White Privileged?

We are having more fun than should be allowed. Today we are celebrating. I think we are just celebrating us. We come from Southeast Asia and the highlands of the Four Corners region of America. We fight like mad cats in a bag. (Where New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Utah meet in a corner - quite interesting)

So I was checking out this cool song and not normally my style I looked at the video. I do not even like Paul Simon. Too milk toast for me. But a really cool display by clearly great dancers and happy men just to sing and dance. Maybe it is just a show. But what I know about Simon is that it is probably not. Like they were really having a blast. Made me wonder if Paul Simon is a Black man in white skin. Color is just a reflection of something from the light. Let me know. At night things look dark and in the bright sun they look all different. My mom said that too bright of a sun made colors look "washed" out. A "mirage" is a total trip on colors as is a snow storm. I love little critters that can change colors as camouflage, how cool is that?

I do not think I turn white as a ghost anymore. But I still get real dark or sunny.

I think it was a bar in Berrima? I got accosted. Me and my two pards were just being American. But seems that was not so cool to the team of rugby players. Futball, Football and Rugby seem to have some issues. So the dance floor was cleared. The ball was produced and it was three on three. Danged those Aussies. Broke another's nose and my bruised rib did not heal for two weeks. I think the bartender won as we drank more pints than a good man does in a life time.

I can promise you that a "black" eye is more purple no matter what color "you" are. I have seen a lot of bleeding in my lifetime. Never ever did see any blood that was not red.

Now I have heard that Martians are green. But isn't Mars a red planet. Someone told me that old people are all gray. Where does that come from? Which brings us to veins you can see being blue; that is just weird.

Made me get it real clear in my head. We was all white I think although maybe one was an Aboriginal. Don't know or care.

I think rainbows have colors.

I can 100% declare that I have physically fought more than anyone reading this. I just did it. I liked to fight. Strangest thing. I can push my nose in full on to my cheeks. Doc says it never developed because it broke so much during development. My kids love me to show them. It is very funny.

I liked to fight in a racial manner. Call my drinking buddy the N word and YAHOO the beer bottle was broken on a head! I liked pool cues. And pool balls. Of course full bore ramming a biker into a Juke Box is the best. They have a word for big old white guys like me - "idiot".

I used to love being so sure of myself. Now I wake up questioning myself and for sure darn tooting happy to be in this space. I am going to kick some weeds butt today. Crab grass just back off, mean and nasty Eric is coming after you. I am sure of myself that I can take them out.

Have you ever noticed that both good and bad plants are normally green until they die and then both are brown.

Our moon has been crazy cool lately. It has a color basically just determined by the sun reflection. But sometimes it gets all fantastic glowing because of earth's bad atmosphere. Bad things can create great color?

What now?! Do have this right? A very white gal from down South America way, dancing and partying with a whole bunch of Black, Brown and white guys from basically Europe in Africa? OK that is just crazy. Is someone going to suggest to me next that a black youth from Detroit would be welcome in Tokyo? Hold on here and help me out. A dark Norwegian would be welcome in Greece?

An Arabian looking gal can get elected to a prominent political position in the USA. Next you are going to tell me that a Black man can be president of the USA. But I want diversity including color. Just to get over it, I will face paint with my son this afternoon. No one is going to tell me that color does not matter. I like limes green and lemons yellow.

This world is just nuts. Next someone is going to tell me that for the most part Jewish and Arab folk get along just fine - just weirdos change that truth. No way!

Next you are going to tell me that my passable; Chaldean, French, Spanish and Vietnamese would be like normal and that I am not special - well I left out English as that is debatable as you can see:-) I was going through a map with my young half white son and I think Antarctica I have not been to and if Greenland was not stamped in my older passport I would not know I was there. Sorry but the same for Shang Hai, I just do not remember.

I figure I just missed out on all these changes. This whole world for about 97% is just all tidy and getting along. Four thousand miles apart and different colors and people for the full on most part just get along.

Sounds like borders might be an issue. But I get that. Silly me, I lock my car and door at night. But I do not have a fence in my front yard. Seems kind of unfriendly and I have bottles of water by my door for hard working door to door people. (I know the plastic is all wrong but hey those JW's always look parched)

I need a new black Cowboy hat gave mine away to a yellow man my straw colored one needs a break from time to time.

Well that is wrong. It is still bright and sunny out. But for a time I was security for Qualcom and my shift was night. Those cranky satellite dishes needed my caring protection. For some time it was always dark in my life. Did you know that you can good at discerning colors in the full dark. I implemented a policy of turning all lights off at night. You see/see that we got real used to the full dark. But intruders were not.

Stay sharp. Keep those lights off and get used to seeing without the idea of seeing color.
