I’m a black man, living in a white country, and racism is inevitable, but what I see in public places is nothing but bunch of lost souls trying to bring out their titles to get accepted, and at the same time when I look around I see those who don’t have an impressive titles or story to tell, so they hide who they are by avoiding everyone else. For example on my way home from school, (level of education above high school but below university) me and my x-class mate from the entrance exams were wondering how those who didn’t make it in are doing these days. Then Next to us, was a 40 year old man, just looking out the window and couldn’t even take a look at us and I could sense that he was hurt from the inside. The fact that he was white, and we were the foreigner lookalikes, our conversations made him feel small. This is what makes people here very anti-social to each other.

Then an example in a warehouse, which is divided into two departments, business and warehouse crew itself. Being in part of the crew, without education, everybody made friends with each other. I had a crush on my employer, as in the boss of my boss.(Only 3 years of age difference) If I wanted to become friends with her outside of work, and others from the crew would notice us in public places, it would only lower her reputation. What she did throughout her career, was isolated herself from those below, which leaves a reputation of a stuck up bitch, but if she did socialize and become friends with others.

This is prejudice bullsh*t that breeds jealousy from those below, and ignorance on those above the ladder. When jealousy meets ignorance, people get left behind. Anonymous or not, share your thoughts so maybe we can all come up with ideas that when groups of people from different levels of this society collide, we can actually be who we are and not be judged by color, nationality, age, ranks in society and other bullsh*t measures.
