I have to admit, I've been going back to that race hate site and reading it intermittently during the day, and it's...well, it kinda makes me feel better, if that makes any sense.
They are so supremely idiotic, and also offended by
everything,
that I know my just existing drives them nuts. I had no idea I could accomplish so much by just waking up in the morning.
Now I consider myself a little bit more informed on a specific sort of stupidity out there, and I can close the windows and move on with my life.
People are idiots. They do that on the reservation, too. There's a little safari themed bus you can take to go down and stare at the "natives" buying groceries at the Bashas. It really couldn't get more offensive.

... I cannot even begin to understand that.
Except it's hardly restricted to NO or the reservation. When we were in Granada we were offered the opportunity to take a tour of the hillside caves above the city, where the Roma live. "Just like Hobbit-holes," said the salesman. "Gypsies and Hobbits, just about the same anyway."
My niece and I were so horrified we didn't even react, just begged off and got out of there.
"Slumming" isn't a new practice.
P-C,
LOL. I cannot get enough of the Ryan Gosling tumblrs. Seriously.
BTW. I am wide awake at WTF o'clock and I'm not happy about it.
This week is not starting well. I am sick (I hab a code), I am menstruating, and I could not sleep last night. The amount I want to be at work is zero, but we have a big program next week, and then I am off for the theatre the week after that.
Also, I was so confused this morning because Martin Sheen emailed be about President Obama. Then I realized he must be part of some democratic association I signed up for, obviously Martin Sheen does not have my email.
Good lord, Liese.
I'm not saying people shouldn't go down there - but find someone from the neighborhood to tell the story, volunteer, interact. Be a decent human being, please.

I am le nubian.
Sophia, I hope your week improves quickly.
I thought Slumdog Millionaire was poverty porn, too, so slumming takes multiple forms as well.

I can see that being confusing in an "Am I still dreaming?" kind of way.
