What is it about some people that makes them feel they can say anything about other people to anyone? Or, rather, to someone whom they are familiar with? it completely boggles my mind. Why do people feel like they can use stereotypes, racist imagery and just plain ole stupidity about other people to anyone as long as the object of their ignorance isn't around? I hear and have to check it all the time from the stupid k-9s to the inmates, no matter what level of supposed consciousness or supposed authority they have. I had this one cop (k9) who was doing my legal mail one day, noticed the sender's address was frisco. This guy starts going off about homosexuals and how they are this and that...extremely ignorant stuff.

ignorant because for one it's mindless regurgitation of some other idiot's stereotypes. When or with whom a person, or how a person has sex - which is an act, a physical act, has not a thing to do with gender identity. Also, because you listen and you know this guy hasn't given any original thought to the point. They're basically parakeets with no home training. So i'm forced to put this guy into his pocket and let him know, "man, don't you realize you're talking to a Black man? Listen, spare me your brilliance - it's blinding - and just process my mail. It was sad because you can tell from the guy's wait and complexion the fact that he's perspiring just opening a letter that he cares nothing for himself and disparages others in order to, in the great amerikan class's democratic way, have someone to step on, to make himself feel better about his own shortcomings.
