Racism and sexism: a match made in hell...

Funny  or not funny enough, #racism and #sexism are opposite sides of the same coin. They are both systematic tools for oppression, manipulation and control of certain groups of people by other groups of people. They both confer a variety of privileges on certain groups of individuals at the expense of another group. They both impact and  transfer significant socio cultural, political and economic power from one group of individuals to another group of individuals....

Apart from stealing from people socio-culturally, Politically and economically,  racism and sexism also rob it's victims of their self worth, self esteem, self confidence and awareness because surprise or not so surprise, that is exactly what they are designed to do.  To put It ever so nicely, sexism and racism are the the oposite of the gift that keeps on giving wonderful and nice,  jolly things...

Finally,  people who benefit from either sexism or racism or both are generally either unwilling to admit this blatant truth or go to great lengths to underplayed the significance of these benefits.  This often leads it's benefactors into a massive hole of self denial, delusions, superiority complex-both concious and unconcious, and enough cognitive dissonance to last more than a few generations.....

More on this later....

Hello, it's me, your pet peeve.

Rewind 10 years ago, some one asked me what my pet peeve was. After saying pardon for what seemed like the 77th time, i offered up the only solution i could come up  with at the time, i let out a nervous, high pitched, laughter, crossed my fingers and  toes  and hoped for the best. Thankfully, i now know what a pet peeve is.  But, if you are like me of approximately 10 years ago and you don't know what a pet peeve is, let me  do the honourable  google thing by giving you a brief definition. A pet peeve is something you find ridiculously annoying, something that gets on the nerves of your very last nerve, something that winds every fibre of your being up, and finally, something that makes you want to punch an imaginary annoying person in the F$%cking face. If you haven't guessed  the subject of my blog for today, you may be in for a mildish surprise. Today, folks, i'll be  writing about a  certain pet peeve of mine. Here goes. You know whe...

Don't say hello, it's not you I am looking for.

We can all agree that consistency is a vital ingredient for success. Even being a jerk requires a BA in persistence and a high level of consistency. Hence, there are no semi-jerks, only jerks.  No part time douchbags, only full time ones. I am not sure ,where I am going with this but please bear with me while I gather my thoughts. Right, where was I? Ohhh yes, I am right here where I left me.  If you are a resident of the wonderful island of great Britain and also a parent,  you'd be 6 weeks into your back to school jamboree/celebrations/festivities .  Yes, it's probably time to pack away the gin and tonic and return to whatever it is you do while your kids are busy chewing their pencils at school. Ooor maybe not, because allo allo, next week is half term. Did somebody say, how time flies? I must say, the first week of the back to school saga wasn't nearly as dreadfully exciting as I thought it would be. Sadly, no one asked me about what I got up to ...
