ok so 2 things happened today. i was eating lunch with my friends, when another friend of mine came up to me. i was talking to her about school and stuff and then she asked me "why are all your friends white?". so i dont get it. firstly, i am not white. i am African and my skin tone is light skin, so im not fully black, but im not white. what i dont get is why she said that. does it matter? i assume the reason is because most black people tend to look down on white people because of akk the oppression they've suffered and are still suffering. i understand that. but whats the reason of asking why all my friends are white? for the record, im friends with people i like talking to. i dont care if they're white, black, Asian, Mexican, i dont fucking care. so why is it important to her? this is something ive been thinking about a lot. why is it that black people can be racist to white people but vice-versa is bad? again, im not white. im not defending anyone. im just trying to understand why this is a thing. there really shouldn't be a topic im talking about, because its such a shitty thing to ask. i just told her "idk" because what am i gonna say? "oh idk i guess i like white people more"??? no im not gonna say that, because its such a bullshit thing to talk about.
another thing that happened is i was sitting in class with a friend and i was singing the lyrics of "Odd Toddlers" By Tyler, The Creator, and i said the line "i sold my soul to the devil for 30% off". my friend is christian, so i understand his reaction to what i said. he told me i shouldn't listen to demonic music, which i understand from his POV. so i asked to see his playlist and he had Playboi Carti, Destroy Lonely, Ken Carson, etc and i pointed out that all of their music is demonic, but he says it doesnt count because apparently he prays everyday???? so i said "ok well im gonna to listen to my music and you listen to yours" and he said "no you need to turn to jesus before the day of judgement". again, for the record, i am not Christian. as far as it goes, im Muslim and he knows that. i told him i already have a religion and he said the real religion is Christianity. i was like what???????? ok then? i dont fucking care. its not my religion. its like what Tyler said in Radicals off Goblin, " Fuck your traditions, (and) fuck your positions (and) Fuck your religion, (and) fuck your decisions (See), they're not mine, (so) you gotta let 'em go (See), we can be ourselves, but you gotta let us know". why do people of any religion try to push it so much? i dont get it. i think both these subjects are mostly the lack of respect. if you're religious, good for you, dont push it on to me, because i dont care. if you're any race, dont be racist (and i mean actually racist, not the joke kind, thats fine) cuz its fucking annoying. why do people care so much about other peoples point of views?? i wish i knew......
