I was doing a Civil Disobedience journal on M.L.K Jr. for English, stuff with his "I have a dream Speech" which I find very intriguing and I really respect the man and his words and actions. The i ran across someone on Youtube from the White Knights Party, a teenager 16 like me, talking about how its not good to mix races, etc. I observed that the manner she was talking was a very careful one, and she was very careful about what she said, but still got her point across. I googled it and found an entire forum like this one and was just like OMG!!!! I don't want to post the link because the site condones racism, but I couldn't believe they had an entire section for youth! I went to the last page of the "introduction" topic where people posted why they joined the site, and I couldn't believe what I was reading. People were so angry about "the war on white culture in america" and stuff, and a lot of it seemed to stem from religion.
But to top it all off, I saw one guy who had a problem: he was deeply in love with a girl, but she wasn't a white nationalist. So, he tried to convert her and failed miserably because she was a moderate democrat. Then everyone on the forum trolled about her.
I don't understand; how can you let beliefs that are based on ignorance and manipulation hold back love? Love, in its purest form, isn't really rational; its emotional. I just don't understand, and this was the only place I figured I could rant about it a bit without annoying my friends. I think I just need to talk about it.
My first real friend was a black kid who lived next door to me since we, well...were born. I remember all the springs and summers of stuff we did, before we were even in school. I just don't understand, its ten o'cock at night, and I've still got to finish this journal by identifying some metaphors. Thanks for listening, i hope someone besides me gets something out of this.
