blame the kids or men even?
when it is like a mantra
it gets in the culture
and maybe the TV represents the prejudices of nasty CEO's
for all sorts of reasons,
like I said i really don't think you should ever ever ever trust the guy who owns stock in something
I don’t think censorship is the answer
But legally there are laws about sexual harassment and hate speech
And for good reason
i can't rember what they are exactly now, they got lost in my
Latin homework
Also I articulated some of the prejudices that people face
and that programs literally beat into them day after day all day and night
Like calling them the uni bomber, remember I’m using uni bomber like unpleasant to describe horrible prejudice and abusive indoctrination, because it makes it easier for me
Fortunately nobody calls me the uni bomber any more
Except my family occasionally, if I start complaining about sexism on TV or something
Nobody wants to hear me go on and on and on about life?
Huh I wonder why
But it’s almost like a tool of social control
And it is there
I also am older and far too aware of this stuff
And I have work to do
So I am very clean cut and I am a small girl with a nice likable face
i'm not very threatening really, put it that way
Who is articulate and who’s family drives a Mercedes
So I am from a back round where I clean up well
Also school is certainly interesting
It is interesting to look at it not as some one neck deep in it
Very good people watching
There is a bunch of stuff going on
The kids are very young and cute too
You have to feel for them
I could write a book about it
But like my Latin class
I have never had Latin before
And my teacher throws a great deal of stuff at us
It’s hard put it that way
And easy to get discouraged
And the girl I sit next to
Had five years of it in high school
The class certainly seems to be catered more to her
Of course those out of programs
Or in foster care did not have five years of Latin in high school
my grandfather actually worked for NASA
I have a very good memory
and a pretty high IQ
despite how badly I did in middle school!
In middle school, the reason my homework wasn’t turned in on time,
Very honestly was because I was reading a most of the adult classics in the library
At like 12,
I work in a bookstore now, although I get in trouble for looking at books in the bookstore!
No reading at all in the book store!
if you glance at the newspaper during a lull at Barnes & Noble after waiting on 300 customers, they yell at you and find some stupid pointless task for you to do
But I work at a bookstore and I read half of the classics when I was twelve
They fascinated me, they were just so good?
I really like books, they say the stuff that no body else will or does, but that you know.
But anyway so I’m pretty smart with a good memory and i have the stupid paper to prove it
And I couldn’t stand school
It made me feel stupid
And I have high IQ
And most people I think are pretty smart, at least in some pretty big way?
But the Latin
I’m getting it, but it’s like it’s supposed to be a IQ Darwin test rather then us learning it, i swear they make it hard and dense as mud pies!
jumping through hoops!
I have to teach myself everything,
and organize it properly to teach myself
my teacher reminds me of the Wizard of OZ
"pay no attention to the Latin behind the curtain"
I almost like the guy too, but it seems like he's not very connected to the fact that not everyone had Latin in high school recently?
I don’t know?
I’m an adult too, with good study skills
I can just see how kids get lost in it.
i got lost in it when i was their age
Especially with all the other stuff going on
Like I think the dorms might be a bit nutty
Just from observing
I hope they all hang in there!
They really are cute, I like the one’s that kind of look like my dog the best,
with that wimpy over whelmed look!
If I scratch one behind the ears they will probably think I’m nuts.
Maybe it’s some motherly complex that is kicking in, wow mid life crisis.
on another note
women can be mean as hell too
i am not saying as a feminist all women are saints
look at PV staff
those are some mean mean mean bitches!
but i don't think that because women are just like every other group
with many dangerous Nazi nutballs
that it justifies sexual harassment in any way?
or that that even relates in any way
other then if humans feel threatened they tend to get meaner
